Townsend Financial

Townsend Financial’s typical clients are successful, high income/high net worth individuals with a complex financial life. They don’t have the time to manage their finances. They want to make the best use of their financial resources to have the life they want - today and tomorrow. If this sounds like you, here’s how we can help: BUSINESS OWNERS share similar concerns: *How much do I set aside for taxes? *How much should I pay myself? *My cash flow is uneven, how do I make my business and personal life feel stable? *How do I effectively use my business profits for a rewarding life / business scenario? *Should I delegate by hiring others? *Which operating costs make sense to keep – and which to cut? *What kind of retirement accounts should I have? *What benefits should I offer my employees? *And how do all my business decisions impact my tax planning and financial goals? We work together to answer your questions and set you up for success. HNW INDIVIDUALS share the complex concerns of making the right moves with the resources they have: *What is a smart distribution strategy? *How much can I take a year? *Do my investments align with my goals? *Am I saving as much in taxes as I can? *Do I have the right insurance? We'll create a sustainable plan for true financial freedom. BIO: I’m physically located in sunny Scottsdale, Arizona, but I work virtually with clients all around the country. Beyond my fondness of numbers, I love yoga, cooking, wine, travel, fast cars and a never-ending plate of peanut butter pancakes (I literally eat them every single night!)
