The 4-Week Structure

How coaching works.

Four focused weeks, designed to leave you with a system you can run yourself, long after we’re done.

  1. Week 1

    Diagnose

    We map your accounts, income, fixed costs, and tax exposure. You leave with clarity.

  2. Week 2

    Design

    We design your Lifestyle Line, savings buckets, and tax flow, built around your life.

  3. Week 3

    Deploy

    We set it all up live in Stack App and your real accounts together. No homework guesswork.

  4. Week 4

    Defend

    We pressure-test it against your real next month, plus a 90-day forward plan.

What you walk away with

A complete personal financial system.

  • A custom Lifestyle Line you actually trust
  • A tax set-aside system that runs on autopilot
  • Savings buckets matched to your goals
  • Stack App fully configured to your accounts
  • A 90-day forward plan you can execute solo
  • Direct access to James for follow-up questions
