"To me, wealth is more than just money. It's your time, your relationships, your health, your peace of mind, and your values. In other words, it’s about living the life you want and being an inspiring force for change. And I want that for each and every one!" - Prudence Zhu
Born in rural central China, Prudence Zhu knew from a young age that she would need to work hard and take unique paths to make her dreams come true.
With over a decade of experience working in finance across three continents, Prudence became increasingly frustrated by the imbalance of information between big institutions and consumers.
When she achieved her own financial freedom in 2021, she finally had the courage to pursue her true passion: empowering people like her to live their best lives.
Whether that means advocating for the masses against big organizations or spending extra time coaching clients who’ve never worked with a financial professional before, Prudence is committed to making a difference. Other than serving clients, she's also committed to building a team of trustworthy experts who share the same vision, and to nudge the industry one step towards fiduciary responsibility that it desperately needs.
No sales pitch. No spreadsheets. Just a great conversation.🤗
Think of your complimentary, no-fee first meeting as our “financial first date” (minus the awkward moments, hopefully!). We’ll dive into what matters most to you—your family, your goals, and your financial aspirations. We’ll ask questions, listen closely, and see if we’re a good fit.
We'd love to learn more about YOU:
A fiduciary is someone who is legally required to put your best interests first. In the financial world, only Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs) are always required to act as fiduciaries. At Enso Financial, as an RIA, we take this responsibility seriously.🎯
And why does this matter? It means the advice you receive is truly aligned with your values and goals. When you work with a fiduciary, you can trust that their recommendations are made with your best interests at heart, with no hidden agendas or commission-driven advice. It’s about making sure your money works for you, not anyone else.💸
Nope! We don’t believe in putting up barriers like minimum net worth or investable assets. Our focus is on working with clients who appreciate and value the expertise and dedication we bring to their financial journey. If you’re all in, so are we! We’ll bring our A-game, always sticking to our fiduciary commitment to have your back. 💪
Enso is a concept rooted in Zen Buddhism that signifies a moment when the mind is free to simply let the body and spirit create. It reflects our approach at Enso Financial: holistic, simple, and centered on YOU.☝️
Our guiding investment principle is to ensure your short to mid-term cash needs are taken care of while allowing growth for the long-term. We use a bucket strategy to accomplish this:
This approach ensures you are prepared for both the near and distant future while balancing risk and growth effectively.
Yes, we constantly learn from peers and mentors who have more specialized expertise in various areas. We also collaborate with other professionals, such as tax experts and legal advisors, when necessary. However, we make recommendations independently and work closely with you to implement them, ensuring that your financial plan aligns with your unique needs and goals for long-term success.
Our perspective on real estate is that it’s a significant cornerstone for wealth building for many Americans. Good real estate investments can offer cash flow, appreciation, and tax benefits, making it a powerful tool for those in the early stages of building wealth. That's why we have developed a robust tool to analyze real estate investments and help clients make informed decisions based on their unique financial goals and situation.🌟
However, it's also important to note that real estate comes with many risks and requires more management efforts. As net worth increases, especially for those with $10M or more, wealth tends to be more diversified into the stock market and business interests. And as net worth grows even further (think $100M+), the proportion of wealth tied up in real estate often decreases.📉
Financial life planning is a holistic approach that goes beyond just numbers and financial statements. It’s developed by George Kinder in the early 1990s, and has revolutionized the financial services industry. It's about aligning your financial resources with your personal values, passions, and life goals. Think of it as a collaborative process where we help you create a roadmap that not only addresses your financial needs but also empowers you to live the life you truly want.❤️
And no, we are definitely not here to tell you how to live your life! Our role is to listen, explore, and understand what’s most important to you, empower you to design a financial vision, and then support your vision with a solid financial plan. You're in the driver's seat—we're here to provide the perspectives, tools, guidance, and expertise to help you get to where you want to go as soon as possible.🤝
