The Financial Planning Co. exists to improve financial lives. We commonly work with people with retirement planning, notably investment management and income planning. Whether through finding previously unknown opportunities for clients or figuring out how much is enough for those who’re ready to step away or establishing financial ground rules for increasing the odds of success, FPC works hand-in-hand with clients on their way to financial independence. We believe that plans rarely work but planning does. Luke DeBoer has a long history of guiding individuals, families, and corporations in multiple facets of financial planning, including investing, retirement planning, insurance, & employer benefits consulting. To support these efforts, Luke is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional, completed the Certified Benefits Professional program, and holds an MBA with a concentration in Tax from the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota. His professional career includes time at Fidelity Investments as a consultant, leading the financial wellbeing efforts for Delta Air Lines and for UnitedHealth Group, and as a Sr. Relationship Manager at Optum Bank, specializing in HSA’s and their relationship with retirement savings. Luke is married to Gina DeBoer and they have 5 children (Isabella, Veda, Judah, Lucia, Amelia), ages 6-15. They are members at Oakwood Community Church in Waconia. Luke also serves as a Board Member and the Treasurer of the Waconia public school district. Luke is a native Minnesotan, having grown up in the Elk River area.

The Work Stuff– My name is Ben Smith, and I am the Founder of Cove Financial Planning, a Certified B Corporation focused on comprehensive financial planning and Socially Responsible Investing. I believe that everyone, regardless of age, occupation, net worth, and investment experience, deserves a customized financial plan and the peace of mind that comes with it. Before starting Cove, I worked for several investment companies, and saw just how boring, complex and off-putting investing can be for many people. Traditional advisors also have a reputation for specifically catering to high-net-worth individuals with a singular focus on account size. My mission is to provide access to high-quality advice to a broader range of people who want to take control of their financial lives (and maybe have some fun in the process!) I also passionately believe in helping people blend Socially Responsible Investing into their long-term financial plans. I’m here to prove that you can Do Well While Doing Good! The Fun Stuff– I’m originally from Minneapolis and have since lived in Chicago and Milwaukee. My wife Kotryna works in investment banking, and while we aren’t at the office, you can find us hanging with our newborn daughter Frances (Francie) or debating nerdy investment topics over a home-cooked meal and a glass of wine. We are big believers in learning new things and staying active. Currently, she’s teaching me how to salsa dance (not going well) and speak Lithuanian (where she’s from), while we both sharpen our tennis skills. We’re proud owners of Apple Watches for the sole purpose of beating each other’s daily fitness activity (feel free to join the competition!) We also travel as often as we can, and we’re always looking for suggestions on places to check out in Europe when visiting her family. Above all else, we both believe that life is about balance. I hope that I can help you find your balance with money, and maybe make the world a little better place in the process. Visit www.coveplanning.com to learn more and get in touch!
