Who we serve · Families
College, childcare, the mortgage, your parents, your future. One plan that holds it all together.
Sound familiar?
Today's bills, tomorrow's goals, and the just-in-case. A family plan funds all three on purpose.
Mortgage, childcare, and a monthly system that saves without relying on willpower.
College and retirement funded together, in the right order. Loans exist for one, not the other.
Insurance reviewed, and wills and guardianship coordinated with your estate attorney, so one bad day stays one bad day.
What we're really planning for
College funds and insurance policies are just the paperwork. This is what the paperwork protects.
The balancing act
The classic family mistake is over-funding the kids and under-funding the future. There are loans for college. There are none for retirement. We set the order right, then automate both.
Protection first
Life and disability coverage that actually fits, guardianship coordinated with your attorney, beneficiaries current. The unglamorous work that lets a family sleep, and the work we start in your first ninety days.
First things first
One family’s year
Maya is a hospital administrator. Devon runs a twelve-person contracting firm. Between them: two 401(k)s from old jobs, a 529 opened after their first child and funded twice, term policies from three different carriers, and a mortgage refinanced in 2021. Household income is strong. It has never felt like it.
Nothing was wrong, exactly. Everything was just unfinished. The beneficiary on Maya’s old retirement account still named her mother. Devon paid himself whatever the business had left over, so saving happened in bursts. They had talked about a will for six years, usually in the car, usually in January. Every piece of their financial life had been a reasonable decision at the time. Nobody had ever looked at all of it at once.
That is where we started: one long conversation with everything on the table. Then order. Beneficiaries fixed within the week. A real salary for Devon, so the household ran on a system instead of leftovers. College and retirement funded together on purpose instead of competing. A will with guardians named, coordinated with an estate attorney. Coverage consolidated and right-sized, with every cost shown plainly before anything changed.
The drawer is now a folder, and the folder is thin. Money moves on payday without anyone having to decide anything. Maya and Devon still argue about vacations. They no longer argue about whether they are behind. That, more than any number, is the outcome we plan for.
Maya and Devon are a hypothetical composite drawn from situations we commonly see, not actual clients. Their story is provided for illustration only and is not a testimonial or a guarantee of any particular outcome or result.
From one family to yours
Attend was founded by Tony Colunga as, in his own words, a love letter to his wife, Dr. Abana Azariah. The firm's name is a promise he learned from watching her care for people: show up, pay attention, take care of someone.
That is the standard your family gets. When we build a plan for the people you love, it is personal, because it is exactly how we plan for our own.
“A family plan is not about spreadsheets. It is about making sure the people you love are okay, no matter what.”
