Milestones Financial: Expert, advice-only retirement and tax planning.
My transparent, advice-only philosophy
Many people want financial advice—but don’t want to hand over their life savings or sit through a sales pitch.
That’s why Milestones Financial exists. I believe financial planning is a helping profession—one built on transparency, objectivity, and your best interest, always.
Unlike traditional advisors who require you to move your assets under their management or try to sell you insurance products, I simply charge for my time. You only pay for the financial advice you need, when you need it. No hidden agendas. No pressure. No strings attached.
The Milestones Financial advantage
What you get:
✅ Flat-fee and hourly financial planning to streamline complicated finances
✅ Investment advice without taking control of your money
✅ Transparent pricing through a fee schedule you actually understand
✅ Financial advisor aiming to avoid conflicts of interest by providing advice-only financial planning
✅ A CFP® professional and enrolled agent (EA) of the IRS dedicated to improving your financial health
I do not:
❌ Behave like investments are the answer to all of your financial concerns
❌ Require you to move your money to a custodian where I control it
❌ Camouflage fees you pay from product sales or assets under management (AUM)
❌ Have built-in conflicts of interest by having my compensation based on managing your money or receiving commissions
❌ Have a team of revolving people answering your questions

What makes Milestones Financial an advice-only retirement and tax planning firm?
As an advice-only retirement and tax planning firm, I’m compensated solely by flat fees or hourly rates. I do not require you to move your money, manage your investment accounts, or earn commissions from product sales. This eliminates built-in conflicts of interest and keeps my financial advice objective.

Clients benefit from objective financial advice, transparent pricing, and the ability to keep full control of their investments. Financial planning is delivered through flat-fee or hourly engagements, with guidance from a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional and enrolled agent (EA) of the IRS focused on your long-term financial health.
Meet Josh Gallogly, CFP®, EA: Managing Member, Founder, and fiduciary advocate
“I try to bring value by helping you get past cliché answers to questions about your money.
Every person is unique. Every person’s background and life experiences are different. I love learning people’s stories and how they got to where they are today. It’s so important for me to know because I just don’t feel right helping you with your money until I understand who I’m working with as my client. It’s a disservice if I think you’re just like everyone else and that what’s meaningful to you is predictable.
I then try to bring more value by helping you see all the possibilities you have in front of you.”
