What We Do Differently as Your Financial Advisor

Most financial advisors manage portfolios and collect fees. We build strategy. Brandt Michelet brings Fortune-500 financial planning experience — managing billions in revenue at Landry’s Inc. — to individual and small business clients who deserve the same caliber of thinking.

📈

Strategic Financial Planning

A comprehensive financial plan that covers cash flow, debt structure, tax efficiency, retirement, and business goals — integrated into a single strategy that actually gets executed, not filed away.

🏠

Investment Advisory

Tailored investment strategy aligned with your risk tolerance, tax situation, and timeline. We don’t push products — we build portfolios that fit your overall financial plan.

🛍

Retirement Planning

401(k), IRA, SEP-IRA, pension analysis, Social Security optimization, withdrawal strategy. We plan the full arc of your retirement, not just the accumulation phase.

💼

Business Financial Advisory

For business owners: cash flow management, working capital optimization, profit maximization, business valuation, exit planning. The financial operating system your business needs to scale.

📌

Tax-Integrated Planning

Unlike financial advisors who ignore taxes, every plan we build is tax-optimized. Investment decisions, retirement contributions, and income timing are all coordinated with your annual tax strategy.

📋

Wealth Preservation

Estate planning considerations, asset protection, trust coordination, insurance analysis. We identify the gaps in your current financial structure and build a plan to close them before they cost you.

The Background Behind the Strategy

Brandt Michelet built his expertise managing financial operations at scale — overseeing revenue, cost structure, and financial strategy for a Fortune-500 organization. That’s a different foundation than most financial advisors, who came up through portfolio management or sales.

The result is a financial advisory practice that thinks in terms of full business economics, not just investment returns. Tax strategy, cash flow, valuation, exit planning, and investment advisory are integrated — because in real financial life, they all affect each other.

We work with individuals building wealth, small business owners optimizing their operations, and entrepreneurs planning exits. Virtual consultations available nationwide.

Financial Advisory for Every Stage

👨‍💻 Self-Employed Professionals

Consultants, freelancers, attorneys, doctors, real estate agents — if you’re billing clients and managing your own benefits and retirement, you need a financial advisor who understands self-employment economics.

🏢 Small Business Owners

From startup to $10M in revenue, we help business owners build the financial infrastructure to grow profitably, plan their exit, and keep more of what they earn.

🏠 Real Estate Investors

Rental portfolios, fix-and-flip, short-term rentals — real estate creates complex tax and cash flow situations that require an advisor who understands the asset class deeply.

📈 Wealth Builders

W-2 earners with growing investment portfolios who want more than a target-date fund — active tax management, Roth conversion strategy, and a real plan for financial independence.

🛍 Pre-Retirees

Within 10 years of retirement, the financial decisions you make now have enormous long-term impact. Social Security timing, sequence-of-returns risk, Roth conversion windows, healthcare planning.

💼 Business Sellers

Preparing to sell your business? Exit tax planning, deal structure analysis, and post-sale wealth management to maximize what you actually take home after the transaction.

Financial Advisor Questions Answered

What does a financial advisor actually do?
A financial advisor helps you make better financial decisions — investment strategy, retirement planning, tax efficiency, insurance needs, debt management, and long-term wealth building. The quality of the advisor matters enormously: some are product salespeople, others are genuine strategists. We operate as a fee-based advisory practice focused on building your financial outcomes, not selling you financial products.
How is Michelet Financial different from a traditional financial advisor?
Most traditional financial advisors focus primarily on investment management and charge AUM (assets under management) fees. We take a broader view — integrating tax strategy, business advisory, cash flow management, and investment planning into a single coordinated strategy. Our background is in corporate financial operations, which gives us a different lens than advisors who came up through portfolio management.
Do you manage investment portfolios?
We provide investment advisory services as part of a comprehensive financial plan. We focus on tax-efficient investment strategy, asset allocation, and portfolio structure aligned with your goals. If you need full discretionary portfolio management, we can discuss whether that’s the right fit for your situation.
How much do your financial advisory services cost?
We offer project-based and ongoing retainer engagements. Cost depends on the scope of work — a one-time financial plan, quarterly advisory, or full ongoing relationship. We discuss pricing transparently in your first consultation. We do not charge AUM fees or receive commissions on financial products.
Can you work with clients outside of Texas?
Yes — 100% of our financial advisory work is available virtually. We work with clients across all 50 states via video consultation and secure document sharing. Location is no barrier to getting quality financial advice.
