Your whole financial life examined, stress-tested, and engineered as one plan.<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

The Financial Master Review is the front door to everything Valentine Financial Consultants does. In one\n coordinated engagement, our team puts every part of your financial life on the table \u2014 tax, business,\n investments, real estate, retirement, insurance, estate documents, debt structure, cash flow, and the goals\n behind them \u2014 and identifies exactly where you\u2019re leaking money, missing protection, paying tax\n unnecessarily, or under-optimized.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Then we redesign each piece so they finally work together: less tax, lower fees, better-protected,\n tax-efficient income, a sharper plan for transfer, and a clearer path to the life you actually want.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n \t\t\t\u201cMost people aren\u2019t under-saved. They\u2019re under-coordinated. The Master Review is how we fix that.\u201d<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\tThe Valentine Standard<\/span>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\tCommon Questions<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t

About the Master Review<\/h2>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n
\n \t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t
Do I have to become a VFC client to do a Master Review?<\/summary>

No. The Master Review is a standalone engagement. Many clients use it as a second opinion on their existing advisors and accountants. If we\u2019re a fit and you choose to engage VFC afterward, the team that built the plan is the team that helps execute it.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t
How long does the review take?<\/summary>

Most Master Reviews are completed in four to six weeks, depending on complexity. Business owners, multi-entity households, and ultra-affluent families typically take longer because there is more to coordinate.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t
What does it cost?<\/summary>

Pricing depends on complexity \u2014 number of entities, asset count, business interests, and depth of work required. We provide a fixed quote after the initial intake so there are no surprises.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t
Do you share my information with other firms?<\/summary>

No. Your information is handled by your VFC team under strict confidentiality. We share documents with your existing professionals only with your written authorization.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t
Is the Master Review only for ultra-affluent families?<\/summary>

No. It\u2019s designed for any business owner, entrepreneur, real estate investor, or household with enough complexity that a coordinated strategy review is worth more than the cost. We\u2019ll tell you honestly during intake whether your situation warrants one.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t
What if I already have an advisor, CPA, and attorney?<\/summary>

That\u2019s common. The Master Review evaluates whether your existing professionals are actually coordinated and whether the strategies they each recommend add up to a single, optimized plan. Often they don\u2019t \u2014 and the review shows you exactly where.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

One review. Your whole picture. A real plan.<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t
