How it works
Step 1: Start the conversation.
First, we talk. We get to know you, your goals, and your dreams. We help you prioritize the resources you have so you get organized and take control.
Step 2: Build your personal financial plan.
Next, we build a custom financial plan centered on your life goals. Your plan is based on your actual resources and focuses on what you are trying to achieve. A clear picture emerges so you can see where you want to be, but also how to get there.
Step 3: Take action.
Nothing happens until you a plan is set into motion and periodically reviewed. Perhaps our most invaluable service is effective execution. We help people stay accountable to their plans.
How much do you charge?
Financial planning is a standalone fee-for-service. We do not have asset management minimums, nor do we use gimmicks and high-pressure sales tactics. Personalized investment management, insurance, and securities implementation are provided as optional and separate services for an additional cost.
