Client Journey

Your Brave New Beginning

A step-by-step journey, designed for your life.

Whether you’re navigating equity comp, making big decisions, or designing your next chapter, our process helps align your wealth with what matters most.

At Brave New Wealth, we don’t start with forms — we start with you. This is your personalized path to clarity, strategy, and meaningful action.

As your story unfolds, we begin shaping the structure—aligning your assets, planning tools, and priorities into one integrated strategy.

  • Serene sunset over a calm lake with hills in the background, reflecting vibrant orange and pink hues in the sky and water, grassy foreground.

    STEP 1: Discovery

    We begin with curiosity, not checklists. You’ll share your story, goals, values, and what feels most urgent or meaningful. Our job is to listen deeply, reflect back insight, and begin crafting a path that’s uniquely yours.

    What to expect: 2-3 thoughtful conversations (about 4 hours) where your authentic voice guides our exploration.

  • Sunrise over misty mountains with a valley in the foreground, casting a warm, golden light.

    STEP 2: Clarify + Explore

    This is where we begin mapping your financial structure—understanding what’s most urgent, and identifying the key components (assets, income, accounts, trusts, or benefits) that will form the foundation of your plan.

    • Cash flow + compensation review

    • Organize your financial picture — accounts, documents, and details

    • Begin identifying your financial priorities

    What to expect: 1-2 focused meetings (about 2-3 hours) where we organize your financial landscape and set priorities.

  • Modern cabin in grassy mountainous landscape during sunset.

    STEP 3: Design Your Wealth Life

    Your plan isn’t pulled from a template—it’s intentionally designed to support the life you want to lead, with a durable financial structure that aligns each piece with purpose and timing. Together, we align your values, life season, and future vision to craft a cohesive structure:

    • Total wealth planning: strategies mapped to your goals

    • Investment, tax, and estate design recommendations

    • A visual, working draft of your Brave New Plan—structured for clarity, purpose, and durability

    What to expect: Initial presentation plus ongoing collaboration (2-3 hours) where your feedback shapes every element of the plan.

  • A scenic river flowing between rocky cliffs at sunset, with golden hills in the background and a warm orange glow.

    STEP 4: Implement + Align

    From account transfers to trust execution, we coordinate every detail—ensuring your strategy is aligned, your risks are addressed, and your plan moves forward with confidence and calm.

    • Investment setup + transition support

    • Personalized Brave New Wealth dashboard

    • Ongoing review rhythm + support calendar

    What to expect: 30-45 days of coordinated implementation, with regular check-ins as we bring your strategy to life.

  • STEP 5: Reflect + Evolve

    At each milestone, we recalibrate with intention—adjusting your strategy, evolving your structure, and reconnecting with what matters most.

    • 90-day review + feedback

    • Alignment check on goals and priorities

    • New actions + strategies for what’s next

    What to expect: Quarterly meetings (about 1 hour each) where life changes drive financial adaptations, not the other way around.

Investing Philosophy

Investing isn’t just about markets. It’s about meaning.

At Brave New Wealth, we blend timeless investment principles with powerful new tools—creating portfolios that are as personal, adaptive, and intentional as the life you want to live.

  • Your values, your strategy.

    We design portfolios around you—your goals, your values, your life. Rather than relying solely on cookie-cutter models, we personalize your investments through advanced tools that help us reflect what matters most to you, whether it’s climate-focused investing, thematic exposure to innovation, or customized strategies for legacy and liquidity.

  • Dynamic planning built around what matters most.

    We start by understanding your life priorities, then build your investment strategy around them. From education to retirement, philanthropy to lifestyle, we continuously realign your portfolio as life evolves. You’ll always know where you stand, where you’re headed, and how your money is serving you—not the other way around.

  • Tax-aware investing, every day—not just at year-end.

    We regularly monitor your portfolio for tax-loss harvesting, rebalancing, and opportunities to reduce tax drag. Whether it’s managing concentrated stock positions or optimizing across accounts, our systems are designed to help preserve more of your wealth toward your future. We optimize not just your investments, but where they’re held—across accounts, tax structures, and legal entities—aiming to enhance after-tax outcomes and protect long-term outcomes.

  • Investing in change—on your terms.

    We open the door to meaningful opportunities beyond public markets. Whether it’s impact-driven funds, private credit, or sustainable innovation, we help you invest in causes and companies that align with your purpose—while staying grounded in your financial goals.

    *Private investments may involve higher fees, limited liquidity, and different risk profiles than public market investments, and may not be suitable for all investors
