The founder

I never set out to start a firm.

Considerate Capital grew one person at a time, out of a handful of people I cared about asking for help — and out of a lesson I learned long before I had a word for it: understand the problem someone actually has, and solve that one.

I'm Josh Mangoubi, CFA. I still work this way.

Questions

Questions people bring us first.

The first hour of any planning relationship is mostly questions. Here are the ones people ask before they ever schedule a call.

We are designed for thoughtful pre-retirees and retirees, often with $2M+ in investable assets, who want an ongoing advisory relationship rather than a one-time plan. The best fit is usually someone who wants help coordinating investments, taxes, income, estate questions, and long-term decisions.See who we serve
We do not start with products or market predictions. We start with the life you want your wealth to support, then build a retirement income and investment strategy around that. The goal is not simply to maximize a portfolio. The goal is to make work optional with clarity, resilience, and peace of mind.
Yes. We help identify planning opportunities such as withdrawal sequencing, Roth conversion windows, charitable planning, concentrated positions, and tax-aware investment decisions. We do not prepare tax returns or provide legal advice, so we coordinate with your CPA or attorney when needed.Read: the retirement tax window
