How We Can Help
The process focuses on you, your family, and your career - where you are today, where you want to be tomorrow, and strategies when you or the market pivot. Working together, we develop the strategies to achieve and navigate life's challenges, and to help you make more informed wealth decisions
Goal Setting
We begin with an in-depth conversation identifying what is important to you, your family, and your legacy. By learning your values, your decision-making process, and identifying any foreseen or unforeseen circumstances that will further enhance or adversely affect you, your family, and your legacy, we are better able to develop and implement a strategy best suited to your financial goals. Lastly, we collect important financial information and identify your top priorities.
Strategy Development
Next, we conduct a detailed financial analysis using industry standard techniques, further enhanced with proprietary planning and risk analysis tools. The developed financial plan with detailed recommendations will help guide you build, preserve, protect, and transfer your wealth. This analysis serves as the foundation for your initial plan, as well as a basis for future wealth management decisions.
Financial Plan Presentation
A detailed plan presentation includes, but is not limited to asset allocation, investment strategies, estate planning, federal and state tax minimization strategies, complex issue recommendation and an in-depth conversation. If we need to redefine any of the strategies, a subsequent meeting is held. Once we agree to the plan in its entirety, we can then identify specific investments and set up our dialogue going forward.
Implementation
Upon your approval, we'll begin to implement the strategies outlined in your plan. Once your assets have been transferred to Morgan Stanley, we review the details of your new statement, introduction to all the new tools and resources available to you. There is a learning curve, and we are available to you work with you and for you.
First Class Service
We are committed to delivering first-class service that emphasizes ongoing communication through face-to-face meetings throughout the year and phone calls when you need guidance.
