Wealth Planning

The Wealth Planning engagement is for people wanting to build a long-term relationship with a financial planner who cares about their future.

In this engagement, we provide unbiased financial planning and investment recommendations tailored to your unique needs and implementation services. We do not ignore assets we are not managing. Our approach is holistic in nature to help you build your net worth and meet the objectives you want to achieve in life.

In the first year of the Wealth Planning engagement, there is a systematic approach to the series of sequential meetings for your ongoing financial plan. Our approach is to not overwhelm you with information, but rather use smaller, focused meetings to meet your objectives. Think of these meetings as small, digestible bites. Depending on your specific situation, some meetings can be combined together.

In renewal years, you will typically have at least two scheduled meetings.

In addition to our scheduled meetings, additional phone and video consultations and email are included in this engagement at no additional cost. We are here to help support you as your life changes.

RENEWAL YEARS

There are at least three topics to be addressed every year: tax planning, portfolio update, and year-end review. These topics do not necessarily need standalone appointments. Most importantly, we want you to feel secure about your money and to contact us before any big decision involving money. We are here to help support you.
