Responsible
Whether you’re constantly over-extended or sitting on cash, it’s critically important to be deliberate with your cash flow. Capitalize on existing resources and opportunities by prioritizing what’s important.
Empowered
When life gets complicated we tend to freeze. Making no decisions appears better than making the wrong one, right? Maybe… but more likely you’re losing valuable time on achieving your goals. Let’s work together to start making choices so you can start moving forward.
Confident
Confidence comes from understanding your options and their expected outcomes. We weave together relevant and factual information alongside reasonable assumptions so you can make a better decision. Cut through the noise and get answers that matter to you.

Quentara Costa is a fee-only Certified Financial Planner™. We do not draft estate planning documents, prepare taxes, sell annuities or insurance, manage investments, or work for community elder service programs. Powwow, LLC is not a health care professional or care provider. If deemed beneficial to pursue advanced strategies, care, or benefits, additional professionals can be hired at the client’s discretion. 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.
