Financial Planning
Financial peace of mind.
A financial planner helps you understand how to use your finances to live the life you want to live. In other words, they can help you see a clear path toward your goals and bring order to your financial life. What would it feel like to use financial planning to identify what steps you need to take to reach your goals?
A plan allows you to "Dream it Forward" and imagine what your life might be like, for example, in five years. Then, we work with you to pinpoint your values, and prepare for the "what ifs." Case in point, what age you retire or how much you want to travel.
This is not a one-size-fits-all world. We believe the best way to avoid running out of money or being forced to make painful lifestyle cuts is to have a financial plan. Our Custom Financial Blueprint outlines where you are in your financial journey, where you want to be, and the route between the two.
You can have real confidence you won’t have to sacrifice your dignity or run out of money.
Dream it forward.
What's Included in Financial Planning?
In our experience, you need confidence, the wealth to support your lifestyle, and freedom from stress. The way we start you on the path to achieving these things is through a Custom Financial Blueprint®. Our Blueprint is a plan that can help you find confidence and move you from confusion to clarity.
Our five-meeting structure is designed to walk you through a custom financial plan with minimal stress and maximum results. Each meeting lasts between 60 and 90 minutes and covers one phase of the planning journey. As life progresses, we are right there with you, assisting you in adapting to changes and ensuring your end goal remains achievable. This means annual investment management and financial planning reviews and regular communication.
