The journey begins when you decide a financial planner can help move your financial life forward. How we assist you depends on the relationship you’d like to establish.
Some people just have one or two areas of focus (Project-based) while others prefer a more expansive program (Subscription-based).
Areas might include but are not limited to:
Assistance identifying future goals and monitoring your progress.
Review your spending and savings pattern to identify how you might be more efficient saving for the future; identify what you should have in reserve “just in case” you need money unexpectedly or quickly.
Suppose there are three pages of choices for your employer plan; which ones might be best for you? How do you coordinate it with your spouse/partner’s plan?
Which types of insurance should you have and for how much? Does what you have seem adequate?
Are you on track saving for retirement? How do you “pay yourself” once in retirement? What are you going to do with your life after you retire from your job?
Do you have an estate plan? Is it set up the way you want? Do you have the right beneficiaries on the right accounts?
Identify your income, expenses, assets and debts. Use it as a baseline for tracking your progress.
There are lots of choices; which ones are the most applicable to you? If you are a two-person household, whose plan might be better?
How much should you be saving and in what types of accounts?
You might want help reviewing and analyzing your multiple accounts to provide a global overview. Are they appropriate based on your financial goals?
What strategy is best for collecting your benefits given your financial circumstances?
If your focus is a specific area such as a retirement planning, we ask that you complete a questionnaire and spending worksheet prior to our first meeting. Once received, we set a date for the “get acquainted” meeting. This is a complimentary meeting.
We will provide an estimate of the cost of the project at the end of the meeting (calculated by the number of hours for the project times our hourly rate). If you would like to proceed, a written proposal of the project outlining the plan output will be sent with a list of additional documents we may need to start the plan.
Once the plan is prepared and presented, our relationship is finished unless you contact us again in the future.
If you prefer an ongoing relationship that helps organize the various facets of your financial life and action steps to put your “financial house in order,” we suggest our quarterly subscription service.
The quarterly subscription price depends on the complexity of your circumstances. Each step is a launching pad to the next one as life and finances grow in complexity. Examples:
(quarterly fee $300-$725)
(quarterly fee $750 – $1,000)
(quarterly fee $800 – $1,500)
Getting your finances organized is the first step to building the framework for the future.
