The Process

step one 

 
Meet and review your overall financial picture and goals
There is no cost for this initial 1-hour meeting as we get to know each other and determine how we would like to work together.
 
 step two 

 
We review your information and make recommendations 
This will range across a wide variety of financial topics including: budgeting, risk management/insurance, investments, tax considerations, and planning for retirement, education, estate, etc.

 
 
 step three 

 
We help you implement the recommendations. We believe that serving you is our business. Maintaining a solid partnership with you helps ensure we can adapt to the changes in the environment or your goals.  This includes quarterly or semi-annual checks for updates or changes.  Feel free to contact us anytime you have a financial decision, so we can help ensure you have wisely evaluated the options available.
