OUR PROCESS
As the financial world becomes more complex and investment choices increase, careful planning and consideration becomes more important to help you achieve your goals. Our role is to help you create a strategy that lays out a path to a successful financial future. The following steps were developed to achieve your financial goals:
1. Setting Your Financial Objectives
Through a process of discovery and discussion, we will ask a series of detailed questions to understand and articulate your specific financial goals. Together, we'll examine your current and future liabilities, income sources and cash flow needs, while considering critical factors that may influence your overall strategy. These will include your tolerance for risk, tax concerns, liquidity needs and time horizon.
2. Creating Your Strategy
From this ongoing dialogue, we'll analyze your current situation and begin to develop a detailed action plan with recommendations to help you effectively build, protect, and transfer your wealth. This analysis will serve as the foundation for building your initial plan, as well as future wealth management decisions.
3. Implementing Your Strategy
Once we've discussed and refined your strategy, we will begin to execute your investment plan. In this step, we may also recommend several wealth management strategies to help preserve your assets, while positioning them to pass to loved ones and personal charitable interests. These strategies may encompass cash flow management strategies, risk management strategies, as well as estate, trust, and philanthropic services.
4. Reviewing Objectives and Performance
After we put your wealth management plan into action, we'll set up a variety of tools to help ensure you have immediate access to your account information. Markets and personal needs evolve over time, so we will set up regular, ongoing meetings to help ensure your plan remains on schedule to achieve your specific financial goals.
