When to Think of Michelle Francis,
Financial Advisor 

If you know someone who has ever said something like:

• "I keep ignoring my finances because I get overwhelmed just thinking about it."

• "I want to slow down or retire soon but have no idea when I can do that or how to prepare."

• "My partner always took care of our finances. Now that I’m on my own, I don’t know what I should do."

• “My small business needs to offer employees access to a retirement plan. Who can help me figure that out?”

​

They might benefit from working with a financial advisor like me. I'm different because I start by identifying the “why” behind my clients’ money before diving into money-related topics like income, cash flow, taxes, investments and retirement. I can with clients in person or virtually across the U.S. 

​

Working with a financial advisor can help someone:  

• Increase their confidence when making financial decisions.

• Talk through emotionally difficult life changes that affect money, like divorce or death.

• Find a balance between growing their business and taking care of their personal finances.

• Anticipate and prepare for life transitions like marriage, a new job, a career downsize or retirement.

​

Who is my ideal client?

I specialize in working with independent women and couples who are mid- to late-career working in a corporate leadership role or own a small- to mid-sized business. They're willing to talk openly about their life and money, want help making financial decisions and are ready to take action with their finances.

​

How am I compensated?

I charge a flat fee for comprehensive financial planning, an hourly fee for financial advice and an asset-based fee for investment management and employer retirement plans, instead of earning commissions from selling products. I’m independent, so am not affiliated with a brokerage firm, bank or insurance company.
