Hi there! I’m Scott, and I help young professionals build wealth wisely while still enjoying their life and their lattes. No, you do not need to give up your $7 coffee drink to be able to retire! In my work with clients, I help answer the following questions (and more): • How much do I need to save to be financially independent (ie, retired)? • Do I have the right investments? • How do I prioritize all the financial things I have going on? • What should I select for my 401K investments? • What do I need to do to create a proper Estate Plan? • Am I taking full advantage of my employee benefits? • Is there anything I can do to lower my taxes, now or in the future? • Will my family be okay if something terrible happens to me? • Is my emergency fund adequate? • Is my spending aligned with my goals? You can read more about my services here: https://forthrightfinances.com/wealth-builder/ One last, quick note: Unlike 99% of financial advisory firms, I do not have account minimums, nor do I charge so much that you need to have a 6 figure income to afford my fee. My services are intentionally designed so that anyone, regardless of their assets or income, can get honest, straightforward, and comprehensive financial advice. Even if you're starting with $0.

I’m a flat fee-only fiduciary who blends financial planning and tax expertise into one streamlined, all-in-one system that supports every part of your financial life. I handle the implementation and maintenance of your plan so you’re not left doing the heavy lifting—and because I don’t sell anything, the advice is always completely unbiased. Clients come to me with any question, big or small, knowing I’ll meet them where they are, explain things clearly, and offer practical, judgment-free guidance. And when couples need clarity or alignment, I help translate complex choices into simple, realistic terms so decisions feel shared, intentional, and confident.
