ProsperPlan Wealth is a fee-only fiduciary advisory firm.
Our role is simple: to help you
live well while your financial life works
quietly and efficiently behind the scenes.
At ProsperPlan Wealth, we help successful individuals and families bring every part of their financial life into alignment. Our private wealth management services provide the type of family-office style guidance traditionally reserved for ultra-wealthy households, thoughtfully adapted for accomplished professionals, business owners, and families who want coordinated financial strategy without institutional complexity.
“When someone reaches a certain level of success, their financial life often becomes more complex than they expected. Our role is to bring clarity and coordination to every moving part so clients can focus on living their lives, not managing financial logistics.”
When wealth becomes more complex.
Many of our clients reach out during moments when financial success begins creating new decisions. These moments can include:
- Preparing to sell a business
- Managing equity compensation or concentrated stock
- Coordinating multiple advisors and financial accounts
- Receiving an inheritance or financial windfall
- Approaching retirement with significant assets
- Thinking about legacy planning for children or future generations
While these transitions are exciting, they often introduce financial complexity that benefits from experienced, coordinated guidance.
That is where thoughtful private wealth management can make a meaningful difference.
Who we typically serve.
While every client relationship is unique, many of the individuals and families we serve share similar financial milestones and opportunities. Our private wealth clients include:

What Clients Say About Us
We have been with Lauren and her team for 10 years. Lauren has helped guide us in our FIRE/financial planning that allowed us to retire in our early 50’s from Kaiser Permanente. She went above and beyond by managing our KP index funds while we were still employed and assisted us in transferring our assets to Prosper Plan after we retired. This enabled us to diversify and maximize our gains. Lauren has also been instrumental in helping with our relocation planning now that we’re retired. We have given Lauren’s contact information to so many of our friends because we trust her with our financial lives.
