Financial clarity
when it matters most
I help individuals and their legal teams navigate the financial complexity of California divorce — with rigorous analysis, clear deliverables, and a calm, grounded approach.
"Divorce asks you to make some of the most consequential financial decisions of your life at exactly the moment when clear thinking is hardest. Building a team you trust isn't giving up control — it's how you take it back."

Practice
Clear, objective divorce financial analysis
I offer fee-only financial analysis — no products, no commissions, no conflicts. Every engagement is built around giving you and your attorney the clearest possible financial picture.
Full Divorce Financial Analysis
Comprehensive review of all marital assets, debts, income, and future projections. Includes marital balance sheet, property division scenarios, and settlement comparison.
Limited Scope Analysis
Focused analysis on a single financial issue — a pension, a business interest, a cash flow question. For when you need targeted expertise on one piece of the puzzle.
Mediation Support
Real-time financial analysis during mediation. I help translate complex financial data into plain language so both parties can make clear, informed decisions at the table.
Expert Witness & Court Support
Court-ready financial declarations, expert reports, and testimony support. Prepared with the clarity and rigor your attorney needs to make a strong financial argument.
Retirement & QDRO Analysis
Pension valuation, retirement account division strategies, and QDRO review. Fair division that protects both parties from unnecessary tax exposure.
Post-Divorce Financial Planning
Budget modeling and cash flow projections for life after divorce. Understanding what your financial future looks like before you sign anything.
Contact me to discuss fees and scope for your situation.
A financial expert who makes your job easier
I work alongside family law attorneys as a neutral or party-retained financial expert — delivering clear, court-ready analysis on deadline, without the drama.
Court-ready deliverables
Marital balance sheets, property division scenarios, cash flow analyses, retirement account valuations, tax impact summaries, and financial declarations — formatted for court or mediation.
Collaborative working style
I coordinate directly with attorneys, CPAs, and appraisers. I communicate proactively on timelines, flag issues early, and work to your deadlines — not mine.
Deep CA community property knowledge
Fluent in California community property rules — including Moore-Marsden tracing, separate property analysis, transmutation issues, and commingled asset problems.
Flexible engagement models
Full case engagement, single-issue referrals, or mediation day support. Flat retainer or hourly, depending on what your client's case requires.
CFO-level rigor.
Human-centered approach.
I'm Tali Reicher, a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst (CDFA®) based in Oakland, CA. I bring 18+ years of senior finance leadership — CFO, controller, financial analyst — across complex multi-entity organizations to one of the most financially consequential moments in my clients' lives.
I became a CDFA® because I know, from experience, how disorienting divorce can be. And I know how much it matters to have someone who can cut through the financial noise, give you a clear picture of where you actually stand, and help you make decisions you won't regret.
My practice is fee-only. No products, no commissions, no conflicts. I am not a broker, a planner selling investments, or a lawyer. My job is to give you the most accurate, complete financial analysis possible — and to explain it in plain language.
