Teresa Kuhn, JD., RFC.

Financial Life Designer and Educator

I created The Untaxable Wealth Transformation Process to help people like you discover how to survive multiple threats to your wealth and financial well-being. After listening to your concerns, answering your questions, and exploring your goals, I’ll use my customized process to fine-tune a money blueprint architected around your risk tolerance, financial goals, and relationship to money.  My goal is to craft a finely-tuned plan that will allow you to maximize every penny of your savings and turn your tax liability into wealth.

When you decide to work with me, we will navigate each challenge together and you will attain greater peace of mind. My aim is to make it so you never again have to toss and turn at night, worrying about future tax increases, market risk, or other erosive forces that could destroy your finances. Together, we will create your ultimate Untaxable Lifestyle by maximizing the benefits that can come from your most significant lifetime expense- the taxes you pay.
