Hi there! I’m Scott, and I help people retire comfortably with all the money they need without having to sacrifice their current lifestyle.
There are a number of challenges that retirees face, including:
- The number of pensions going away
- The confusion of Medicare and Social Security
- The threat of rising tax rates
- The growing cost of long term care
- The enormous number of salesmen looking to sell a product instead of offering independent, objective financial advice
If you’ve had any of these concerns, you are in the right place.

HOW WE DIFFER FROM OTHER FEE-ONLY ADVISORS
Unlike most advisors, who charge a percentage of your portfolio with no cap, my firm has a maximum fixed fee that we charge for clients with over $1M. Our maximum flat fee is likely to save you tons of money over time and can reduce conflicts of interest.
Unlike most advisors, who are generalists serving a wide variety of clients, we are true retirement planning experts. Entering, managing & navigating your retirement is complex, and we are a specialist in your corner!
ABOUT SCOTT NEWHOUSE
When I am not serving my clients, I love playing pick-up basketball, watching the USC Trojans football team, reading about American history, and finding new hiking spots.
