04 / How we work together
Scope and timing are agreed with you in writing before work begins.
Step 01
A confidential conversation about what you hold, what concerns you and what you want next.
Step 02
I review documents, model scenarios and write clear recommendations sized to your goals and risk capacity.
Step 03
Introductions, documentation and coordination with your lawyers, tax and banking partners.
Step 04
Regular reviews and life-event check-ins so the plan stays current, not on a shelf.
05 / How I am paid
Three ways an engagement can be structured, so you always know what you are paying for.
Ongoing
A fixed, agreed fee for ongoing independent advice.
Defined scope
A fixed fee for a defined piece of work, such as a diligence review or portfolio assessment.
Fundraising
For fundraising mandates, with clearly stated terms and no hidden costs.
Independence: any financial interest I or ATGICS may have in a recommendation is disclosed in writing before you decide.
Start with a conversation. We will work out together whether and how I can help.
