Who Joshua works with

Built for senior leaders in transition

Built For
  • O-5 to O-6, E-8/E-9, and CW3 to CW5 within 60 months of retirement or the first 36 months after.
  • $500K+ investable assets (TSP / 401(k) / brokerage), or complex compensation and benefits decisions.
  • A preference to coordinate with your CPA, attorney, and HR, and to delegate where it helps.
Not a Fit
  • One-off product transactions or commission-driven sales.
  • Performance chasing or trying to beat a benchmark.
  • “Set and forget” with no planning or coordination.

We also work with other actively serving members, veterans, and military families when their planning needs and the firm’s capabilities are a strong fit.

If you want a structured, fiduciary decision process, you’re in the right place.
