Develop an Understanding
The purpose of our initial meetings is to develop a mutual understanding of what your goals are, what your current financial situation is, and what you are looking for in an advising relationship. Additionally, it will allow me to explain what my team and I offer, what our process and strategy is, and how we work with you to help you achieve your goals.
In this stage, we will discuss short-term, midterm, and long term goals, create a financial plan around these goals, and develop a strategy to put this plan into action.

Implementation
Based on the results we agreed upon in the financial plan, we create a customized asset allocation targeting the best risk adjusted return possible to fit your needs and risk tolerance. Depending on the financial stage you are in, whether that's wealth accumulation or coming up on retirement, this allocation will be tailored to your needs and is designed to help you to feel comfortable with your financial future.
In doing this, we will analyze how much risk you are comfortable taking as well as what is necessary to achieve your goals.

Ongoing Review
After we have created your financial plan, created a customized asset allocation, and helped you invest your money to align with this allocation, we meet with you a couple times a year to review your accounts, update your financial plan, and see if there is anything additional that we can help you with.
We know managing your assets can be stressful and time consuming. It is our mission to take that weight off of your shoulders and help you feel comfortable in your financial future.
