FPNW is a fee-only fiduciary that supports the Do-It-Yourself investor and those just getting started. FPNW has four offerings: 1. Deep Dive – Reviews ten key financial topics and generates a detailed “To-Do List” for your implementation. 2. Comprehensive Financial Plan – A detailed projection of your financial future that answers questions like: “Am I on track for retirement?” “Are my investments too conservative? Or too risky?” “How should I save for a home or college?” “Is my current financial advisor doing a good job?” 3. Let’s Get Started – You seek coaching on how to set up your financial affairs from 401-(k) plans at work or savings plans for the self-employed, investing to basic banking and insurance. 4. Projects – Maybe it’s reconstructing your cost basis or you’ve inherited a mess from a parent. Planning for the estate taxes levied by Oregon and Washington is important. FPNW does not provide investment management services. FPNW helps clients either manage their own investments or locate other financial advisers who provide investment services. As a fiduciary, your success comes first. FPNW does NOT sell any financial products and does NOT accept any outside compensation. Previously I served wealthy clients. My goal now is to democratize the wealth creation process and to offer the same expertise whether you’ve got millions or only hundreds to invest. FPNW’s Philosophy Time on earth is our most important asset. Live accordingly and joyfully. Over the long run, stocks and real estate outperform other assets classes with built-in inflation projection. Take only as much investment risk as needed to reach your goals. The only correct allocation to stocks is one you're comfortable with and will stick to. Low-cost, tax efficient Exchange Traded Funds and index funds allow you to craft a simple sustainable portfolio. Tax-efficiency is key. Asset location matters. Sustainable and ethical investing is extremely competitive with “mainstream” investments. Diversify internationally. Philanthropy - Let’s discuss how to support your favorite charities while you’re alive and as part of your legacy. The comedian Chris Rock said it best. “Wealth is not about having a lot of money; It’s about having a lot of OPTIONS.” Let’s start with a free discussion to discover your best options. To quote legendary baseball player Yogi Berra, “If you don’t know where you’re going, you won't get there.."

Taylor’s passion for financial planning started when she and her husband decided to take a break from their traditional career paths in Seattle to join the Peace Corps. She served for two years in Kyrgyzstan before joining her family-owned financial planning business in Vancouver, Washington. Since then, Taylor has found that she has a passion for serving clients who are ambitious in their career paths and hobbies alike. Most importantly, hearing about her clients’ travel plans and being able to assist them in making them happen is incredibly rewarding. The best challenge that Taylor faces is helping her clients build flexibility into their financial plans. When she is able to oversee and assist her clients execute a sabbatical that they have been dreaming of, this is not only satisfying for the client but her as well. Taylor began her career in consulting and as a project manager at large companies. With this experience, she knows what it is like to make decisions on benefits, to advocate for herself in annual reviews, and to navigate corporate work environments. Taylor brings her prior experience to her sabbatical planning work by adding creativity to the more technical side of financial planning. Mindmaps, roadmaps, and her favorite…. brainstorming with Post-Its are some of her favorite techniques in sabbatical planning because they create active engagement with clients and provide fresh and insightful perspective. Taylor would love to help you in your journey in planning for a break or transition in your current career. Vacations and doing what you love should not be an event that only happens once you retire. Contact Taylor if you would love to know the next steps to living your work and personal life to their fullest.
