James Wallace, CFP RICP We help our clients live the life they want, and positively effect generations of those they love. A financial plan improves your quality of life.

“Without counsel, plans go awry, but in the multitude of counselors they are established.” Proverbs 15:22

WHO WE ARE

Our team collaborates with people who care about others and want to make a difference in their lives. Our mission is to help our clients live the life they want, and have a positive effect on generations of those they c

are about. We believe that a financial plan does more than make big numbers on a computer screen. If our work is going to improve your quality of life, then we have to start by getting to know you. Our first focus is understanding who you love, how you want to care for them, and the life you want to live. Our clients often tell us that the planning we do for their family gives them the peace of mind and confidence they need to focus their time and energy on the people and causes that matter most to them. We serve clients from a range of backgrounds and life stages, both in and beyond the Greater Houston area. We find our work has the greatest value to folks nearing retirement who want a clear income plan, and established business owners who are ready to plan for the long-term success of their entrepreneurial endeavors. While no two of our clients are alike, they do all share a commitment to the planning process and a desire to make a difference in the lives of others. It’s easy for us to get excited about helping people who share our heart for helping others. Whether you’re trying to make a difference in your family, your community, or the world, our team will be a resource to help those desires become a reality. WHO WE SERVE

Our team focuses on serving families that are nearing retirement, are recently retired, and/or own their own business. Often, when we meet with someone who is gearing up for retirement, we find they have had a great investment strategy, they own some insurance, maybe they have even had a great relationship with an investment advisor, but they have a lot of unanswered questions. What do I do if taxes go up? How will I create income when the stock market is down? How does the value I have built in my business translate to a reliable retirement income? How do I pass this business on to my kids, grandkids, or trusted employees? How do I leave a legacy behind that doesn't ruin my kids and grandkids? You don't have to have unanswered questions like these about your financial future. Our team is here to help you achieve the peace of mind and confidence you need to work out a plan that provides for the people you care about, while still allowing you to live the life you want. HOW WE SERVE

Our Planning Experience starts with getting to know you. We don't make any recommendations until we have taken the time to understand who you love, how you want to care for them, the life you want to live, and run a comprehensive plan analysis to show us how your current strategies align with these priorities. We take our ongoing commitment to regularly check in and review the plan very seriously, because we value the deep relationships we get to have with our clients, their families, and generations to come.

Here is a shoutout to our team. It doesn't matter what work you do, if you are surrounded by good people, it makes a BIG difference. We are blessed to have work that is fulfilling, and a great group of people to do it with. Thank you to everyone on our excellent team!

Clients, if you ever think about it, shoot a thank you to someone on our team. As the 'strategy and relationship' guy, I hear a lot of the positive feedback you have to give. The folks on our team that are more behind the scenes don't always get to hear that encouragement, but they deserve it just as much if not more.

A rising tide of optimism had been gathering in the equity markets as Iran announced last week that the Strait of Hormuz had been reopened for business.

Less than 24 hours later, however, Iran reclosed the strait. Oil prices have risen as a result, further fueling economic uncertainty amid a complex tug-of-war between resilient employment and rate-sensitive slowdowns.
