Financial Planning Process
Our mission is to make a difference in clients’ lives by implementing sound strategies that can help generate more income in retirement allowing clients’ to focus on their goals and aspirations.
In order to help clients establish and pursue their financial goals, we have created a package of financial planning services designed to assist you with defining, planning for, and setting your financial goals.
OUR FINANCIAL PLANNING PROCESS CONSISTS OF SIX CRITICAL STEPS:
Step 1: Preliminary Financial Planning Meeting
Step 2: Financial Plan Engagement Meeting OR Implementation Meeting
Step 3: Data Gathering Meeting
Step 4: Financial Plan Presentation Meeting
Step 5: Implementation Meeting(s)
Step 6: Ongoing Tracking and Financial Plan Updates
FINANCIAL PLANNING STEPS 1 THROUGH 3
The Preliminary Planning Session is where you will obtain answers to your financial questions. You can prepare for your Preliminary Financial Planning Meeting by completing the following:
- Preliminary Financial Planning Meeting Agenda

Fees for Financial Plans, if recommended, are quoted at the end of the first meeting and are based on an estimate of the time involved and the complexity of your situation.

YOUR SOURCE FOR QUALIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNING
Your financial picture is complex and requires the knowledge of several different types of professional advisors. Some things we do not prepare are:
