We Can Build Your Financial Plan in 6 Steps:
Build Trust
Build Trust
Building trust takes time, but it starts with getting to know each other. Our advisors and CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professionals want to know your story, your interests, and your vision for the future. We will also take time to share our story and to answer any questions you have about us and our firm. We strive to build long-term relationships with all our clients, and it starts with total transparency about what you need and how we work.
Establish Your Financial Situation and Objectives
Establish Your Financial Situation and Objectives
The next step is to gather as much information about your financial situation and goals as possible. It is important to establish a clear picture of your assets, liabilities, cash flow/income needs, insurance coverage, investments, and tax strategies. This discussion helps establish where you stand today.
The next part of this step is to discuss where you want to go. Whether your goals include buying a second home, paying for a grandchild’s college education, or simply establishing secure cash flows for the duration of your retirement, we will help you pursue your objectives. We finish this step by discussing your comfort level when it comes to taking risks.
Determine the Areas of Focus for the Plan
Determine the Areas of Focus for the Plan
We will consider all aspects of your financial situation to determine what your plan needs to address. The graphic illustrates the many potential areas of focus. A financial plan may focus on just a few of these categories or perhaps all ten of them. It all depends on your specific financial situation and objectives. No two clients are the same.
Analysis and Strategy Building
Analysis and Strategy Building
Our team of CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professionals and Chartered Financial Analyst® professionals will analyze your specific financial situation to determine optimal steps forward. We utilize various financial planning tools to run simulations examining tax efficiency, cash flow scenarios, growth and volatility outcomes, insurance opportunities, exit and estate planning strategies (if applicable), and more. We take time to consider myriad possibilities and solutions.
Formally Present the Financial Plan and Implement Recommendations
Formally Present the Financial Plan and Implement Recommendations
We build a financial plan document explaining our recommendations and the investment strategies we propose to pursue your long-term goals. In many cases, we serve as the financial planner and investment manager for your liquid assets, and we coordinate with your other advisors (CPA, estate and trust attorneys, tax advisor, insurance agents, etc.) to ensure all aspects of the plan are implemented. Of course, during this step we will also take as much time needed to explain our recommendations and answer any questions you have.
Monitoring the Financial Plan on an Ongoing Basis
Monitoring the Financial Plan on an Ongoing Basis
Establishing a financial plan is not a one-time event – it’s an ongoing process. Over time, your goals, needs, and financial situation may change, and we may need to adjust your financial plan accordingly. We strive to speak with our clients at least once a quarter and perform routine reviews on financial plans, to help ensure you remain on track to reach your long-term goals.
