When You ACT,
You Get More

More strategy. More clarity. More of what matters—delivered by a fee-only fiduciary financial planning and investment management firm that puts your interests first.

We help successful families, executives, and professionals simplify complex finances, pursue tax-efficient strategies, and plan for what’s next.

Your financial life is complex—and moving fast. If you value strategy, clarity, coordination, and expert partnership, you’re in the right place.

Senior Executives Navigating
Complex Compensation

You’re managing a demanding career, and your compensation reflects it—stock options, RSUs, deferred compensation plans, and bonuses that carry real opportunity and real risk. You want to reduce tax friction, align benefits with long-term goals, and make informed financial decisions without pressure or product sales. We help design strategies to address complexity and support your financial goals.

Families Managing Significant Wealth and Pivotal Decisions

You have significant assets or income, growing complexity, and the responsibility that comes with both. You may be navigating major life events—retirement, a business sale, inheritance, or preparing to transfer wealth to the next generation. You want integrated advice that connects investments, taxes, estate planning, and legacy goals. We provide thoughtful collaboration, clear guidance, and a relationship grounded in trust.

Credit Union Executives with
Unique Benefit Packages

You’ve built a mission-driven career and earned benefits like 457 plans or split-dollar arrangements—benefits that require specialized, objective guidance. You want advice that aligns with your values, reduces unnecessary tax exposure, and takes advantage of your Tax Delta™ superpower. We understand the credit union movement and help you uncover opportunities within your current benefits package—so it works as hard for you as you do for your members.

  • Doug and team are amazing! We’ve been clients for years and couldn’t be happier. Doug truly listens and cares about our needs/goals and tailors strategies to achieve them. The strategies have been very successful and we are now happily retired! The team is extremely professional and responsive. They go above and beyond to meet our needs. Wrapped around all of this is a very personal touch.

  • Pat Latta is always keeping my risk threshold in mind and he is aware of my husband's health issues. He performs his job with professionalism and attention to detail. He knows what is important to me in investing practices.

    Doug English and the ACT Advisors staff are well into their second decade with my family as trusted advisors. Doug helped me map out a feasible plan for early retirement and a secure financial future. Doug is always very responsive to any inquiry or need, and I love his levelheaded approach to financial success. I highly recommend Doug!
