Financial Planning is at the core of what we do. A CFP® professional values the importance of a sound financial plan combined with appropriate expertise to provide clients a roadmap to reach their goals. Regardless of where you are in life, we believe it is never too late to place a priority on designing or monitoring a well-designed plan with defined goals.

Our planning process is thorough, complete and consistent with the CFP® board’s process.

Common areas focused on in a financial planning relationship may include, but are not limited to:

• Net-Worth & Capital Sufficiency Analysis

• Cash Flow Planning

• Investment Planning

• Retirement Planning

• Income & Estate/Gift Tax Planning

• Wealth Transfer, Trust & Estate Planning

• Risk Management & Insurance Planning

• Business Planning

• Equity Compensation & Concentrated Stock Position Planning

• Charitable and Philanthropic Planning

• Debt Management Planning

• College Planning

• Special Needs Planning

We build, analyze and monitor plans by pairing our expertise with best-in-class planning tools and technology to provide comprehensive yet digestible reporting and plans for our clients. We embrace technology to augment our skills and provide clients with the solutions and well-developed plans they deserve.

We may assess where clients stand currently as well as develop multiple iterations projecting their financial lives moving forward. We may consider “what-if” scenarios and ultimately determine a level of confidence with the existing financial situation as well as several potential recommended courses of action. We may provide clients with deliverables with action items we can assist with in monitoring and executing.

For clients that we work with purely as financial planning clients (no investment management services provided), they pay a monthly financial planning fee. That fee typically ranges between $500 and $700 depending on client complexity, but may differ depending on each client’s unique situation and needs.
