About

Melissa is a Certified Financial Planner ™, Certified Divorce Financial Analyst ™and holds a Masters degree in Personal Financial Planning from the University of MO-Columbia. You can see why Melissa is highly qualified to help clients with their financial planning needs! I am often asked, “How do I save for my children’s college fund, my own retirement and the luxuries that I enjoy, like vacations? How do you balance all of that?”

A detailed, written financial plan with the strategy to live your best life and maximizing your hard-earned dollars by focusing on the 6 areas of financial planning - Net Worth Analysis, Investment Management, Estate Planning, Insurance Analysis and especially careful Tax Planning and Cash Flow Management, is the key. When you have your Cash Flow and Taxes in line, everything else falls into place.

Melissa is also very well versed in Divorce Planning. If you are facing divorce, understanding the financial implications in the divorce process is a must! Sure, you need an attorney to finalize the divorce process. However, you need a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst to help make the financial decisions that will change your life forever. Whether you need help understanding an offer that has been made, knowing what your future tax situation looks like or to help craft an offer that is equitable, Melissa can help! She has experienced two divorces and understands the impact divorce has both financially and emotionally.
