A Structured Planning Process
At The Oplotnik Group, we are committed to helping every client understand the new challenges they face and how to meet those challenges successfully.
Step 1: Introductory Meeting
Our relationship begins with an initial discussion aimed towards getting to know you, your lifestyle, and your future goals.
Step 2: Discovery Meeting
During the discovery meeting, we will work together to establish your financial goals by reviewing your current financial situation and developing an appropriate risk tolerance that will ultimately help you achieve the financial outcome you envision for yourself.
Step 3: Financial Plan Presentation
Financial plan presentations map out essential factors that play into your financial success such as your employee and employer contributions, liquidity events, and insurance coverage. Examining all relevant financial information provides a holistic asset allocation analysis for all of your accounts ensuring a comprehensive financial plan.
Step 4: Action Items / Next Steps
After the financial plan presentation, we will follow up with you regarding our analysis and recommendations, which may include adjustments to your financial plan, investment allocation, company benefits and insurance coverage.
Step 5: Implementation Meeting
The implementation meeting focuses on creating prospective strategies custom designed for your specific needs. Recommended changes could include logistics, tax impact, asset allocation adjustments, and saving and benefit modifications.

About John Hiles
John's entire career has been about identifying, developing, and implementing solutions for individuals. Each person has different goals and needs - finding out the "why" behind those goals and needs is what motivates him. John left community banking in 2014 to begin my career as a financial advisor helping clients build plans that achieve their goals. The details of those plans and goals require subtle tweaks, insights and adjustments. As we work through these details together, all of John's clients have a goal-centered plan that is tracked and adjusted, throughout their lives.
The best days in this business are when John gets to tell clients - You did it! That comes from having a clearly defined plan that is reviewed (perhaps adjusted) on a regular basis. John's ideal clients value this process. He finds he can best serve them through all the uncertainties of life.
John's "why" stems from his family: his wife Dawn and their 9 year old daughter Charlotte. The Hiles' thoroughly enjoy supporting various organizations such as Care to Learn, Crosslines, and their local church. In their free time, John and his family enjoy traveling and like to spend time in their butterfly garden at their home in Republic. They currently have host plants for Monarch and Spicebush Swallowtail caterpillars, and are looking forward to expanding this slice of homegrown happiness in the coming years.
