Who this is for

Built for 9th & 9th LGBTQ+ households

9th & 9th is one of Salt Lake City's most walkable, LGBTQ+-friendly neighborhoods — Craftsman single-family, condos, and a mix of tech workers and healthcare professionals.

  • Second-parent adoption is a genuinely important protection in Utah and hasn't happened yet.
  • Utah's flat income tax makes Roth conversion timing more attractive than in most states — and nobody has modeled it.
  • Your Silicon Slopes RSUs have quietly become the biggest asset in the household.
  • Estate documents don't travel well outside Utah.

How we help 9th & 9th households

Second-parent adoption follow-through

Even with marriage, presumption laws don't travel reliably across state lines. We help you sequence and budget the second-parent adoption that makes parentage bulletproof in every state.

Roth conversion timing

The lower-income years between careers, sabbaticals, or before RMDs are the ones to fill up cheap Roth space. We map the multi-year plan instead of one-off flips in December.

RSU + ESPP sequencing across two careers

Vest calendars, concentration risk, ESPP hold-vs-sell, and the tax bill hiding in your next refresh — coordinated with the rest of the plan, not treated as a separate problem.
