Financial Planning
We offer two packages to start your Financial Planning process: Real-Time Planning and Full-Service Financial Planning. Both of these prepare you for a full picture of your current financial situation and how the future may unfold. We explore topics such as Cash Flow Management, Debt Management, College Savings, Financial Goals, Insurance, Investments, Retirement and Tax Planning. Of course we focus on areas that are critical to you. Real-Time Planning provides a great base for those individuals and families just starting out. Full-Service Financial Planning provides a more comprehensive view of all the relevant topics and future planning.
What is Real-Time Planning?
We take the time together to review your financial situation: get your immediate questions answered, create initial action items and make notes on where we need to do more work. The outcome from this meeting is a detailed list of any immediate action steps, and a one-page list of financial topics that we discussed. We make notes of any additional work that we decide may need to be taken together.
This is a very impactful process. By taking the minimum amount of time to review your situation, we can address the most important concerns and topics quickly. We immediately get started on the correct path for the future. It also sets the stage for any future work that we should be tackling. It’s a fantastic value to take initial steps on a successful future.
