Personal Economy Design·Roslyn, New York

Financial balance isn’t found.
It’s built.

Protection, assets, liabilities, and cash flow, coordinated into one deliberate architecture. For those who expect wealth to be designed.

Architecture
Statera Wealth SolutionsEst. MMXIV
statēra · Latin, “a balance”

Most financial lives are an accumulation: accounts added, insurance policies purchased, financial products acquired, decisions made in isolation. We replace accumulation with architecture.

The Discipline

Design over fragmentation.

Complexity compounds, and outcomes become accidental.

Protected growth, capital growth, liabilities, and cash flow are placed into one coordinated structure, designed to function as a whole and engineered to adapt as life evolves. This is planning as architecture, not a collection of products.

The Design Framework

Wealth is engineered,
not accumulated.

Four disciplines working in concert, turning scattered financial decisions into one coordinated personal economy.

See the whole economy before a single piece is moved.

The Financial X-Ray

Clarity comes first.

Before design, there must be clarity. The Financial X-Ray maps your personal economy as one integrated system, revealing how decisions interact, where inefficiencies hide, and which trade-offs actually matter.

Christopher A. Koopman, President and Founder of Statera Wealth Solutions

The Principal

Christopher A. Koopman, CEPA®

President & Founder,
Statera Wealth Solutions, Inc.

Chris has worked in the financial space since 2003, helping families, individuals, clinic owners and executives bring structure, clarity, and intention to increasingly complex financial lives.

His purpose is to transform and elevate the conversations people have about money; moving beyond isolated products and reactive decisions toward a more thoughtful, coordinated understanding of their personal economy. By making complex topics accessible and creating a judgment-free space for inquiry, Chris helps clients close gaps in financial understanding, uncover blind spots, and make decisions with greater confidence and perspective.

Chris’s work is grounded in a protection-first philosophy: protect against what can go wrong so clients can confidently invest in what can go right. Rather than treating insurance, investments, retirement planning, and cash flow as separate decisions, he places them into a broader macro context, designing a financial structure where every element supports the whole.

“Financial balance isn’t found. It’s built.”

As the founder of Statera Wealth Solutions, Chris approaches planning as architecture. His role is not to predict markets or sell products, but to design resilient personal economies, coordinating protection, assets, liabilities, and cash flow into systems that can adapt as life evolves. The result is greater efficiency, clearer priorities, and a deeper sense of both financial and emotional well-being.

Clients work with Chris for perspective, discipline, and structure. His process emphasizes intentional decision-making, reduced waste, enhanced tax efficiency, and long-term sustainability, so wealth is built by design, not by accident.

Chris also serves as an advisor with Northeast Financial Network, while operating Statera Wealth Solutions. In addition to his advisory work, Chris is a financial advocate and educator. He has spoken at numerous public and professional events, helping entrepreneurs, executives, and clinicians rethink how their financial decisions fit together over time. He is a Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA®) and has earned 18 industry recognitions for his client-focused, systems-based approach to wealth design.

Outside the Office

Chris is an avid skier who spends his winters in Stowe, Vermont. When he’s not on the mountain, he’s most often found at his daughter Juliet’s lacrosse games, traveling with family, or attempting to improve his golf game. His greatest joy is time spent with his wife Nicole and daughter Juliet.

Our Philosophy

Design over fragmentation.

We replace accumulation with architecture: one coordinated personal economy, designed to function as a whole.

Most financial lives are an accumulation of accounts: policies, products, and strategies acquired over time that were never designed to operate together. Complexity compounds, and outcomes become accidental rather than intentional. Our work begins by replacing that accumulation with architecture.

I

Architecture, not accumulation

We integrate protection, assets, liabilities, and cash flow into one coordinated personal economy. Rather than treating each as a separate decision, every element is placed within a broader context, a structure where each part supports the whole and adapts as life evolves.

II

Protection comes first

Before building toward growth, we anchor protection: secure what can go wrong, so you can confidently invest in what can go right. A resilient structure begins with a stable foundation, not with a forecast.

III

Designed to adapt

Careers, families, ambitions, and markets all change. A personal economy is not a static plan filed away; it is a living structure, recalibrated over time so it continues to serve the life it was built for.

“Most people accumulate. We design.”

Christopher A. Koopman · Founder

The result is greater efficiency, clearer priorities, less waste, and a deeper sense of both financial and emotional well-being. Wealth built by design, not by accident.

The Design Framework

Four disciplines.
One structure.

A disciplined approach to transforming disconnected financial decisions into a coordinated personal economy.

Architecture
The Personal EconomyOne Coordinated Structure

IClarity

Before a single decision is made, we map your entire personal economy as one connected system: protection, assets, liabilities, and cash flow. This macro view surfaces the real causes of inefficiency rather than the symptoms, so we begin from fact, not assumption.

IIDesign

With clarity established, the structure is designed: protection anchored first, so everything built upon it can grow with confidence. Each element is positioned in relation to the others, shifting the work from a product-first transaction to a process-first strategy.

IIIExecution

Strategy becomes structure. Each piece is implemented deliberately and in sequence, coordinated so that every decision reinforces the whole rather than competing with it.

IVRefinement

A personal economy is never “finished.” As your life, work, and ambitions evolve, the structure is reviewed and recalibrated, a discipline applied consistently over time, not a one-time event.

The Living Balance Sheet®

The Design Framework is supported by a comprehensive, holistic view of your personal economy, mapping protection, assets, liabilities, and cash flow as a single, integrated system, so decisions can be tested before they are made and weighed for their impact across the whole.

This foundational view is made possible through The Living Balance Sheet®, which serves as the underlying architecture of the framework, bringing clarity to complexity and coherence to decision-making. It is introduced and explored in depth during our conversations: not something that is “completed,” but a way of thinking, applied consistently as life unfolds.

The Financial X-Ray

Clarity comes first.

A structural view of your personal economy, before a single decision is made.

The Financial X-Ray provides a structural view of your personal economy, mapping protection, assets, liabilities, and cash flow as one integrated system.

It reveals how your decisions interact, where inefficiencies exist, and which trade-offs matter most. Rather than viewing each account or policy in isolation, the X-Ray shows the whole at once, so design can begin from understanding, not assumption.

What the X-Ray Maps

Four elements. One system.
