How the Financial Planning Process Works
STEP 1: BOOK a 30 Minute Consultation
During this complimentary, no-obligation meeting, we’ll review your financial situation, priorities, and goals.
I’ll explain the planning process, scope, timelines, and cost, and answer any questions you have.
It’s a chance for us to connect and see if working together is the right fit for you.
Step 2: We CREATE Your Customized Plan
We begin with a full discovery of your current finances and specific goals. Through collaborative meetings, we design a personalized financial plan with specific steps, recommendations and strategies to help you achieve those goals.
Along the way, you’ll have the chance to ask questions, explore different options, and weigh the choices that matter most to you.
The planning process covers cash flow planning, investment review and planning, investment education, retirement planning, savings and debt management, risk management and insurance, estate planning, education planning, corporate/self-employment planning (if applicable), and more.
Meetings are held over four months, giving you time to review and reflect, so you can take action and make confident financial decisions.
Step 3: IMPLEMENT Your Plan
We bring your plan to life!
You can implement your plan action steps on your own or choose our ongoing planning retainer for accountability and regular check-ins.
Our process provides professional guidance, clear steps, and ongoing support to help you make confident decisions, stay on track, and feel less stressed about money.
