Working With You
We use a four-step process to uncover your most important goals, so that, we may design and implement appropriate strategies to help plan for your future.
Listen and Understand
We will begin with an in-depth conversation where we will listen carefully to understand what is important to you, your family, and your legacy. We learn about the values that shape your decisions and identify any challenges and circumstances unique to your situation.
Analyze and Assess
Next, we will review your current and future financial situation, determine the likelihood of reaching your goals and address any potential shortfalls or the impact of unexpected life events. In this step, we may also contact your CPA and estate attorney to understand your existing estate plan, so we can help ensure the strategies we recommend are cohesive and fully coordinated.
Propose and Implement
Here, we will present a tailored wealth management plan with specific strategies designed to achieve your particular goals. Upon your approval, we'll set into motion a course of action that strives to align your values and vision.
