What is ambitious financial planning? Much of financial planning focuses on what you must sacrifice today in order to retire. It is framed as a life of doing without. Healthcare workers sacrifice so much of themselves everyday mentally, physically, and emotionally. Ambitious financial planning takes the opposite approach. We want to
What is ambitious financial planning? Much of financial planning focuses on what you must sacrifice today in order to retire. It is framed as a life of doing without. Healthcare workers sacrifice so much of themselves everyday mentally, physically, and emotionally. Ambitious financial planning takes the opposite approach. We want to drive for the ambitions you can achieve that fit into that lifelong financial plan. Ambitious financial planning is focused on a life of doing.
Financial plans are not set in stone. They cannot be. There are too many things that can change from your income, ambitions, family dynamics, health, time horizon, etc. We want to be with you to tackle all of those changes. As life happens, we adjust your plan to meet new challenges to keep you on track to reach your ambitions.
Matt is not a finance major. He has not spent the last 20 years selling commissioned products at a broker-dealer. His degrees are in nursing. He has spent most of his adult life caring for critically ill children. He spent a year and a half at an insurance company getting licensed and training to be a financial advisor. It was a great experience with a wonderful team, but it was not how he saw himself helping people. Enter, Plan of Care Advising.
Matt founded Plan of Care in 2023 to work with healthcare professionals to understand their finances and live the life they want. We have no account minimums and seek to keep operating costs low so we can price our services to be available to those often priced out of working with a financial planner. We operate virtually, we can meet face to face with those that live in or around the Birmingham, Alabama area, and work with vendors that emphasize technology and a fully digital experience so we can operate efficiently, quickly, and nationally.
Plan of Care is currently registered in Alabama and Louisiana.

Plan of Care is a fiduciary. This means we have chosen to be held to the highest standard and we are legally obligated to always act in the best interest of those we work with. "Financial advisors" and other financial professionals at banks, broker-dealers, or insurance companies are not held to this high standard.
Plan of Care is a fee-only, independent registered investment advisor (RIA). As a fee-only practice we are only paid by our clients. We do not receive any commissions or special incentives for anything we recommend, and our billing is not hidden or complicated. We can bill by assets under management (AUM) or an hourly rate. No matter which billing option you choose, you will always know exactly how much your fees are with Plan of Care. Check out our fees page for greater detail.
According to a Gallup poll, in 2022 nurses were considered the most trusted profession for the 20th year in a row. 81% of respondents thought of nurses as "highly ethical." While RIAs were not specifically listed, stockbrokers and insurance salespeople, self-described "financial advisors", ranked in the mid-teens for acting ethically. Much of the financial industry wants clients to not understand the system, how it operates, or even who or how much they pay. Nurses put their patients first. They educate constantly. They build relationships and work nonstop for the entire hospital course with the goal of providing the best outcome for their patients. This is how financial planning, advising, and investment management should operate as well.
Everyone should have access to a financial professional that puts their interests first. It is the job of healthcare workers to put their patients and patients' families first. Plan of Care understands that, and our job is to return the favor. Plan of Care wants to help you have freedom and security for the long-term, while not ignoring your ambitions today.
