Design Life’s Journey
Design Life’s Journey Wealth and Tax Services is a wealth creation organization focused on helping small business owners and individuals build and protect their wealth and lifestyles. This is accomplished through three foundational pillars: financial services including asset management, tax planning and tax preparation services, and profit & operational improvement coaching for small businesses with fewer than 100 employees.
The organization is comprised of two distinct entities, DLJ Wealth Services, LLC and DLJ Tax Services, LLC, to meet their legal and regulatory requirements. The integration of the three disciplines into these organizations was created to provide clients with a fully comprehensive financial overview before developing strategies for cash flow, tax minimization and investment management. While the two businesses are distinct, the combined effort provides a more complete framework to help their clients build their wealth and live the life they desire.
DLJ Tax Services is a small organization providing personal attention to clients from offices in Appleton, WI and Dawsonville, GA. Their goal is to help their clients grow their wealth in a manner that fits their specific needs and put them in control of their future.
Deb Matz, CEO, Design Life’s Journey
As a Profit First Professional, Tax Planner and Wealth Advisor, Deb Matz is trained in disciplines that impact everyone’s financial situation. Alone, they only partially address an individual’s or business owner’s needs. Together, they enable her to help you plan appropriately and keep more of what you earn – now and in retirement.
As clients move through the wealth accumulation phase (their working or business building years) to the income distribution phase (the retirement years), she makes certain each phase incorporates both a strong offensive and defensive strategies. This is key to creating the lifestyle you desire and keeping more of what you earn. No one size fits all financial strategy for my clients. Each client’s resources, needs and goals are different, so each plan is personalized accordingly.
