Comprehensive Financial Planning

Comprehensive Financial Planning:

Financial planning is the road map to your future. Do you know where your next dollar is going? Is it helping to build flexibility so you can start that side business you’ve been dreaming about? Is it working in a tax-smart manner to fund your goal of retiring on-time? Or is it paying down debt in the most-efficient way possible?

Financial planning is an empowering process. In our initial year together, we will look at your entire financial picture. Where you want to go depends on your goals. We’ll first tackle the items that keep you up at night, and then we’ll scan your plan to highlight any issues or vulnerabilities. From there, we’ll make the best recommendations and introduce strategies tailored to your situation. Once we have your baseline plan in place, we’ll work together to implement solutions and continue to monitor the progress of your plan. Here’s what to expect:

  • Initial 30 minute complimentary consultation

  • 4+ meetings over the next 12 months to discover, uncover, analyze, and make recommendations in all areas of your financial life

  • Your own financial dashboard and secure login

  • Analysis of cash flow and assistance with budgeting

  • Debt assessment, student loan analysis and repayment strategies

  • In-depth college funding analysis

  • Investment review and advice, including the development of an Investment Policy Statement

  • Retirement planning and distribution strategies

  • Social Security Optimization

  • Insurance review and recommendations

  • Maximization of employee benefits

  • Tax planning and projections

  • Estate planning

  • Charitable planning

  • For ongoing planning, we will usually meet twice a year to monitor your plan and stay on top of annual items (such as employee benefits, tax planning, charitable contributions, income recertification, Roth conversions, etc.). However, we aim to function as your thought partner. When things come up, as they do, we are always available by email or for additional meetings!

  • Recommendations you can trust. As a fiduciary, we are required to act in your best interest. In a commitment to objectivity, we don’t sell products or receive commissions on any of the recommendations we make.
