Still River Financial Planning

My clients are young families and professionals in their 30s-40s who have hit a wall when it comes to managing their finances. They have busy personal schedules, growing careers, and recently introduced financial complexity that’s too much to manage. Questions my clients have include: - How do I prioritize multiple financial goals? - I have some cash saved, but what should I do with it? - I don't understand my taxes, is there more I should be doing? - Should I be saving for my children’s education? - Will I be able to retire on time, and live comfortably once I get there? - I’m self-employed, how should I be planning for my future? - How should I handle my equity compensation? - Do I have enough insurance to protect my loved ones? - How does having a baby impact my financial situation?

North Andover, MA

Powwow, LLC

For years Quentara was the unexpected primary caregiver for her father who was diagnosed with Alzheimers. During his transition she continued to work, buy a house, get married, and start a family. She founded Powwow with the intent of helping other families prioritize their goals that are often neglected due to the in-the-moment demands of kids and aging parents. Powwow is fee-for-service, meaning a family's net worth, relationships, goals, and concerns are discussed and illustrated without the need to invest assets or purchase product. If you have questions related to every day goals, elder care transition, and kids you've come to the right place. Quentara has been featured in numerous publications, including NerdWallet, CBS MoneyWatch, and Financial Planning Magazine. She has also been invited to present on financial planning and elder care topics throughout Massachusetts. Follow her on social media and reach out to schedule a free consultation.
