Financial planning built for retirement, tax, and business decisions.
Talley Wealth helps retirees, business owners, and high-income households make clearer decisions across retirement, taxes, investments, and long-term strategy.
Near retirement
"You are close enough to retirement that taxes, income, investments, Medicare, Social Security, and estate decisions all start to matter at the same time."
Start hereBusiness owners
"You have profit, tax questions, cash-flow decisions, and personal wealth goals, but no one clearly helping you think through all of it."
Start hereRetirement decisions Income, taxes, investments, Medicare, Social Security, and estate choices modeled together.
Business-owner strategy Tax, cash flow, owner pay, entity, retirement plan, and personal wealth decisions in one conversation.
Plan first The advice starts with your life, not a product or portfolio model.
Founder-led You work directly with David, supported by a prepared team.
Most people reach this point with pieces, not a real plan.
They have investment accounts. A CPA. Maybe an old retirement projection. Estate documents from years ago. A few good decisions made at different times by different people.
The problem is not usually a lack of effort. It is that the moving parts are being handled in separate silos.
That matters most in the two lanes where our work usually has the most leverage: when retirement is close and when a business owner needs tax-aware strategy that connects the business to the family's personal wealth. Other situations can still fit, but those are the core patterns.
Our work runs the other way around. We build the plan first, then let the plan guide the investment allocation, tax strategy, estate coordination, and ongoing decisions.
Most people reach out through one of two doors.
The details are different, but the feeling is familiar: there is enough going on now that a more thoughtful plan would feel useful.

Executives and equity comp
"My compensation is getting more complicated, and I do not have time to figure out every tax and timing decision myself."
Inherited wealth
"I inherited money, and I do not want to make a mistake just because I don't know what to ask."
Busy high earners
"I make good money, but I want someone capable to help keep the important pieces moving."
Keystone turns the questions into a plan.
Most firms start by managing money and hope the rest of the picture works itself out. Keystone runs in the other order. It is a structured six-month engagement where we build the plan first, calibrate investments to it, and weave tax strategy through both. For retirement families, that usually means income, taxes, and investment decisions finally line up. For business owners, it means the business and personal plan stop being treated like separate projects.
Fully refundable at any point during the engagement, for any reason.

CFP®, ChFC®, EA, Founder & Lead Advisor
The thing I see most often is successful people carrying more financial complexity than they want to carry alone. For many, that shows up as retirement getting close. For others, it shows up as a business that is finally profitable enough for tax and strategy questions to matter in a different way.
I built Talley Wealth to do that work differently. Every client works directly with me. The plan, the investments, and the tax strategy sit in one conversation. Stephenee keeps the operational side running so the next steps stay visible, and meetings actually feel prepared rather than improvised.
