From experience we know every client has unique goals, needs, outlook on life, and vision of the future. Therefore, the financial planning process should be a highly customized experience, incorporating these qualities into your vision of financial independence.
We begin by collaborating with our clients to help them define what Financial Independence means to them. We take the time necessary, ask thoughtful questions and listen actively to their responses. For some that may mean creating a budget and savings strategy, buying a dream vacation home, providing an education to children and grandchildren, managing an inheritance, meeting the special needs of a family member, or retiring five years early. Others may be looking for help with employee stock-option decisions, retirement plan coordination, taxation considerations, or pension and deferred compensation evaluation. Still others may need assistance in developing an estate plan, diversifying investments, understanding employer benefits, or reviewing family business agreements and transfer plans - the list is endless and the decisions are uniquely your own.
