THE METHOD — TEAM-DELIVERED, FOUNDER-PRESENTED

Built for keeps.

The KEEPS Method™ is how ProsperiFi plans — the same doctrine we run for family offices, packaged as a five-stage system a dedicated planner delivers for you: Know the Score. Expose the Fault Lines. Engineer the Cash Engine. Pull the Trigger. Stay Rich. One flat fee, in writing. One founder-delivered Score Reveal. Zero products for sale.

Start with your free Wealth Builder Score Call (847) 310-7133 The scan is the front door to KEEPS — twelve questions, about three minutes.

Five letters. One system.

Every stage ends with something in your hands — a score, a ranked list, a working plan — not a meeting about a meeting.

K — STAGE 01

Know the Score

Your Wealth Builder Score™ result becomes a full scoring of your financial life — every account, entity, policy, and obligation on one map, scored 0–100. You can't defend what you haven't measured.

E — STAGE 02

Expose the Fault Lines

The four-pillar sweep — asset protection, tax exposure, concentration, continuity — surfaces where your plan actually breaks, ranked by severity, not by what's easiest to sell.

E — STAGE 03

Engineer the Cash Engine

Your balance sheet gets wired to your cash flow: what funds what, what feeds compounding, and where every dollar stands watch. Structure first — products never.

P — STAGE 04

Pull the Trigger

Decisions get made — in the room, in order, with deadlines. The Score Reveal is this stage's centerpiece: the founder presents your score, your fault lines, and the fix order, personally.

S — STAGE 05

Stay Rich

Defense on a cadence: your plan re-scored as tax law, markets, and your life move, your planner on a named schedule, and the AI-native monitoring that never takes a quarter off.

Who does what.

You get a system, a team, and the founder — each where they're strongest.

Your dedicated planner

Runs your engagement start to finish — the scoring, the fault-line work, the cash engine, the cadence. Certified on the method, accountable to you by name.

The Shield team

Client service, investments, and strategy standing behind every engagement, coordinating the attorneys, CPAs, and insurance professionals already in your corner.

The founder

One seat in every KEEPS engagement is his: the Score Reveal. Your results, his read, across the table.

Flat fee, quoted in writing before we start. KEEPS is fee-only like everything at ProsperiFi — no commissions, no products, every fee in our published fee framework and Form ADV Part 2A. When a KEEPS engagement surfaces structural problems beyond its scope, the Fault Line Audit is the escalation path.
WHY A METHOD, NOT A GUY

Advice that depends on one person's calendar isn't a system. This is.

KEEPS exists so the standard doesn't dilute as the firm grows: every planner runs the same five stages, scores against the same rubric, and escalates on the same triggers. The method carries the founder's doctrine — so you get the thinking without waiting on the calendar, and the Score Reveal when it counts.

Know your score before the market, the IRS, or life checks it for you.

Three minutes, twelve questions, free. If KEEPS is the right mandate, you'll know by the end of the first conversation.
