Remarkably personal financial planning in Houston.

At Holistic Planning, we view financial advice through a more integrated lens. We unite your investments, tax strategies, and estate planning under one umbrella—so you don’t have to juggle multiple advisors or worry about gaps in your plan.

We’re a Texas firm through and through. We understand the heart and hard work that defines this state—and we bring that same spirit to every client relationship in Houston.

No matter what level of guidance you’re looking for or where you are in life, our team is here to walk the path with you.

 

 

 

Our guidance goes beyond the numbers. Whether it’s helping you prepare for retirement, aligning your finances with your values, or planning for the next generation, our team brings experience and steady perspective to every decision.

Here, you won’t be handed off to someone new every few months. You’ll get to know your advisors, and they’ll get to know you. Because we believe the best financial planning starts with a strong relationship.

How We Help

What we can help with.

Retirement Planning

We want your last day of work to be as exciting as your first. Our holistic approach to financial planning and money management will help you enter the next phase of your life with confidence. Whether you are just starting your career or about to call it quits, let us help guide you on your unique path to retirement and beyond.

Estate & Trust Planning

You have ideas of what you want your money to do and the legacy you want to pass along, but creating the documents necessary to ensure that is uncomfortable and inconvenient. We leverage third-party software to deliver a streamlined experience, helping you maximize your impact now and well into the future.

Insurance & Risk Management

No amount of planning can protect you from all the uncertainties of life but insurance is useful in protecting against worst-case scenarios. Of course, you hope to never need it, but you’ll be glad you have it if you ever do. We’re not insurance salesmen and don’t earn a commission, so we’ll never put our interest ahead of yours.

Business Retirement Planning

We know that your business is an extension of yourself and an integral part of your goals. We provide unique perspectives on both your business and how those decisions impact your wealth. We offer a variety of tax-advantaged, small-business plans and strategies for business owners, and their employees.

Investment Management

Our investment philosophy is simple: Markets are efficient and you can’t time the market. We believe in balancing long-term growth with enough short-term stability so you can weather all market conditions.

Tax Strategy & Filing

We believe in helping our clients pay less in taxes and keep more of their hard-earned money. Our philosophy is to focus on keeping your lifetime tax bill as low as possible, not just scoring small wins in any single year. Your biggest expense in life is taxes, so why give the IRS a tip?

Charitable Giving

There are many ways to give, whether that’s through your time, knowledge, or assets. What matters most is that you are supporting causes and organizations that align with your values. We will help put you in a position to maximize your impact by ensuring you have a tax-optimized charitable giving strategy. Less money to the IRS means more money to charity.

Financial Behavior Coaching

Holistic Planning goes beyond numbers by integrating Financial Behavior Coaching, helping clients navigate the emotional and psychological aspects of wealth management. Through guided conversations and data-driven insights, we empower clients to make confident, rational financial decisions—minimizing emotional biases, avoiding common pitfalls, and staying committed to long-term goals. By aligning investment behaviors with personal values and financial objectives, we ensure a disciplined approach that leads to sustained financial well-being.
