What we actually solve

Most advisors treat equity compensation as an afterthought. We build the plan around it so company stock accelerates your retirement instead of creating concentration risk or surprise taxes.

1

Invest

Personalized portfolios that account for your RSUs, tax situation, and retirement date—not a generic model that ignores the stock you already own.

2

Plan

Coordination of stock options, ESPP, deferred compensation, bonuses, and benefits so more of your compensation turns into spendable wealth.

3

Retire

A written income plan for the lifestyle you want, on the timeline you want, with a clear answer to “can I actually retire earlier?”

A boutique practice, not a product machine

I founded Fairpoint in 2017 after watching sophisticated investors get generic advice at the exact moment their compensation became complicated. The work is selective by design.

You get a fiduciary who is paid only by you, a plan that serves your life instead of a sales quota, and a process that starts with a 20-minute conversation—not a pitch deck.

How the first conversation works

No hard sell. If we are not the right fit, I will say so.

1

20-minute intro call

We cover your goals, equity situation, and timeline. You decide if a deeper look is worth it.

2

Clear analysis

If we continue, you receive a written view of the issues that matter and the next decisions to make.

3

Work together only if it fits

Ongoing planning and investment management, or project/hourly work if that is the better match.
