BIOGRAPHY:

Life is wealth. Plan to make the best of it.

As a Certified Financial Planner, with over 25 years experience in the financial services industry, Erika works with many time-stressed female professionals and businesswomen.

She is a "deep generalist" with an excellent understanding of the many complexities of financial planning that affect her clients' financial and personal lives. Close relationships are established with other professionals whose expertise can be accessed when needed.

As a Professional Retirement Planner, Erika has additional education in helping her clients to manage the "softer" issues of retirement, such as lifestyle planning, the impact of aging, and other related topics.

As a Financial Divorce Specialist (FDS), Erika has received specialized training in the financial issues of divorce through the Academy of Financial Divorce Specialists. A FDS must also fulfill the continuing education requirements and adhere to the Code of Ethics prescribed through the Academy.

A FDS takes all of the financial issues into consideration and by using a specialized software program, accurately projects the long-term effects of any given proposed divorce settlement. The final result is shown in charts and graphs that can reveal consequences to one spouse, which may lead to quite a different conclusion about what is financially equitable.

Some of the issues addressed by FDS are:
  • how to ensure spousal and/or child support is maintained in the event of death or disability of the paying spouse
  • income tax and estate implications of separation of assets -are the right assets being transferred?
  • equitable, not just equal, division of assets
  • future financial security for the individuals involved
