A planner for owners who need more than portfolio talk.

The Advisor Scorecard exists because many successful business owners are paying for advice that still does not reach the actual decisions shaping their lives: taxes, uneven owner income, cash reserves, real estate, family goals, and whether the advisor fee is justified by the work being done.

Nicky's planning lens is practical and direct. The question is not only whether investments are managed. It is whether the full financial life is being coordinated well enough to help the owner keep more, build more, and sacrifice less.

What Nicky's scorecard is really testing

The quiz is not trying to make every advisor look bad. It is trying to make vague advice visible. A good advisor relationship should be able to answer better questions.

Advisor Fit

Is the advice business-owner specific?

The plan should account for owner income, tax timing, reserves, and business risk.
Fee Clarity

Is the fee worth the work?

A percentage fee should be compared to the actual planning value delivered.
Tax Awareness

Does the advisor connect with the tax picture?

The tax return often shows what portfolio-only advice misses.
Cash Flow

Does the plan reach owner cash flow?

Strong revenue does not automatically become personal clarity.

The philosophy underneath the work

Nicky's book, Money Monday themes, and current planning work point at the same idea: money should support a better life, not just create more financial homework.
