Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do you have a minimum account size?

    We have a flexible minimum, so we always encourage people to schedule a 30-minute call. While we make a limited number of exceptions each calendar quarter, our client minimum is currently around $500,000 of investment assets; however, there are a number of variables that can affect how we look at this number, including age and financial trajectory, scope of work involved, businesses and other illiquid assets on which we are consulting, and how much fun we’re going to have working together.

    Are you Fee Only/Are you a Fiduciary?

    Yes and yes. At the same time, we believe that there is much more to selecting the right advisor that the two “F” words. In fact, they are mostly just marketing hype from a group within the financial industry. Being fee only, doesn’t eliminate conflicts of interest, it simply looks different from a commission model. Objectively, there are circumstances in which a commission is better. Being a Fiduciary only means that there are more stringent legal standards, but those only affect a person if there is a breach worth pursuing in court. We recommend evaluating fit from a neutral perspective, considering ethics, relational fit, professional qualifications, business model, etc.

    Can you help me with my business and personal business needs?

    Yes. Many of our clients are business owners, and we love engaging their personal and businesses together. While most Financial Advisors are employees or independent contractors of large corporations, Matt and Christa actually own CoCreate Financial and started it from scratch, giving them unique insight into the needs and experiences of business owners.

  • Do you file taxes?

    We love helping solve tax puzzles, but we aren’t CPAs or Enrolled Agents, so we don’t file taxes on behalf of our clients. We lean heavily on our client's CPAs and attorneys for tax advice and have an incredible network to which we can refer. Oftentimes, we are able to spend a considerable amount of time working through the problem and preparing you to have an efficient and effective conversation with your other professionals.

Donating Appreciated Assets
Heather Brown
No Comments

One of the most tax-efficient ways to give is by donating appreciated assets, like stocks or real estate. When you donate assets that have increased in value since you purchased them, you avoid paying capital gains tax on the appreciation.   On top of this, if you itemize deductions, you can claim the asset’s full fair […]

Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)
Heather Brown
No Comments

If you’re 70 ½ or older, qualified charitable distributions (QCDs) can be a great way to give directly from an IRA or an Inherited IRA. A QCD allows you to transfer funds from your IRA to a qualifying charity, satisfying your required minimum distribution (RMD) without adding to your taxable income. Since QCDs do not […]

Donor-advised funds (DAFs) can also provide flexibility for those looking to make a long-term charitable impact.
