In this way, we can provide you with options that are oriented towards your values and unique life circumstances.
Lay the Groundwork
STEP 1:
In our first meetings together, we’ll lay a foundation for moving forward. We’ll get to know all about you, your life and what you care most about. You’ll be asked questions like “What do you want to achieve in retirement?” and “What are your goals through financial planning?” We will also analyze if your portfolio is aligned with your Risk Number. You can also ask us all about how we work, what our approach is, or anything else on your mind.
Present Your Care Plan

After reviewing your documents, accounts, and the goals you’ve outlined, our team will create a financial plan with recommendations to close any gaps. We’ll walk you through your potential paths and discuss how they connect to your objectives, and we'll present potential solutions to address issues.

At this stage, we’ll implement your comprehensive plan, and you’ll be prepared with any steps to take on your end. If need be, we may collaborate with additional professionals, such as your estate attorney or CPA.
