The Process
Step 1: Onboard. Review paperwork, pay invoice, and create your new eMoney portal. Start now!
Step 2: Schedule your first Powwow with our convenient virtual calendar.
Step 3: Start your financial journey through collaboration on our eMoney portal and a series of financial powwows where we’ll identify relevant financial strategy and address your what-ifs. Here is generally how the process goes:
First Powwow: What are your goals? What are your resources?
- Cash reserve, retirement planning, and elder care goals
- Lifestyle “what-ifs” (home renovation, travel, career)
- Goals related to financially supporting children
- Goals related to financially supporting parents
This conversation is also an opportunity to discuss the emotional side of finances. We are happy to provide guidance and perspective to make conversation more productive and less contentious. In addition to goals, we will begin a review of provided information related to:
- Spending
- Investment account types, risk tolerance, and allocation
- Estate plans and beneficiary designations
- Tax strategy
- Employee or independent insurance policies (LTC, life, disability)
- Asset protection (home, auto, and liability)
Second Powwow: Visualize options
Third Powwow: Plan delivery
Your plan is complete and we have created a financial plan that illustrates your chosen path with a list of recommendations. After plan delivery, you’ll have access to eMoney for the remainder of the year. If you would like to retain ongoing advisor access in our hourly financial planning services, please ask about our membership program.

Quentara Costa is a fee-only Certified Financial Planner™. We do not draft estate planning documents, prepare taxes, sell annuities or insurance, or work for community elder service programs. Powwow, LLC is not a health care professional or care provider.

If local, Quentara can provide recommendations for independent health assessments, attorneys, CPAs, Medicare enrollment, real estate agents specializing in senior downsizing, move managers, handymen, and retirement community locators. National recommendations will be made when possible and with insight from affiliated elder care and financial networks. Quentara does not receive any referral fees or commissions if making a recommendation to a trusted professional.
It is perfectly fine to provide hard copies of requested information. However, the time it takes to scan and manually enter data will add time to the project and increase the cost.
