Process
A mentor once told me that clients will tell you what they want — you just have to listen. So, we do.
When helping you plan for your financial future, we follow a simple 5-point process created to ensure each individual clients’ goals are met in the most effective way possible.
The first step in our client-advisor relationship involves getting to know you and your goals. Before moving forward, our team will address your concerns, answer questions, and identify your future financial objectives.
We believe that if a plan is not properly organized, its chances of success are diminished. For this reason, the next stage of our process is to ensure all of your accounts, documents, and flows of money are coordinated through the use of our wealth portal.
In order to understand where you are going, we need to understand where you currently are. To do so, our advisors look at the material reported in monthly or quarterly statements and in semi-annual or annual reviews and also consider your investment allocations and retirement income projections. This exploration stage helps us better understand your current finances so we can create a plan that best meets your needs.
At this point in the process, we are ready to take action and get things done, whatever they may be. Whether it is meeting with an attorney, talking to accountants, discussing life insurance, or anything else, our team works with you to take the next steps.
Working with us means implementation of a plan is not the end. To continue moving you toward your financial goals, we monitor your accounts, make necessary changes to your plan, expand policies, and more, to ensure you are constantly adapting to changing circumstances and optimizing your financial standing.
