Planning designed for you.

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

“What is my why?” (why do I want to move? build 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?”

Many PWP clients share a few things in common:

  • Living in NYC, Westchester or the Tristate area.

  • Annual income of $250k+

  • Own/operate a small business.

  • Affiliation with Columbia University.
