At Investment design we have a team approach. As a client of our firm you get the benefit of working with multiple advisors, the benefit of years of experience and specialization for things like divorce settlements, retirement planning and asset management. Both Max and Mary hold their Accredited Investment Fiduciary designations and our work is steeped in the idea that process and outcomes are better when the focus is the client
Mary has a background and passion helping single women gain financial independence. Retirement planning can be a burden, especially when life changes and divorce or a loved one unexpectedly passes away. Women helping women is an important part of the culture of our firm, one we are cognizant of when we sit down with perspective clients.
Max enjoys working with business owners to maximize cashflow, decrease taxable income and accelerate retirement planning. Understanding what is possible as a business owner is incredibly important and can re-define what retirement looks like. Education is a focus in the planning process here. Cash flow planning, pretax retirement dollars and defined outcomes is where our time is spent. Making sure you understand the difference between what you are doing now and what’s possible.
Our process is transparent and collaborative. We enjoy serving clients together, we love what we do and look forward to sharing that passion during our first meeting together.
