My Process
As your dedicated wealth management financial advisor, my role is to tailor a personalized financial strategy which fits your unique, individual needs. In my experience working with clients, I have developed an step by step approach to service:
Discovery
We begin with an in depth discussion to understand what is important to you, your family and your legacy. I will then ask a host of qualitative and quantitative questions and will request supporting documentation to get a complete picture of your financial situation.
Strategize
After review of the information collected, I will prepare a comprehensive financial plan and will include recommendations and key next action steps.
Implement
With your approval, we will begin to implement the plan. This often encompasses a broad range of strategies from investments and lending to retirement and estate planning. I will work with you to establish timelines and checklists, in addition to providing ongoing updates to make sure you are on track with your goals.
Track Progress
Finally, I will constantly monitor your assets and analyze your investment performance and financial plan seeking to ensure your goals are being met. In order to stay well informed of any changes in your circumstances, I will keep a high level of communication with you and make sure your concerns and requests are always addressed.
