Comprehensive Financial Planning
I believe clients of all ages and financial well-being would benefit from the creation, implementation, and adherence to a financial plan. Please see how I can help you achieve your financial goals through my four step process.
Step 1: Complementary Discovery Meeting
I begin with a no-pressure meeting designed to get a better understanding of the client's wants, needs, concerns, and goals. I look to understand the client's background, family structure, occupation, and experience with wealth management. From there, I dig deeper in exploring more about the client's current financial situation, risk tolerance, and investment preferences.
Step 2: Provide Tailored Advice
Using the information from our discovery meeting, I will begin to build a comprehensive financial strategy to meet the needs of the client, and address goals and risk tolerance. I also use this as an opportunity to provide the client deeper insight and education so they have a strong understanding of the plan and the strategies being utilized.
Step 3: Implement the Plan
Once the client approves the plan built for them, progress begins. Tangible progress will be made as client adherence to the plan becomes vital. Client goals become one step closer to reality as financial health becomes stronger.
Step 4: Continuously Monitor and Update
We will meet regularly to make updates that adjusts the plan to most accurately represent the dynamic lives of clients. Life changing events like births, weddings, selling of property, and strong market performance will allow goals to be adjusted higher. Capitalizing on these opportunities will allow for the formation of new goals.
