Our Five Step Process

If you choose to work with Garrison/McGuire, our wealth management approach focuses on you, your family, and your career – where you are today and where you want to go. Working together, we develop the strategies to help get you there, navigating life's challenges and helping you make more informed decisions about your wealth.

    Icon Image
    1. Introduction

    We begin with an informal conversation to understand your financial concerns and determine how we can add value. If we all agree to move forward, we'll schedule our next meeting and request important financial information.

    Icon Image
    2. Get To Know You Meeting

    We continue the dialogue by fostering an in-depth conversation where we learn about the values that shape your decisions and identify any unique circumstances. We also review the documents you've prepared and define your priorities.

    Icon Image
    3. Analysis & Plan Development

    Here, we utilize proprietary financial planning tools to develop a personalized and detailed plan with recommendations to help you grow, preserve and transfer your wealth.

    Icon Image
    4. Implementation

    In this step, we present appropriate strategies that are designed to work together to achieve your goals. Upon your approval, we open new accounts for you at Morgan Stanley and initiate our investment recommendations. We'll also begin to implement other strategies we've discussed. These often encompass tax minimization strategies, as well as risk management and estate planning techniques.

    Icon Image
    5. Ongoing Service

    Committed to premium service, we focus on developing a relationship that provides special value to you and your family. As we begin to execute each strategy, we'll set up tools so you have immediate access to your account information. And because markets and personal needs evolve over time, we set up ongoing meetings to ensure your plan remains on schedule to achieve your goals.

Financial Planning

Regardless of what stage your life is in - moving ahead in your career, enjoying retirement, or somewhere in between - as your Financial Advisors, we can help you achieve your financial goals.

Using a suite of tools that includes goal-specific analysis, we can work with you to create a realistic, holistic strategy that integrates the various aspects of your financial life, including your investments and cash management needs.

We can create your personal roadmap to help achieve and protect your goals — a framework that makes the connection between your life goals and your financial resources and provides a baseline for future discussions.

    Manage Investments

    We take care of your retirement accounts and other investments based on your comfort level with risk and your current tax circumstances, tailoring your financial strategy to your unique situation, needs, and goals.

    Icon Image
    Retirement

    Leading up to and through retirement, we help you identify the most appropriate ways to obtain the income you need and help ensure that you are on track to achieve for financial goals.

    Icon Image
    Insurance

    We take an extremely close look at your financial profile to decipher what type(s) of insurance most fit your needs and determine if your current insurance policies are best suited for you and your goals.

    Icon Image
    Manage Debt

    We thoroughly review your mortgage, car loans, credit cards, and any other debts that you may have in order to help determine where you can save on interest and create a timeline for your debt payments by prioritizing which ones should be paid off first.

    Icon Image
    Estate Planning

    Regardless of your current financial circumstances, it is crucial to have a backup plan for your money. We regularly review your finances with you and coordinate with your estate attorney to help ensure that your wishes are met in the most efficient and cost-effective way possible.
