You can sleep soundly at night, knowing that qualified financial advisors are working on a plan designed to help you reach the financial goals that will give you the lifestyle you deserve.
Our Financial Planning Process
Reach Out
Call, email, or stop by the office so we can get acquainted. We only need a little information to get you started on the path to success.
Get Organized
We know you’re busy and that organizing financial data is not at the top of your priority list. Instead, bring in the documents and files you have on hand, and we’ll sort through everything together. Whether you work better on paper or online, we can compile a clear picture of your current financial standing.
Explore Goals and Possibilities
With insight into your current financial position, it’s time to talk about the big picture and plan your finances. Working as a team, we’ll identify your financial and retirement goals, discuss what is realistically attainable and run through various scenarios for accomplishing these objectives.
Formulate Strategies and Tactics
While you ponder the future, we’ll be formalizing specific recommendations to help you realize those dreams. Our financial planning work is comprehensive, objective, and tailored to you.
Create Implementation Plan
It’s time to review our recommendations and agree on an action plan. We outline the steps and guide you through the process, explaining our proposed course of action in plain language so that you have a comprehensive understanding of your new financial plan.
Monitor and Recalibrate
Even the best-laid plans are subject to change and require flexibility. You keep us up to speed on life events that impact your plan, like a change in career or inheritance. We keep up to date on your financial position, which includes scrutinizing external factors, such as the ever-changing market and economy, and future financial planning so you stay on target to meet your financial goals.
Resources
Even knowing where to start with wealth management can seem impossible. While we’re always with you every step of the way, we also have some helpful tools to keep things organized if you want to prepare for our first meeting ahead of time.
