The Name

Curato: care at the center.

The name comes from care: "to heal" in Latin, "well cared for" in Italian. The medical link is intentional, but the principle is broader: good planning is ongoing. You assess, decide, monitor, and adjust as life changes.

Read Our Story

Your financial decisions rarely arrive one at a time.

Curato Advisory is a planning practice built for white coats, patients, and business owners, where income, taxes, cash flow, and the family all pull in the same decision. 

Let's Connect

Understand what's really happening

We want to learn about your life and your vision for your financial future.

Put the tradeoffs in plain language

What changes, what benefits, and what it makes possible later.

Understand what deserves attention first

We provide clarity on where to start.

Keep the plan in the conversation

Careers, practices, and families change. The plan should follow.

Financial Planning

Goals, cash flow, debt, savings, protection, and taxes looked at together, then revisited as your career and family change.

Investment Management

A strategy built around your goals, risk, and tax situation, with RFG Advisory’s investment team behind it.

Tax-Aware Planning

High income with limited write-offs. We weigh the tax implications across every decision and coordinate with your CPA.

Retirement & Independence

Not just a number. Where the income comes from, how it is taxed, and how much flexibility you keep.

Practice & Business Owners

Where personal and business wealth compete for the same capital, and the practice decision is the financial decision.

Insurance & Protection

Your earning power is your largest asset. We evaluate what protects it and what is already covered.

Asset-Backed Lending

Borrowing against assets instead of selling them, weighed against the tax, liquidity, and risk tradeoffs.

Trust Services

Trust structures coordinated with your attorney, and trustee resources available where a plan calls for them.

Charitable Giving

How and when to give, including appreciated assets and donor-advised funds, with the tax treatment considered first.

How We Help

Every decision touches the others

A portfolio choice changes your taxes. A practice choice changes your cash flow. We look at how the pieces connect before recommending anything.

Questions

What to ask, and what to know.

What should I ask a financial advisor before I hire one?

Ask how they’re paid and what else they receive, who holds your money, whether they act as a fiduciary and when, who you’ll actually work with, and what happens if you leave. We keep a one-page list of these: 10 questions to ask before hiring a planner. Use it on us and on anyone else you’re considering.

What’s the difference between a financial advisor and a financial planner?

The titles aren’t regulated, so they don’t tell you much on their own. What matters is the work: whether someone manages investments only, or also plans around taxes, cash flow, debt, insurance, retirement income, and the decisions attached to a practice or business. Ask what’s included, and ask what isn’t.

How do financial advisors get paid?

A percentage of assets managed, a flat or hourly planning fee, commissions on certain products, or some combination. None of those is automatically wrong; not being able to see it written down is. Ask for the compensation in writing, and ask what the advisor receives from anyone other than you.

What does it mean for an advisor to be a fiduciary?

A fiduciary is required to act in your best interest and disclose conflicts of interest, rather than recommending something merely suitable. Some firms are fiduciaries for advisory work but operate under a different standard for brokerage. Ask which applies to your relationship, and read Form CRS.

Do I need an advisor if I already have a CPA?

They’re different jobs. Your CPA files the return. We look ahead at how account choices, entity decisions, contribution timing, and cash flow interact, then coordinate so your CPA isn’t seeing a decision for the first time in April.

When is the right time to start working with an advisor?

Usually when a decision is sitting unmade: a contract, a buy-in, a loan strategy, a sale, an inheritance, a retirement date. You don’t need everything organized first. Bringing the one question is enough to start.
