Financial Confidence Starts With a Plan.
Financial strategies for healthcare professionals, families, and business owners who want to build, protect, and enjoy what they’ve worked hard to create.
At Sir 4te Holdings, we help clients bring clarity to important financial decisions from retirement and wealth accumulation to protection, college funding, retirement income, and legacy planning. Led by Bertrand Fote, MD, MBA, FACEP, CF², a practicing emergency physician who has worked in financial services since 2012, our approach begins with understanding
where you are, where you want to go, and what matters most to you.
Healthcare Professionals
You Take Care of Others. Who’s Helping You Take Care of Your Financial Future?
A successful healthcare career can create tremendous financial opportunity and considerable complexity. Multiple employers, 401(k)s and 403(b)s, pensions, W-2 and 1099 income, insurance needs, family responsibilities, college expenses, career transitions, and limited time can make it difficult to see how all the pieces fit together. Healthcare isn’t simply a market we serve. It’s a world we know. Dr. Fote has spent more than two decades practicing emergency medicine and serving in healthcare leadership while also working in financial services since 2012. That combination gives Sir 4te a distinctive perspective on the financial lives of healthcare professionals.

Bertrand Fote, MD, MBA, FACEP, CF²
Physician. Financial Professional. Entrepreneur.
Many people know Dr. Bertrand Fote through medicine, but his work in financial services began in 2012. For more than two decades, he has practiced emergency medicine and served in physician and healthcare leadership roles while developing experience across financial services, business, and entrepreneurship. That combination provides a perspective particularly relevant to healthcare professionals and other busy professionals who may have spent years building successful careers without having the same amount of time to coordinate their financial lives. Through Sir 4te Holdings, Dr. Fote helps clients understand where they are, define where they want to go, and explore strategies aligned with their individual goals. Financial success isn’t simply about how much you earn. It’s about what your money allows you to do.
Financial success is about what your money allows you to do.

Good Financial Planning Starts With Good Questions
You don’t need every answer before you begin. These are some of the questions we can explore together.
Am I on track for retirement?
We look at your savings, expected expenses, retirement timeline, and other resources to help you understand where you stand and what may need attention.
How will I replace my paycheck when I retire?
We explore how Social Security, pensions, employer plans, savings, and other assets could work together to support your retirement income needs.
What should I do with retirement accounts from previous employers?
We can review your available options, including leaving an account where it is, moving it to a new employer plan, or rolling it into an IRA, along with the relevant costs and considerations.
Can I save for my children’s education without sacrificing retirement?
We help you weigh education costs alongside your retirement goals and consider funding approaches that reflect your priorities and resources.
Is my family adequately protected?
We review the coverage and financial resources you have in place, then discuss potential gaps in light of the people who depend on you.
What do I want my wealth to accomplish?
Whether your goal is flexibility, family security, charitable giving, or a lasting legacy, defining its purpose helps guide the strategies you consider.
What Does Financial Freedom Look Like to You?
It may mean retiring at 60, reducing your workload, educating your children, protecting your family, creating dependable retirement income, building lasting wealth, or leaving a meaningful legacy. Whatever financial freedom means to you, the first step is understanding where you stand today. Your goals guide the strategy. The strategy guides the solutions.
