"Catrina created a wonderful line drawing of pop sensation Cilla Black for me recently. I gave her a couple of photos to work from and the final result is stunning. The attention to detail and the accuracy of Cilla's profile is incredible. I have the artwork proudly displayed in my music room and everyone admires it! Thank you Catrina and RIP Cilla."

"I first met Catrina in Zambia and have watched her devolop her skills for many years. She is a very talented lady, who has worked with passion, and an acute attention to detail, to bring the quality of her work to this very high standard. It has been a joy to watch her unfold into this beautiful creative woman."

"I honestly can’t thank you enough for Isabella’s portrait. The moment I saw it, I was completely blown away and quite emotional. The level of detail is incredible, and it’s clear how much talent, care, and love went into creating it. It feels so much more than a drawing. Every time I look at it, it makes me smile. Thank you for creating something so special that our family will treasure for years to come. ❤️
HOW WE WORK WITH YOUR TEAM

A Process Built Around the Cases You Bring.

Every engagement is shaped by the case in front of us, but the process itself is consistent. It is built to integrate cleanly with the legal team already in place, to produce financial analysis your client and the rest of the table can rely on, and to keep your representation moving forward without administrative friction. The three stages below describe how an engagement typically unfolds from the moment of referral to the close of the matter.
Onboarding step: confidential discovery for divorce financial consulting referrals

Step 1

Onboarding

Quiet, considered, and complete before the first analysis is run.

After the introduction, the engagement begins with a confidential conversation directly with your client. The first call is private, unhurried, and structured to develop a complete understanding of the case: the scope of the marital estate, the complexity of the assets involved, the dispute resolution path the case is taking, and the specific financial questions that need to be answered. Where it is helpful, a follow-up call with you is scheduled to align on case strategy, timeline expectations, and any sensitivities that should be reflected in how the work is presented.

By the end of onboarding, three things are in place: a clear scope of work confirmed in writing, a defined deliverable, and a working relationship with your client that you can trust to remain professional, discreet, and aligned with your representation.

Outcome: a confirmed scope, a clear timeline, and a client who feels grounded going into the analysis.

Step 2

Analysis

The substantive financial work, presented in a form your team can use.

This is where the depth of the firm's institutional finance background does its work. The analysis is built to the case: settlement scenarios modeled on a net-after-tax basis, retirement assets reviewed with QDRO drafting in mind, and long-term cash flow and net worth projections that show what each proposed structure actually produces over a 20 to 30 year horizon. Where a particular asset class requires specialized expertise, such as a closely held business, the firm coordinates with a qualified independent professional rather than overstepping its scope.

The deliverable is an analysis sized to the case: clear enough for your client to understand, detailed enough for your negotiation, and structured so that the most important findings surface in the first page rather than the last. Throughout the engagement, the firm is available for working calls with you, with the mediator, or with the full collaborative team, presenting findings in a way that informs rather than advocates.

Outcome: a financial analysis, defensible in negotiation, presented in a form that integrates with the work already underway.

Step 3

Resolution

From the agreement to the financial life that begins on the day it is signed.

As the case approaches resolution, the financial work shifts from analysis to execution. QDROs are reviewed before submission. Asset transfers are mapped and sequenced. The post-divorce financial picture, including budget, tax filing posture, and longer-term planning, is built out so that your client is not left navigating a long list of unfamiliar tasks alone after the matter closes. Where investment management is appropriate, the affiliated registered investment adviser is available; where it is not, the firm says so.

Once the case is closed, the relationship with you continues. The firm reports back on how the engagement landed, surfaces anything from the case that should inform future referrals, and remains a resource for the next matter. Referral relationships with the firm are built to last, which is why the closing of one case is treated as the opening of the next conversation rather than the end of one.

Outcome: a clean financial transition for your client, a closed loop with you, and a relationship positioned for the next case.
