Stewardship is important to my clients and me. Stewardship is the idea that the money we have, the time we're given, and the gifts and experiences we have should be managed well so that we can be all that we can be - to make the world a better place for us and those around us. My goal is to help free up my client's time spent on figuring out the tax code, investments and retirement income planning so that they can focus on being a good steward of two more important resources - their time and gifts/experiences. As a financial stewardship partner, I help my clients pay less in taxes, invest wisely, and develop and follow a plan so they won't outlive their retirement income. I’ve always had a passion for helping people with their personal finances. As an accountant, I was approached frequently by people with tax or personal finance questions. I found that helping these people was something I loved. Ultimately, this love for helping people with their personal finance questions is what led me to a career as a tax-focused, comprehensive personal financial planner. My greatest joy is spending time with my wife, Michelle, and five kids; Jack, Kate, Elijah, Clayton, and Annalise. I also enjoy mountain biking, snowboarding, and running in the beautiful Colorado outdoors. I grew up in New Zealand, where I developed my passion for being outdoors.

I love financial planning. I have been in the business since 2007. I started as an apprentice at a large broker/dealer. They extended an offer for me to continue as an advisor with them at the end of my apprenticeship. I had no idea what I was doing at the time, but moved forward. I learned a lot the hard way starting out in the business. I was not a stellar sales person, but I also learned that I loved working with clients, and helping them to get on track to meet their retirement goals. This early career phase taught me that I really value relationships, and helping clients, not so much the sales stuff... Over time I refined a clear way that I wanted to work with clients. I found that working for a corporation would not fit the more customized, educational, and holistic approach that I wanted for my clients. In 2020 I opened my own RIA practice and am pleased to be able to always do what is best and unique for each client. In 2023 I was able to become a CFP®. I am proud of what I have created, and look forward to the future. Opening my business right as COVID set in also taught me some new things. More people need financial planning! They need to know that it is for everyone. I can help you no matter what your financial circumstances are. I live in Colorado with my husband and 3 children. I am a very stereotypical Coloradan. I love the outdoors and all outdoor activities. If you want to hike while we have meetings let's do it!

Inclinevest®, led by Gabriel Motta, CFP® MBA, is a fee-only, fiduciary financial planning and wealth management firm serving clients age 50 and older with $1 million or more in investable assets. We work with clients age 50 and older to build comprehensive retirement income plans that address this complexity directly. That means evaluating Roth conversion opportunities, coordinating account drawdown sequencing, planning around required minimum distributions, and stress-testing scenarios. We specialize in three areas where financial complexity tends to be highest. Cross-border and expat planning for Americans retiring or relocating abroad. Sudden money situations including inheritance, insurance payouts, and legal settlements where the stakes of getting it right are significant. And individuals over 50 with complicated financial lives who need a comprehensive plan that accounts for all of it. Across all of these situations the goal is the same. Bring clarity to your financial life, retire with confidence, and make smart decisions with what you've built. Gabe founded Inclinevest® in 2018 to provide the kind of transparent, objective advice he would want for his own family. Prior to founding the firm, he held executive and leadership roles at BBVA and U.S. Bank, and later served as a Wealth Planning Analyst at UBS in Colorado, supporting high-net-worth clients with complex financial planning and investing needs.
