Our Wealth Planning Process

A thoughtful and thorough approach to helping you pursue financial well-being
Financial planning is at the very core of the life planning services we offer to individuals and families seeking to build, protect and manage wealth over time. Retirement income planning; education, tax and estate planning; and insurance services are among the many components of a comprehensive plan designed to help you pursue multiple financial and lifestyle goals.

How It Works
Our legacy planning process begins with listening to get to know you and understand what is most important to you and your family. We ask a lot of questions as we help you articulate and further define your goals and objectives. Our discussion will incorporate these and other important topics:

Portfolio management
We assess your current holdings and make sure they are aligned with your short- and long-term goals. For investors seeking socially responsible investment opportunities, we can help you create a portfolio of investments aligned with your own personal values.

Estate planning
We analyze your assets and create a means to preserve your wealth from generation to generation. We can help you explore your altruistic passions and develop a philanthropic strategy.

Cash flow analysis
We develop a strategy that helps you maintain an appropriate lifestyle today, and tactically plan for tomorrow.

Investment strategies
Our team presents ongoing reviews of your investment performance and recommends modifications as needed.

Retirement income planning
Working with you we develop plans to help ensure your financial needs are taken care of for the rest of your life.

Risk management
We help you assess and then choose the most appropriate life, disability and long-term care insurance coverage.
