A Baltimore Win: From Guesswork to Growth

Let’s talk about Renee, a Baltimore-based freelance designer with a growing income—but zero plan.



She was contributing to a 401(k) through a side job, had a traditional IRA with no strategy behind it, and wanted to start saving for a down payment on a home in Charles Village.

Here’s what we did:

  • Consolidated her accounts and simplified her portfolio
  • Set up a monthly savings structure for short- and long-term goals
  • Created an SEP IRA to maximize her business deductions
  • Tied everything together with a smart tax advisory strategy to lower her annual tax bill


Now, Renee has visibility, momentum, and peace of mind. She’s on track to buy her home next year—and for the first time, feels confident saying, “I’ve got a real plan.”

“I used to hope I was doing the right thing. Now I know I am.”
