A clear-eyed look at where money is coming in, where it's going out, and what “enough” actually looks like for you. We help you build a spending framework that fits your life. Not a restrictive budget, but a set of guardrails that free you up to make real decisions with confidence. For business owners, we hold personal and business cash flow as one system through our sister practice, Talbott Bookkeeping.
Our approach: Cash flow modelling · Spending framework · Business + personal integration · Emergency fund strategy · Debt paydown planning
Start hereThe planning that protects the people you love and funds the life you want to build for them: insurance strategy, estate documents, education planning, home purchase, and the long-term math of raising a family. We coordinate with attorneys and insurance providers so the paperwork translates what you actually care about, not just standard boilerplate for people who look like you on paper.
Our approach: Life, disability & liability coverage · Wills, trusts & powers of attorney · Beneficiary review · College savings · Home purchase planning · Family cash reserve
Start hereThe planning that supports a real inflection point: leaving a corporate role, starting a business, taking a sabbatical, negotiating a package, or moving somewhere new. We model the runway, structure the tax picture, coordinate benefits transitions, and figure out what “enough to leap” actually looks like for you and your family.
Our approach: Runway modelling · Tax strategy across the transition · Benefits & COBRA planning · Business formation · Compensation & equity analysis · Cash reserve build-out
Start hereRetirement planning that starts with the life you want, not the number the industry hands you. We work backwards from what “enough” looks like. The house, the freedom, the family, the second act and then build the timeline, the account strategy, and the withdrawal approach that get you there. Investments matter, but they're rarely the lever that changes when you can actually step back.
Our approach: Retirement modelling · Withdrawal strategy · Social Security optimisation · Tax-efficient distribution · Healthcare & Medicare planning · Legacy & estate coordination

Most planners ask you to send over a P&L and take it at face value. We read financials for a living, so the plan is built on what your business actually does, not on what a statement summarizes.
Your owner draw, your retirement plan, your entity structure, and your household cash flow are all one decision, not four. We plan them that way instead of handing you off between three professionals who never speak.
We charge a flat annual fee, agreed upfront. We don't take a cut of your portfolio — so we work with you whether your wealth sits in accounts, in a business, or is still being built.
The industry's minimums exist to screen out people whose net worth is tied up in the thing they built. That's most business owners. It's who we're for.
No products, no referral fees, no third party paying us to say a particular thing. Our only revenue is your fee, which means our only incentive is your outcome.
Portfolio construction is a solved problem and a small part of the work. The harder questions - when you can step back, what the business owes you, what you're actually building toward - are the ones we spend time on.
Entity choice, retirement plan design, and how you pay yourself are planning decisions with tax consequences all year. We make them in the plan, not in a scramble at filing.
Business owners' finances can often be messy. Commingled accounts, deferred draws, a year that went sideways. You'll never get a lecture here. You'll get a starting point.
Throughline is run by a business owner, not by someone who's only read about it. The cash flow anxiety, the hiring math, the month a client pays late. That’s a shared experience, not a case study.
We're not optimizing a quarter. We're building something you can run for twenty years and hand off, sell, or wind down on your own terms.
