Plan with confidence
my Process
My three-step planning process works to help identify and implement suitable financial strategies for helping my clients meet their needs and achieve their goals and objectives for their family, business, and legacy.
01
Start Smart
Get a Clear Understanding of Your Financial Life
First, we gain a thorough understanding of your current financial situation, goals, objectives, risk tolerance, and the key considerations that should be addressed in your retirement protection strategy.
Six Fundamental Financial Planning Considerations
Six key fundamental planning considerations can impact your financial goals now and in the future. The question is not if these will affect your finances, but to what degree. We evaluate your sentiment toward each consideration and quantify the potential effects on your assets over time. This allows us to build customized strategies to help you achieve your financial objectives for retirement.
Longevity
Outliving financial assets as the result of a longer life.
Inflation
Reduction in real purchasing power as the result of increasing cost of living.
Mortality
Loss of financial assets as the result of a partner’s or spouse’s death.
Liquidity
Limited access to assets to meet life’s unexpected financial needs.
Market
Unexpected reduction in the value of financial assets at the time of withdrawal.
Taxes
Decreasing income and assets and/or the impairment of legacy assets from increasing taxes.
