Our Process
Focus on what matters most, knowing you have a financial partner guiding you to and through retirement. Our process looks at every area of your financial life to help you pursue a work-optional lifestyle. Initially, we take four steps:
Fit Meeting
Partnership between advisors and clients is no light commitment – we must jointly ensure we’re a good fit to work together long-term.
Discover
Get to know us and let us learn more about you through our Discover meeting, established to set a foundation for our partnership.
Design
We’ll do some homework and draft an individualized plan for us to then meet about, discuss, and Design a plan you’re confident in.
Deploy
Take action together! With our jointly designed plan and strategy, we solidify our partnership by taking the next steps toward your goals.
The philosophy behind our process is built on FORM:
Family: Your Number One
Whether it is getting the last child through college or recognizing that you've "arrived" and need to discuss family legacy and succession, family is always the driving force around and #1 on the why list on your financial journey.
Occupation: Your Work - Your Choice
Some of our clients have their retirement date written on the calendar and all efforts are working towards that goal. Some clients are already retired, so preserving lifestyle and mitigating risk are paramount. Still other clients tell us they’re not interested in retiring not interested in retiring from their “purpose in life” and so strive to achieve a “work optional lifestyle." Whatever your choice, we never lose sight of getting you there. This is #2 on your why list.
Recreation: Your Bucket List
When all things and all people have been taken care of and your journey has been successful, we talk about you bucket list: The things you’ve been putting off until now. This is #3 on your why list! It’s time to enjoy the spoils of a journey and life well lived.
Money: How We Get There
Money is certainly what we do at our firm and we take it very seriously. We are deeply committed to our clients around all things financial. What we understand and communicate to our clients is that money is never more than the vehicle or the how.
We want to focus on the why above the how because that’s what matters most in your individual journey to financial independence.
Putting it Together: Our Services
When we first meet, we'll each determine there is a Fit to work together. If we agree there's a match we move to the Discover phase where we learn about goals and situation. Then we Design a plan that is customizable throughout your life and Deploy this strategy together.
We will look at your life & financial situation through our process pillars, which are the services we offer, and create something unique for you.
