Verify adviser credentials: SEC Investment Adviser Public Disclosure (IAPD) ↗

Accountants, Lawyers and professional service providers: thank you for your referral. This page is dedicated to bridging the relationship.

A professional you work with thought we should talk.

I'm JoAnna Cohen, an environmental engineer with 12 years at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, now a fiduciary investment adviser. I model scenarios and stress-test assumptions to build plans that hold up when life gets complicated, then coordinate with the CPAs and attorneys my clients already trust.

A conversation first. No obligation.

  1. You reach out

    Book a time that works for you, or send the message form below. Either one is fine.

  2. We talk for 30 minutes

    It's free, with no obligation: a real conversation about where you are and where you want to go.

  3. Your referrer stays in the loop, if you say so

    I only keep the professional who introduced us informed about your situation if you agree to it.

The person who referred you isn't paid for it. No referral fees are paid or accepted.

Who handles what

Your accountant and attorney keep doing what they do for you. I add the planning around it and work alongside them rather than replace them.

What I help with

  • Retirement, 401(k) rollovers and investment management
  • Roth conversion and withdrawal modeling, built on your tax projections
  • Trust funding: retitling accounts and updating beneficiaries
  • Special needs trust planning that protects SSI and Medicaid benefits

What stays with your CPA and attorney

  • Tax preparation, filing and tax opinions
  • Legal advice and document drafting
  • Wills, trusts and entity documents
  • IRS notices, audits and disputes

Built in four phases

Every sound structure starts with a blueprint. Each step is explained, so you always know why we're doing what we're doing.

  1. Discovery

    Your full picture: income, expenses, debts, employer benefits, insurance gaps, goals and risk tolerance.

  2. Blueprint

    I model scenarios and stress-test assumptions, then design a strategy around your specific goals.

  3. Implementation

    We put the plan in place: the right accounts and coverage, your benefits, and how your assets are positioned.

  4. Monitor & adapt

    Life, markets and tax law change, so the plan is reviewed and adjusted with clear communication.
