The response could be Accept, Deny, or an offer to negotiate the terms of the proposal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Check out the questions below and gain more clarity on what working with Zen Zone will look like.
Do you work remote, on site, or both?
If it’s determined that client needs can best be met through on-site meetings, John Hall can commute within a 30-minute radius of his home in Redwood Shores, CA. Under most circumstances, he will work remotely and meet with the client through Zoom.
Are you a Certified Financial Planner (CFP) or Registered Agent (RA) (i.e. a certified tax preparer), or a Fiduciary?
Not at this time. However, John offers services that can overlap and certainly link with these professions. Specifically:
- John will work with the client on assumptions and model cash flow projections that can be shared with a CFP. He can also offer recommendations on real estate portfolio allocation within the context of a broader portfolio, a service CFP’s often touch provide because they focused on mutual funds, stocks and bonds.
- John can prepare simple tax returns on software such as Turbo Tax, particularly is the client does not normally itemize deductions. He will not prepare more complex taxes. However, he can work directly with your tax preparer to provide any needed inputs for schedules, such as donations, interest payments, and real estate net income.
- John is not a licensed fiduciary, responsible for ensuring proper care for incapacitated clients. He can help fiduciaries with the client’s paper and electronic file organization, as well as bill paying and cash flow management.
