Financial Planning

Your Certified Financial Planner® is committed to understanding your goals and uncovering your financial blind spots. We develop a goal-based financial plan to solve your budgeting, investing, retirement planning and many other needs, then communicate regularly to ensure progress.

Goal based financial planning allows us to succeed together by setting short term goals and reviewing progress at regular intervals. The process works by achieving incremental steps toward a long term goal, while making course corrections when circumstances inevitably change.

OUR FINANCIAL PLANNING SERVICES REFLECT YOUR GOALS

  • Personal – We review family records, personal risk tolerance, budgeting, debt management and financial goals.
  • Retirement – We analyze current financial state, projected growth of income and future spending needs to provide investment plans designed to provide you with a comfortable retirement.
  • Investments – We analyze investment expectations, asset allocation, and their effect on your overall portfolio and ability to reach objectives and goals.
  • Tax – We analyze your income tax records, spending and planning for future spending, and impact of investment decisions on your current income tax and future tax liability. We may work closely with your tax advisor, if you choose, as we are not tax professionals.
  • Insurance – As a CFP® we review existing policies to ensure adequate insurance coverage.
  • Estate – We assist you in developing your long term strategies for estate issues including living trusts, powers of attorney, estate tax issues, and asset protection plans. You will need to retain an estate attorney to prepare appropriate documents if appropriate.
  • Goal-Based Savings and Other Objectives – We analyze current financial state and planning options in relation to providing a plan for goal-based savings such as education costs.
