Financial Planning Done Differently

RULES I LIVE BY:

Know your numbers, but trust your gut.
Don't leave money on the table (to taxes, fees, or anything that doesn't bring you joy)
Like a business plan, a personal financial plan will never be 'correct'. Have one anyway.
Life is short. Don't wait on your dreams.
Simplicity brings clarity, which brings results.

DIGGING DEEP

In the very beginning of our process, an entire meeting is dedicated to getting to know you and helping you identify your core values and vision.

In order to know which direction to take, we first need to know where we’re going. And that is entirely up to you.

FAIR FEES

Because our financial planning fees are based on your unique needs (not how much money you have) I'm able to work with you regardless of whether we manage your money directly or not.

I put in the same amount of work, and provide the same amount of value, for each and every client–regardless of the number on their bank statements.

I'm Julia Colantuono,

and I'm on a mission to make sure you don't let finances get in the way of living life to the fullest.

About Me

I live in Hingham, MA with my wonderful husband Nick (who also happens to be a CFP^®), and two adorable children, Laura and Jordan. Financial decisions are rarely black and white. We’ve had to be proactive about getting on the same page financially, which has required several hard conversations and compromises (and has also paid off immensely).

We always come back to our mission of being intentional with our money, and putting the right systems in place to support what matters most to us.

I’m a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, Accredited Portfolio Management Advisor™, and the Founder of One Financial Design.

After working in wealth management for over a decade at some of the most respected financial institutions (JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, and Ameriprise Financial), I noticed the traditional financial advisor’s business model was not designed to give people the financial planning solutions they really need. So I opened my own business so that I could do it my way!

FUN FACTS

I’m a classic introvert (my favorite activity is reading in a cozy coffee shop).
My happy place is Edgartown, Martha’s Vineyard (or any part of the Cape & Islands).
I was homeschooled and grew up on a rural farm.
My favorite books are Rich Dad, Poor Dad, and Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.
I meditate and journal almost daily.
My love language is gift giving (I will find any excuse to put together a fun gift box for someone!)
I'm a very spiritual person and believe in the divine magic of the universe.
My biggest financial inspiration is my “Pappou” (Greek grandfather), who taught me by example what it means to live the American Dream.

Whether you’re looking for a long-term financial partner or just want to be pointed in the right direction, I can help.
