Our Process
A comprehensive financial plan covers six areas of money: Cash-Flow Management, Risk Management, Investment Planning, Tax Planning Strategies, Retirement Planning, and Estate Planning. Throughout the planning process my team and I will review of your goals and concerns related to these areas of money:
Our process begins with a complimentary consultation, or what we call an "Interview Meeting".
This meeting is intended to make sure we are a fit as client/planner. Upon agreement to work with one another, then the next meeting will consist of date gathering. A plan can only be as good as the data that is gathered, therefore, the more detailed we are in gathering documents and information the more accurate the results.
In our third meeting, we analyze the output and see visuals of what your data represents. This will give an idea if you are on track for your goals or if there are shortfalls in your current scenario.
Once the data has been analyzed, our team will develop recommendations to show you how to accomplish your financial goals.
The final two steps are the most critical in ensuring your goals are achieved: “Implementation” and “Review”.
Once our team prepares the recommendations and you, as the client agree that you wish to implement the strategies proposed, we begin to implement the planning. Our final stage in the process, is to meet quarterly and review your progress.
A financial plan is ever-changing as people lives are not static... There will be financial changes that come about in your daily life and as your planners, we will be here to help you adapt to those changes.
“Plans are of little importance, but planning is essential.”
- Winston Churchill
