the Reckoning
Reckon. Reconcile. Create.
most wealth is managed. very little is reckoned with
The most consequential decision of your life deserves more than financial planning.
The Reckoning is an interdisciplinary process that examines your life as a whole: your values, relationships, work, resources, obligations, inheritance, ambitions, and legacy. WeReckon your financial assets, but also your attention, time, emotional commitments, family systems, inherited assumptions, and the future your choices are already creating.
Most successful people have advisors for their investments, estate plans, careers, business, and health. Few have a space to ask whether all of those domains are expressing the same underlying will.
That is the purpose of The Reckoning.
To reckon with your comprehensive worth is to become available to imagination, to grief, to joy, to courage, to changing course, to building something new.
Become available to what matters.

About
Our founders, Jax Brown and Eunice Ndungu, met at a middle Eastern airport on roller-skates, one from Nairobi, Kenya, working as a trans-national in Qatar, and the other from a Northwest suburb of Chicago. They were instantly kindred, becoming dear friends and international colleaugues.
Both women share a passion for communication systems, strength and fitness, personal growth, and pathways to a liberated world.
Ndungu's training in supply chain management gave her a close view of how global systems shape lives, livelihoods, and landscapes, sparking a lasting commitment to material origins and ethical trade.
Brown comes to We Reckon a mathematician by training, with 30 years of successful entrepreneurship and 22 years of leadership and invention in post-capitalist financial spaces, including: solidarity investment, housing innovation, nonprofit governance, collaborative meeting facilitation, employee ownership, public banking advocacy, capital fundraising and political action.
