Our Process

DISCOVERY MEETING

Our Discovery Meeting is designed to help us gain a deep understanding of who you are and what you want to accomplish. In this meeting we will listen to what is important to you, identify your goals, take inventory of your current assets, and evaluate your level of comfort with risk and reward.

STRATEGY MEETING

We will carefully navigate the details of your custom financial plan and discuss what it will take to accomplish each of your goals. As we navigate, we will focus on the areas that are important to you: retirement, college funding, buying a new home, etc. We will discuss strategies to grow your assets tax efficiently and make recommendations for each type of investment that helps you accomplish your goals.

ONGOING REGULAR STRATEGY REVIEW MEETINGS

We build a custom communication plan so we can communicate with our clients based on their preferences. Strategy review meetings are an important part of your financial success as they continue to reinforce the commitment to accomplishing your goals. In your review meeting, we will update your financial plan with current values, goals and time horizons. Additionally, we will provide continued education on your investments and tax strategies.
