Discuss the components of your plan and determine who will handle the actionable items and guide you each step of the way.

Breath Easy

Increase your clarity and reduce financial worries. We guarantee that by the end of this experience you will not be left without gaining something of great value.

Monitor Process

Financial Planning is an ongoing process, not a one time event. The numerous issues that surround us - tax, risk, investments, health, legislation, family - are ever changing. We will meet on a regular basis to stay ahead of the game and make sure the plan stays on target. Also, with our client portal and organizational binder you will be able to manage your financial life much more effectively in one easy, accessible destination.

OUR PROCESS

At our firm, we believe that clients recieve the greatest value through an ongoing relationship that is built on trust and mutual respect.

We help investors determine their objectives and providing customized solutions to help them towards achieving their goals. We discover what someone is trying to accomplish financially, show them what we believe to be the most efficient route, then assist them toward attempting to make those aspirations a reality. It is very important to us that our clients are highly involved in this process and their education is a priority.

Outcomes

Understanding

At the end of this process, we promise that you will have a clearer picture of your financial life. We provide a visual of your current financial plan by utilizing powerful financial planning software. This include, but is not limited to, estate and income projections, various risks and any gaps in planning.

Education

We will explore what specific knowledge will be needed for you to succeed by first thoroughly understanding your situation, then providing the necessary resources to facilitate your decisions and explaining the options and risks associated with each choice.

Objetivity

We bring insight from the outside to help you avoid emotionally driven decisions in important money matters by being available to consult with you at key life stages. We do the research necessary to ensure you have all the information to make an informed decision in the best interest for you and your family.

Access

Due to our independence, licensing and expertise, we can grant you access to powerful investments and concepts that most advisors cannot or do not offer. The time and knowledge it takes to stay abreast of the complex financial world that we live in is a full time commitment and unrealistic for an individual to perform. Let us take care of these tasks for you and inform you on the things that make sense for you.

Organization

We will help make better sense of your financial life by assisting you in getting your financial house in order. We do this at both the macro level (investments, insurance, estate, taxes, etc.) and the micro level (household cash flow, expenses, etc.).
