At Sunflower Financial Planning, we specialize in helping families in the midlife stage navigate complex financial responsibilities with clarity and confidence. Our clients are often balancing competing priorities—saving for their own future, supporting aging parents, and funding college education for their children. We guide them in building long-term wealth while creating financial security today. We also work closely with pre-retirees who are preparing to transition into retirement. Through personalized, comprehensive planning, we help align their resources with their goals, offering strategies for income distribution, tax efficiency, and long-term care planning. Whether you're facing the challenges of the “sandwich generation” or approaching retirement, we’re here to provide thoughtful, fee-only advice designed to support your life—not just your portfolio.

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?
