  • Year-round tax strategy

  • Tax-loss harvesting

  • Charitable giving optimization

  • Equity compensation tax planning

  • Tax preparation provided as an additional service


Investment Management

Your investments should reflect your values, time horizon, and risk tolerance—not a generic model. We manage portfolios with a disciplined, evidence-based approach designed to support your life goals.

Who we work with:

We’re a great fit for:

  • Women who are the primary earners in their household

  • Dual-income couples navigating complex tax and cash flow issues

  • Professionals with equity compensation or business income

  • Clients who value simplicity, partnership, and transparency

  • Our clients typically earn more than $400k per year with a net worth of at least $2M


How do the fees work?

At Ballast Point Financial Planning, we believe in transparent, straightforward pricing. We are a fee-only firm, which means we don’t earn commissions or sell products—our only compensation comes directly from our clients, ensuring our advice is always in your best interest.

We offer two primary service models:

  • Comprehensive Planning & Investment Management: Ongoing, full-service support—including financial planning, tax strategy, investment management, and regular reviews—starting at $7,200 per year, scaled based on complexity. To match the timing of the work involved, we charge a one-time onboarding fee.

  • One-Time or Project-Based Planning: For clients who need help with a specific issue—like equity compensation, retirement planning, or a second opinion—we offer flat-fee engagements starting at $350/hr. Hourly projects are offered on a limited basis.

All fees are clearly outlined before any work begins. No surprises. No hidden costs. Just trusted, professional advice—tailored to your life.

If your net worth is less than $1M and you are under 40 years old, ask us about our Wealth Builder package. Fees for this service start between $300-$500/month and are offered on a limited basis.
