Planning designed for you.

Pope Wealth Planning offers a customized plan for every client we advise. “Financial Plan” can mean a lot of things but we visualize planning like working with an architect to design a blueprint for your financial dream-life. Together, we’ll go beyond just “how-to” and think critically about deeper questions…

“What is my why?” (why move? buy a house? retire early? etc.)

“What does succeeding in my goal(s) really look like?”

“How will failure/success ultimately feel?”

“Honestly, what needs to change?”

PWP Clients often share in common…

  • NYC, Westchester, Fairfield, etc.

  • $400k+ Household Income

  • Own/operate a small business

  • Columbia or CUMC affiliation
