Consultations

To make intelligent decisions when planning for college, you need specialized knowledge in college admissions, financial aid, taxes, investing, and financial planning. Even if you have people advising you in these areas, it is difficult to pull that expertise together. Our consultations bring together all of our expertise in these areas to help you.

2. Reduce the overall cost of college through financial aid and tax savings
3. Know that you are making the best use of your family’s financial resources

Troy’s advice has meant thousands in savings each year. Even as our situation has changed we’ve known exactly what to do to qualify for the most aid, save on taxes and pay for college without sacrificing our retirement savings.
