Our Approach

The 4-Step Plan to Financial Security

Discovery

Discovery

We will ask about your interests, values, goals, and personal and professional relationships to gain a deeper understanding of your individual situation. We will then review your financial picture to start creating your customized financial plan and investment portfolio, and answer any initial questions you may have. From there, we will begin building financial solutions specifically tailored to your needs.

Progress Meeting

Life Financial Plan

We will take the information you have shared with us and create your financial plan which will help answer important questions such as:

  • Where should I save my money?
  • When can I claim Social Security?
  • Am I entitled to claim my late spouse's Social Security benefits?
  • Do I need to review my estate plan?

Your custom plan will provide you with a comprehensive view of your financial situation, allowing you to evaluate all aspects while implementing optimal strategies for taxes, estate planning, college expenses, and various other considerations.

Tailored Investment Step 3

Tailored Investment Plan

After we have assessed where you are now and where you want to go, we build an investment plan that maximizes the probability of achieving all that is important to you. As fee-only, fiduciary advisors, we have access to thousands of investment solutions and objectively choose the best investments to help you reach your goals. We will work with you to create a portfolio that is in line with, not only your financial goals, but also your ideals, by incorporating socially conscious investments. If there is a mission that you are interested in supporting, we will work with you to make sure your portfolio reflects this.
