Our step-by-step process
We guide you through an open, collaborative workflow—starting from understanding what matters to you, through building your zero-based allocation, and reviewing progress for continued adjustment. Each step is explained in plain language so you never feel lost or pressured.
Discovery Call and Values Discussion
We begin by learning about your background, needs, and what matters most to you—ensuring your voice shapes every decision.
During this first step, we’ll have a conversation designed to draw out your current priorities and understand any challenges. No financial background is required—just honesty and a willingness to explore what’s possible. This phase sets the stage for a collaborative relationship.
Collaborative Budget Creation
Together, we structure your zero-based budget to reflect your present goals and lifestyle.
This process is completely tailored. We’ll allocate resources down to the last dollar, making sure every choice is deliberate and based on your true priorities. Our support remains jargon-free and judgment-free so you feel comfortable throughout.
Midpoint Review & Adjustments
We check in midway to see how your plan fits real-life events and make any necessary changes.
Life doesn’t follow a script, so we revisit and adjust allocations as your circumstances evolve. This ensures your choices stay aligned with your intentions and respond to any surprises that arise.
Ongoing Support and Communication
Support continues after your plan is built with regular check-ins and open communication.
Our relationship doesn’t end after the budget is complete. We’re here for continued guidance, providing clarity and encouragement as you work with your zero-based allocation over time.
