Engineering-grade financial planning with fiduciary advice. We coordinate your mortgage, insurance, investments, and tax strategy so each decision reinforces the next — not fights it.
We started Eliminate Card Debt in 2022 after a decade inside big banks and brokerages where the answer was always "buy the house-brand product." The premise was simple: one team, licensed across loans, insurance, and investments, paid only by the client — never by the product.
Three years in, we coordinate finances for 12,800 households across all 50 states. Our advisors are fiduciaries under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Our loan officers are NMLS-licensed. Our insurance agents hold resident licenses in 14 states and non-resident in the rest.
One coordinated financial system for every U.S. household — not a pile of disconnected products.
Replace commission-driven sales with licensed advice, accelerated by software the client can actually see.
Fiduciary first. Transparent pricing. Plain-language explanations. Same answer whether or not you buy.
Never sell products for commission. Never recommend what we wouldn't hold ourselves. Show the math.
Numbers as of Q1 2025, audited annually by Withum Smith+Brown PC.
These aren't marketing points. They're operational commitments — each one costs us money, and we make it anyway.
We are legally bound to act in your best interest. We hand you the signed fiduciary pledge at onboarding.
Our advisors earn the same whether you choose the 3-fund portfolio or the actively managed one. We removed the incentive.
Your loan officer, insurance agent, investment advisor, and tax planner sit in the same Slack channel. No handoffs, no lost context.
Average close in 18 days vs. the 38-day industry median. We control the file from application to clear-to-close.
Harvesting losses, locating bonds in tax-deferred accounts, matching gain/loss across asset classes. We share the workbook.
Secure message your advisor team any time. Median first response: 1h 42m. After-hours triage for time-sensitive items.
No 90-page proposal binder. No mystery. You'll see the plan being built.
Goals, constraints, current state. We pull credit (with permission) and review existing statements. Free.
A written plan covering loans, insurance, investments, and tax. Every recommendation has the math behind it.
We handle the paperwork: loan applications, policy shopping, account transfers, beneficiary updates.
Quarterly check-ins. Annual full replan. Life-event replans (marriage, birth, job change, inheritance) on demand.
In-house underwriting means we control the timeline. Median close: 18 days for purchase, 14 for refi.

Direct indexing for accounts $250K+. We hold the S&P 500 constituents individually so we can harvest losses at the constituent level — typically 1.2% of AUM per year in tax alpha. Thematic and ESG sleeves available.
Physical allocated gold via BullionVault, gold ETFs (IAU, GLD), and gold-mining equity baskets. We cap precious metals at 5–10% of portfolio — enough to matter in a tail event, not enough to drag long-term returns.

We were three weeks from closing on a refi when our old lender's underwriter went on vacation. Eliminate Card Debt picked up the file Tuesday morning and we closed the following Friday. Same rate they quoted on day one.
I run a plumbing company with 14 trucks. Needed an SBA 7(a) and commercial auto on the same timeline. They got both done in 21 days and the insurance bundled $4,200 off what I was paying Travelers.
My old advisor had me in four different mutual funds all charging 1.1% on top of his 1% fee. They showed me the math, moved me to a three-fund portfolio, and my expense ratio went from 2.1% to 0.12%. That's $4,800 a year back in my account.
We have two kids, one in elementary, one in preschool. They built a 529 ladder for both, set up $1.2M in laddered term life on my husband (we both work, he earns more), and explained every trade-off in language my mother-in-law could follow. Worth every dollar.
I'm 67, retiring at 70. They ran a Medicare Advantage vs. supplement comparison that showed the supplement was $1,100/yr more upfront but $3,400/yr cheaper once I factored in my COPD meds. The agent spent 90 minutes on the phone with me. No one at Humana ever did that.
First-time homebuyers, terrified, didn't know the difference between APR and interest rate. Our advisor walked us through every line of the Loan Estimate, called the listing agent to confirm closing timeline, and was on the phone at 7am the day of closing. We have recommended them to four friends.
If yours isn't here, write to us. We answer everything in writing.
Yes. We are registered investment advisors under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, which means we are legally bound to act in your best interest. We hand you a signed fiduciary pledge at onboarding. If we ever breach it, you have a direct claim.
Every advisor is salaried. No commissions, no product bonuses, no sales quotas. The firm earns money from client subscriptions and AUM fees — that's it. We do not receive kickbacks from lenders, insurers, or fund companies.
All 50. We hold resident insurance licenses in Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Texas; non-resident licenses in the remaining 46 states. NMLS #2489017 covers loan originator activity nationwide. SEC registration covers investment advisory nationwide above the $100M AUM threshold (we are above it).
Yes. About 40% of clients start with a single transaction (a loan or a policy). The Foundation plan covers that at $0. If it makes sense to coordinate later, we'll suggest it — but we won't push.
It depends on the product. Conventional mortgages: 620 minimum, 740+ for best rates. FHA: 580. VA: 580 (no official minimum, but most lenders want 580). Auto: 660+ for prime rates. Personal: 640+. We can pre-qualify with a soft pull — no score impact — in 90 seconds.
Our 2024 average was 18 days for purchases and 14 days for refinances. The industry median was 38 days (ICE Mortgage Monitor, Q4 2024). We control underwriting in-house, which is the bottleneck at most lenders. Appraisal is the one variable we can't compress.
$25,000 for managed accounts. Below that, we'll point you to a robo-advisor (we recommend Betterment or Wealthfront) and bring you over when you cross the threshold. Direct indexing starts at $250,000.
256-bit AES encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit. SOC 2 Type II audited annually by Withum. We use Plaid for bank connections (read-only, no credentials stored). We never sell data. We share information with lenders and insurers only when you authorize a specific application. Full details in the Privacy Policy.
One email, Friday morning. Rate movements, tax-code changes, and one piece of advice we'd give our own family that week. No spam, no upsells.
