Step 1:  Initial meeting to get to know each other

Through an initial complimentary consultation, we work together to determine if we might be a good fit for a financial strategies relationship.  We give you an overview of our process and capabilities, answering any questions you may have.  We spend most of our time seeking to understand your general financial goals, needs and questions.  In a nutshell, we want to know where you're at, how you got there, and where you'd like to go.  The scope of our collaborative work may be a comprehensive or focused financial strategies, or we may work specifically in the area of investment or risk management strategies; it may involve individual, a couple, family, multi-generational or business planning.  If we mutually agree on the scope of a financial strategies relationship, we move to the next step in the process.

Step 2:  Gather information to understand your present situation and goals

Step 3:  Analyze and evaluate your information

Step 4:  Developing your personalized strategy

Based on our analysis, we develop recommendations in the context of selected alternative scenarios and propose strategies and solutions to assist you in reaching your financial goals.  We'll collaborate with you to confirm assumptions and get a sense of your thoughts about various strategies along the way.

Step 5:  Implementing your financial solutions and strategies

We work with you to determine how to best implement each aspect of your financial strategies.  This may involve collaboration with other financial professionals you currently engage (i.e. CPA, attorney) or recommending appropriate financial professionals to you if desired.  As a comprehensive financial services firm, we have the ability to use a wide array of providers and solutions to implement your investment, risk management, and estate and business planning strategies.

Step 6:  Monitoring your financial strategies on an ongoing basis

We'll continue to monitor the appropriate areas of your financial strategies and your progress over time, in accordance with the scope of our relationship.  We'll look to make updates as changes occur in your personal life or in the market overall, taking advantage of new strategies and solutions that may come available over time.  As we may change the scope of our relationship or need to make updates over time, we will most certainly revisit the other steps again - as indicated in the circular design at the top of the page.
