Organize
Financial planning is a process. Not knowing where to start that process is not an uncommon problem, but it’s a solvable one. The best way for you to get where you need to go is to figure out where you are. That’s not as hard as it seems.
Just as a personal organizer might look at what’s in your closet, help you figure out a working system, then bring the parts together; we help you sort through the pieces of your financial estate, figure out what’s working and what’s not, then help you fit the pieces together. Organizing your financial estate is the first part of the process. It’s foundational in developing a solid financial plan.
Plan
Planning, planning, and more planning. Tracking your course to and through retirement requires lots of it. That’s because without a good plan, achieving financial independence for retirement is an elusive goal. Good planning requires more than sound investing because your financial stability depends on more than your investment accounts.
Though investment selection and portfolio management are significant parts of what we do, we also focus on comprehensive retirement planning. By following a five-pillar approach to financial planning--investing, income planning, risk management, tax planning and estate planning—we can help you customize a retirement plan that not only meets your specific goals, but takes you through all stages of retirement.
