Are you in control of your Finances?
Discover your Freedom Assets Retirement Plan
WELCOME!
In a world full of noise, false claims and a lack of accountability, it can be hard to know who to Trust.
This is especially true in Financial Services.
I want to give Professionals and Executives with employee share plans (RSU/Options & ESPP) a choice.
By simplifying the complex and making our relationship your success, I will help you take control of your tax and financial affairs.
I believe Freedom is a choice worth making.
Create your own Freedom.
I have written my first book, Freedom Assets: The Entrepreneur's Roadmap to Financial Freedom. The book provides a step by step roadmap to building a solid financial foundation, the ability to forecast your financial future and become financially free in retirement.
Building on the value in the book, Chris launched a his monthly Employee Share Plan (RSU/Options & ESPP) Eliminate your Tax Pain Lunch Webinar.
Chris now runs these webinars to help professionals and Executives never have another tax surprise from their share schemes.
Chris prides himself on the results he has achieved personally and for his clients and now shares his years of experience, insights and advice in an easy to implement way.

My Approach
But at the core, what I mean is how to create Financial Freedom.
That is, you implement the Financial Assets that generate enough income for you to live your life, pay for expenses, have all the holidays you want and spend time with your friends and family without having to work.

Problems I Solve
1
You don’t plan out your tax each year
You always have a tax surprise at the end of the year. You know it must be because of your ESS or ESPP but that doesn't stop the frustration you feel.
More2
You are not getting a positive return on your money
Because you don't plan your cash flow & investments, you don't put aside or provision money for your future. Therefore, you spend money now rather than invest for the future
More3
You don't know when you can exit Corporate Life
While you enjoy your work, you have no idea how much you will need to retire or scale back your work or when you could do this

It’s no picnic running a business; it is scary and you take risks with no guarantee of return. You work your 100 hours so you do not have to work a 40 hour week.
Does not sound too much fun hey...BUT, you cannot do anything more rewarding than running your own race, being in control of your own destiny and to truly create financial freedom.

Want to create Financial Freedom but have no plan?
There are executives who just seem to have complete clarity over their lives. They have control over where they are headed. They exude confidence in themselves and in every interaction they have with people.
