Financial Planning To Help You Navigate The Uncertainties Ahead And Avoid Common Costly Mistakes
You know that you do not want a one-dimensional approach that imposes the same solution on everyone. Here's how we put you at the center for your custom 6-Step Financial Planning Process:
Step 1 - Establishing and Defining the Client-Planner Relationship
This is our Introductory Session.
Here we explore whether financial planning will be helpful along with questions such as:
- What do you expect?
- What do I expect from the relationship?
- How am I compensated?
Step 2 - Gathering Data Including Your Goals
This is our Information Interview, where we listen to you.
We look at your statements and information such as the cost basis of investments and your IRA history. Even more important, we begin to create a full picture of you, your family, your investment objectives, your life goals and desires, and your deeply held family values.
We are especially interested in your answers to emotional questions such as:
- What are your dreams for your future and your family's?
- What about money is important to you?
Step 3 - Analyzing and Evaluating the Client's Financial Status
This step encompasses financial plan objectives and assumptions such as:
- Investment and Risk Analysis
- Review of the Financial Data
In addition, it includes Situation Analysis along with Problem Identification. Also, it generates Recommendations.
Step 4 - Developing and Presenting Financial Planning Recommendations and/or Alternatives
Simply, here we review your plan. The process moves forward carefully. This is a time when together we make initial decisions.
Step 5 - Implementing the Financial Planning Recommendations
Here we take time to meet with your other advisors such as your CPA to get full input into a direction. Then, we are ready to make decisions and take action.
Step 6 - Monitoring the Financial Planning Recommendations
This step undertakes a Review of the Plan Implementation.
Also, it ensures that you hear from us again and again because Investment Monitoring is a constant.
We meet with you annually, or more often if you like.
And Our Planning Does Not Stop Here: We Are Always Accessible.
We are in your corner to help to prevent you from making common costly mistakes.
