Financial Planning

Confidence...

Values and Goals...

driven process of planning. We don’t have you fill out a questionnaire; we have a conversation – many conversations to ensure we understand you.

Transparency and Accountability...

in execution of the plan empowers you to breathe easy and develop greater faith in your financial future.

What’s included in a financial plan?

Your Goals and Preferences...

(timing, risk etc…) are at the heart of planning and our recommendations. We account for the unknown and undesirable – so you will be taken care of no matter what happens.

Life Events...

such as retirement preparation, living in retirement, education, creating a legacy are considered, analyzed and our job is to make sure all aspects of your financial life are planned and executed.

Comprehensive and consistent monitoring...

along with any necessary adjustments, ensure we stay on track to reach your goals. We are completely transparent and are proactive in monitoring and providing guidance. We can’t control the uncertainty of the markets, but we can increase your faith in your plan through our comprehensive, values-based planning approach.

Disciplined Perspectives

The Financial Media Is Investors’ #1 Enemy...

the media is out to make a buck. They aren’t interested in helping investors make good decisions. They are only interested in your eyeballs.

Media Just Wants Us To Tune In...

the financial media will use information in a twisted way to get us emotionally charged. They sensationalize news, provide forecasts that are seldom accurate and leverage fear and greed.

Proactive, Consistent Disciplined Perspectives...

to help you ignore the noise, focus on the controllable and make thoughtful (not emotional) decisions. This is done in our meetings, through monthly content I share electronically and whenever emotions/anxiety is increased.
