A. Description of the Advisory Firm
MYeCFO, LLC is a Limited Liability Company organized in the state of California.
The firm was formed in January of 2013, and the principal owners are Martin Raul Curiel
and Michael Robert Munson.
B. Types of Advisory Services
MYeCFO, LLC (hereinafter “MYeCFO”) offers the following services to advisory clients:
Full-Service Consulting Services
The MYeCFO team provides comprehensive advisory services across the areas of
investments, taxes, and wealth management.
Investments:
MYeCFO offers ongoing portfolio management services based on the individual goals, objectives,
time horizon, and risk tolerance of each client. MYeCFO creates an Investment Policy Statement
for each client, which outlines the client’s current situation (income, tax levels, and risk tolerance
levels) and then constructs a plan to aid in the selection of a portfolio that matches each client’s
specific situation. Investment Supervisory Services include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Investment strategy • Personal investment policy
• Asset allocation • Asset selection
• Risk tolerance • Regular portfolio monitoring
MYeCFO evaluates the current investments of each client with respect to their risk
tolerance levels and time horizon. Risk tolerance levels are documented in the Investment
Policy Statement, which is given to each client.
MYeCFO offers both discretionary and non-discretionary investment services:
Discretionary Investment Management
Clients engage MYeCFO to handle all aspects of their investment portfolio – asset allocation,
security selection, execution, performance monitoring, and rebalancing. Clients give MYeCFO
full authority to execute a particular investment plan according to their stated guidelines and
constraints, which we can help define. We use a third-party custodian such as Charles Schwab or
other financial institution that the client designates. MYeCFO does not hold client assets
directly.
Non-Discretionary Investment Management
Clients can also hire MYeCFO for general investment consulting advice and recommendations
without execution authority. We serve as a sounding board and objective third-party to help
the client make the most informed decision regarding investment strategy. Although the
ultimate decision is made by the client, we may be asked to implement the client’s requests.
TAX STRATEGY:
MYeCFO works closely with our client’s tax accountants to design and implement cost saving
strategies, such as:
• Prepare tax documents and file tax returns on behalf of clients
• Providing an additional review and opinion related to the filing of all state and federal
tax Returns
Maximizing investment asset location efficiency
• Designing and implementing tax loss harvesting strategies
• Recommending tax efficient investment vehicles and financial products
• Advising on effective charitable contributions
MYeCFO clients
leverage our partnerships with numerous tax professionals, including CPAs and
Estate Attorneys, to execute specialized services. In addition, the Principals are registered to
prepare taxes in the State of California as of January 1, 2017, and may sign off on returns from
time to time.
WEALTH MANAGEMENT:
MYeCFO helps clients execute and manage any personal finance issue that he/she faces. A client
may provide MYeCFO with a list of prioritized projects, which we then help take from beginning
to end. We will accomplish the project ourselves and/or leverage a vetted network of external
advisors, including Bankers, Estate Attorneys, Insurance Specialists, Real estate Agents, Brokers,
Education Consultants, CPAs, and Career Coaches. We don’t take commission, referral fees, or
other remuneration from our partners.
General Consulting Engagements
From time to time and for convenience purposes, our clients might engage us for specific project
such as creating a financial plan, bookkeeping, and accounting services, educational workshops,
and other related projects. The fees for these engagements are separate from asset based fees.
Services Limited to Specific Types of Investments
MYeCFO generally limits its investment advice and/or money management to mutual funds,
equities, bonds, fixed income, debt securities, ETFs, real estate, REITs, insurance products
including annuities, and government securities. MYeCFO may use other securities as well to help
diversify a portfolio when applicable.
Bill Pay and Trustee Services
Although not currently offered to existing clients, MYeCFO will offer bill pay and/or trustee
services to clients for an additional fee, of which would be clearly outlined in the agreement with
the client.
C. Client Tailored Services and Client Imposed Restrictions
MYeCFO offers the same suite of services to all its clients. However, specific client financial plans
and their implementation are dependent upon the client Investment Policy Statement which outlines
each client’s current situation (income, tax levels, and risk tolerance levels) and is used to construct
a client specific plan to aid in the selection of a portfolio that matches restrictions, needs, and targets.
Clients may impose restrictions in investing in certain securities or types of securities in
accordance with their values or beliefs. However, if the restrictions prevent MYeCFO from
properly servicing the client account, or if the restrictions would require MYeCFO to deviate from
its standard suite of services, MYeCFO reserves the right to end the relationship.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
A wrap fee program is an investment program where the investor pays one stated fee that includes
management fees, transaction costs, fund expenses, and any other administrative fees. MYeCFO
does not participate in any wrap fee programs.
E. Amounts Under Management
MYeCFO manages approximately $186.2 Million as of 12/31/2023.
