Our Process
As a team of CFP® professionals, financial planning is the cornerstone of everything we do. Our detail-oriented planning process and educational approach to wealth management, help pave the way to virtually all of your financial goals.
Getting to know you
We first take time to understand your financial life and all its complexities. We’ll discuss your goals and can even help you develop new ones if needed. We will use the information you share to create a flexible financial plan.
Plan Integration
We want you to be confident about your plan and your future. To that end, we take an educational approach to wealth management and do our best to conceptually help simplify when needed. Before we invest, we make sure you fully understand the recommendations, strategy and costs involved.
Plan Development
The financial plan is often the foundation of our relationships. So, we think carefully and act prudently when developing it. We’ll use proprietary managed strategies that take the emotion out of investing as well as other resources available via Morgan Stanley’s open architecture investment platform. We can also consult with your existing team of professionals (including your CPA and attorney) to help create a synergy between various components of your financial life.
Ongoing Assessment
Change is a part of life, and it can impact both your goals and priorities. We’ll keep you informed with timely market updates and periodic performance reviews on a schedule that works for you. Taking advantage of flexibility built into the plan, we’ll make timely adjustments as new life events occur and your goals evolve. In an ever-changing economic and tax environment, we’ll also proactively present you with emerging opportunities that align with your long-term vision of success.
