About us

A firm built around one conversation.

At Modern Advice, we believe tax planning and financial planning should never exist in separate conversations. Our team works together to create strategies that help clients build wealth, reduce unnecessary taxes, and make confident financial decisions at every stage of life and business.

We specialize in working with veterinarians, business owners, real estate professionals, and families, providing personalized guidance that's proactive. Whether you're growing a practice, expanding a business, preparing for retirement, or simply looking for smarter tax strategies, every recommendation is made with your complete financial picture in mind.

Our philosophy is simple: education comes first. Before we ask anyone to become a client, we want them to understand why a strategy makes sense, how it works, and the long-term impact it can have. We believe informed clients make better decisions, and those decisions create stronger financial futures.

Contribution planning, Roth conversions, and tax-efficient withdrawal sequencing across your retirement accounts.
