A LITTLE PERSPECTIVE GOES A LONG WAY.

Life happens.
Usually with
an invoice.

Kids grow. Businesses get busy. Retirement gets closer. Your financial plan should keep up.

We’re Tara and Soroush. We help you see the whole picture, understand the tradeoffs, and make a plan for the life you actually live.

“I only went in for milk.”A woman gives her reflection a wry look as a grocery receipt unrolls all the way across the floor.A familiar feeling. An honest reflection.
Your financial reality. Reflected honestly.Clear assumptions. Tax effects considered. No inflated promises.

MONEY IS PERSONAL. SOMETIMES ABSURDLY SO.

Which plot twist
is yours?

Start with your life. Open a question. See what we would look at together.

A comic family compares a tiny outgrown shoe with a new sneaker while a dog adds another shoe to the budget.

FAMILY LIFE. NOW WITH MORE RECEIPTS.

The budget was going beautifully. Then everyone needed shoes.

Children, a mortgage, a future to save for. Apparently they all expect to be funded at the same time.

Pick a question to look a little closer

If one income stopped, would the family be okay?

We start with the bills that would keep arriving. We compare the income your family would lose with essential spending, debts, savings and existing insurance.

What we look atIncome to replace · Support needed over time · Resources already in place

How do we give the kids a head start?

Education, independence, a little room to find their way. We bring the goal, the timeline and affordable saving into the same picture, then check how it fits with your own future.

What we look atEducation goals · Savings and contributions · Your retirement needs

Why does a decent income still feel stretched?

Because the annual bills have a habit of arriving every year. We map everyday spending alongside irregular costs, debt payments and saving goals to see where the pressure actually comes from.

What we look atMonthly cash flow · Annual costs · Competing priorities

A business owner wears a stack of three hats while giving a towering pile of invoices a knowing look.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE. CHIEF EVERYTHING ELSE.

Your business had a great year. Your personal account would like a word.

Revenue is lovely. So are payroll, taxes and eventually getting paid yourself. Let’s connect the business to the life it’s meant to support.

Pick a question to look a little closer

How does business success become personal income?

We compare ways of drawing income with their personal and corporate tax effects, your household needs and the cash the business needs to keep operating.

What we look atPersonal spending · Corporate cash flow · Tax effects

There’s money in the company. How much is really available?

A healthy balance can already have several jobs. We separate operating needs and upcoming obligations from money that could support longer-term goals.

What we look atOperating reserves · Tax obligations · Available capital

What happens if the business needs to run without me?

We look at how dependent the business and household are on you, then bring continuity, protection and succession questions into the planning conversation.

What we look atOwner dependence · Family income · Continuity and succession

An amused retired couple is ready for a trip, but a very long household bill has invited itself along.

YOU CAN RETIRE. THE BILLS HAVE OTHER PLANS.

Every day can be Saturday. The grocery bill will still know what day it is.

You’ve earned a different pace. Let’s work out how your savings, pensions and spending can support it—with the assumptions in plain sight.

Pick a question to look a little closer

Could I stop working sooner?

We compare retirement dates using consistent spending and investment assumptions. More free time can mean fewer saving years and more years of withdrawals; both belong in the picture.

What we look atRetirement timing · Spending after tax · Different return and inflation assumptions

What replaces the monthly paycheque?

We bring pensions, benefits and investment withdrawals into an income timeline. The focus is what is available to spend after tax, and how that may change over time.

What we look atIncome sources · Withdrawal timing · Tax and cash-flow effects

Can I help the family and still look after myself?

We compare what you hope to give with the income and flexibility you may need later. Estate and liquidity questions sit alongside your own future spending.

What we look atGifting goals · Future spending needs · Estate liquidity
