Nectarine Financial
Advice-Only + Fee-Only

Financial planning
for the rest of us.

No commissions. No asset minimums. No hidden agendas. Just independent, flat-fee advice from a planner who works solely for you.

The traditional advice model has a cost and conflict problem.

Commissions and kickbacks on insurance, annuities, and mutual funds.

Percentage-of-assets fees that add up fast and take more as you save more.

Asset minimums that shut out everyday people that still need help.

Ongoing commitments that often cost $10,000+ per year even with many flat fee advisors.

Giving up control of your investments just to get financial advice.

The advice-only alternative.

No products, commissions, or sales incentives.

Flat fees that don't grow as your wealth grows.

No asset minimums or account minimums.

One-time advice with no ongoing commitment required.

You keep your accounts, your investments, and the final say.

Who I work with

Four groups I spend most of my time with, all virtually, anywhere in the US.

1

FIRE Enthusiasts

Pressure-test your number, your savings rate, and your withdrawal strategy. Confirm the plan actually works before you hand in your notice.

2

The Messy Middle

Millennials, Gen Z, and Gen X juggling a first house, growing kids, college savings, a job change or career transition, and a DIY portfolio.

3

Pre-Retirees

The years right before you stop working: when you can retire, how much you can safely spend, Social Security timing, healthcare considerations, and keeping lifetime taxes manageable.

4

Retirees

Living off what you built. Retirement income, withdrawal order, Roth conversions, Medicare decisions, and keeping lifetime taxes as low as possible.

★★★★★

"I am so glad I came across Nectarine and Adam. I was pretty anxious and generally feel easily overwhelmed and intimidated by finance, but Adam was very clear and helped me focus on how to reach my financial goals."

"Adam is a standout, exceptional person, first and foremost. He took the time to really understand my situation, worked through different scenarios, and provided practical advice I could implement immediately."

Alexa R.
★★★★★

"My husband and I just met with Adam for the second time to help us strategize for an early retirement. He asks the right questions and brings tremendous clarity and peace of mind. His thorough summary with action items makes it easy to track what we need to do."

Maria S.
★★★★★

"We had done The Plan last year and were so glad we invested the time. Our recent Hour follow-up was just as valuable. Adam addressed our new questions, gave insightful portfolio recommendations, and sent another detailed checklist to keep us on track for early retirement."

Ronee O.
★★★★★

"We had an excellent experience. We were looking for objective, flat-fee advice and Adam exceeded our expectations. He explained the reasoning behind each recommendation, helping us understand tax planning, retirement strategies, diversification, and early retirement planning."

Sarah P.
★★★★★

"This is now my third meeting with Adam. Each time we refine short- and long-term goals, covering Roth conversions, 401(k) contributions, brokerage contributions, real estate, and 529 plans. Every conversation ends with clear to-dos. It has completely changed my view of early retirement, which I previously thought was not possible."

★★★★★

"If you feel like you know 'enough to be dangerous' but lack a cohesive strategy, Adam is your guy. We finished The Plan recently and the peace of mind is worth every penny. We now have a real strategy and a much deeper understanding of our financial future."

Kyle G.
★★★★★

"Adam is awesome! I've met with him several times and each time I walk away with more confidence about my finances. I can ask any question without judgement. He maps out different scenarios, provides thorough notes, and I always know exactly what to work on next."
