1

Understand where you are

Every journey has a starting place. Let’s meet and discuss your finances, family and lifestyle so your journey will be structured around where you are today. 

2

Identify where you want to be

Everyone has a different vision for retirement and their estate. Our discussion will identify where you want to be so we can create a plan that will get you there.

3

Retirement plan tailored to you

Retirement financial plans are detailed strategies that consider ongoing income, wealth growth, health care spending, legacy planning and estate planning. We’ll balance each of these components in a transparent plan.

4

Ongoing review and monitoring

Change is a constant – in your life and in the world around you. It’s unreasonable (and not financially wise) to keep your retirement plan static, so we’ll routinely review where you are at in your financial journey and compare it to our projections.

5

Adjust and repeat

When your financial plan requires adjustments, we’ll outline our reasoning for any changes and let you know. Then we’ll continue to review and monitor – and always keep you in the loop. After all, it’s your retirement.
