"When financial matters seem like a 2nd language."

You may be foreign born, raising a young family, or in a woman-led household, where financial matters seem foreign or too complicated to understand. Or, you may have social and economic ties outside the US adding a nuanced dimension to your financial picture.

That's where FWJ Planning comes in. As Founder and Lead Planner, I offer financial advice, either in a comprehensive or hourly engagement.

As a First-generation transplant from across the Atlantic, I'm familiar with cultural flavors that money comes with, having travelled across continents, building a family and a financial base from ground-up, switching careers, states and everything in between - called LIFE! The switch from Corporate Finance to Personal Finance led to FWJ Planning.

Planning is my #Ikigai(A Japanese term for finding meaning and purpose in your profession) - serve households in similar life stages as they grapple with complexities of raising a family away from home or in a primarily lead role in the household.

Tax Planning, Cross-Border Planning, Retirement Planning, College Planning, Buying a Home, Investment Strategies, Cash-flow Planning, Legacy Planning are few of the areas I assist my clients with.

In addition to being a CFP®, I am licensed as an Enrolled Agent one of the only designations conferred by the IRS uniquely qualifying me as a Tax Professional. I am a Certified Student Loan Planner (CSLP) and have advised 100+ borrowers on managing their student loans.

I offer engagements scoped based on specific client needs - as one size doesn't fit all.

My Tax Services are listed at at www.fwjtaxprep.com where I assist individuals and small business owners with their tax-filing obligations and planning considerations.
