Your financial plan should be as unique as you are.
Take a look at our planning process in the video below.
Here’s How We Can Help
Our four-meeting onboarding process is designed to help you identify your financial priorities, rank them, and assign a dollar value to each of them. Then, we go to work developing a step-by-step financial action plan designed to help you achieve them.
We perform an in-depth review of your important financial documents, such as W2s, tax returns, investment statements, equity compensation agreements, insurance contracts, mortgage statements, workplace benefits, etc. We then provide you with a detailed list of observations and recommendations based on our findings.
We incorporate all of a household’s accounts into the planning process to ensure each piece of our client’s financial life is working in concert with the other.
We collaborate with your tax preparer and any other wealth manager(s) to ensure you are receiving consistent advice across the board.
