Financial Planning Model

Financial Planning Model

Relationship Based / Fee Based Financial Planning

If you want to establish a direction for your financial life, a plan may be the model for you.

Financial Planning is designed to help you achieve your specific goals. We will work with you to design a roadmap, starting with a full assessment of your financial situation and goals. Each plan includes specific action items to help you achieve those goals. This is not a product or investment. While developing your plan, we usually consult with  your other advisors (CPA, Attorney, etc.).

A Financial Plan can help you with:

  • Cash Flow Strategies
  • Reduction of Taxes
  • Legacy Planning / Wealth Transfer
  • Estate Planning Solutions
  • Early Retirement / Saving for Retirement
  • Risk Management
  • Ownership & Beneficiary Strategies for Tax Planning
Asset Management Model
