The work is with families in Rockland County. The office is in Pearl River.
Fee-only financial planning in New York
Hudson is a fee-only fiduciary practice led by Chris Conover. The office is in Pearl River. Chris founded the firm in 2008. He works with families in Rockland County and Bergen County who want one adviser looking at the whole picture.
How Hudson is paid
Fee-only means you pay Hudson directly, and that is the only way the firm is paid. Chris does not sell financial products. No recommendation comes with a product attached.
Hudson is also a fiduciary. That means the advice has to put your interest first, whether the question is a portfolio, when to retire, or what to do with a house you have owned for thirty years.
In the first conversation, Chris explains in plain terms how fees would work for your situation. You hear it before you decide anything.
What the work covers
- Investments. Portfolios built around what the money is for, and managed with discipline rather than in reaction to headlines.
- Retirement. When you can stop working, how much you can draw, and which accounts to draw from first.
- Tax-aware planning. Decisions made with the tax consequences in view, year by year, in step with your accountant.
- Estate and the bigger family decisions. What you leave, how you leave it, and the harder calls a family makes together.
- Your accountant and attorney. Chris works alongside the professionals you already trust so the pieces fit and nothing falls between them.
Who you work with
Chris has more than 30 years in investment management, including more than a decade on Wall Street at Guardian and Van Eck. He holds a BA and an MBA from Fordham. He also did coursework in behavioral economics, the study of why smart people make costly money decisions when they are under pressure.
That background shows up in the work. There is a steady process behind every recommendation. And when markets or life get loud, you get an honest conversation about what to do next, and what to leave alone.
How it works
Listen. It starts with your goals, your family, and the decisions in front of you.
Analyze. Chris weighs the options against your values, your tolerance for risk, and your priorities.
Design. You get a plan built around your life, not a template.
Guide. Chris stays with you, adjusts the plan as life changes, and coordinates with your accountant and attorney along the way.
