The Process
Regardless of your plan’s complexity, there are six fundamental steps to take in order to achieve your goals and objectives. These steps set the foundation for our long-term partnership in which the initial planning is only the beginning. Understanding who you are and where you want to go is our first priority. As your guide along your journey, we will help you alter the course as necessary, due to changes in the world, major life events, and any other changes that you may encounter. Our goal is to help you simplify your plan, bring clarity, and empower your decision making.
Working with You
Working as part of your planning team with your other advisors, we often become the central contact for our clients. Most clients prefer having one point of contact for all their planning issues and coordination of their strategic life plan. Working with your other professional advisors allows us to best coordinate strategy and the implementation of your financial plan.
