Financial Planning
Do you have a clear picture of your financial future?
Without a plan in place, it can be difficult, if not impossible, to understand and visualize where you’re going and how you’ll get there. That’s because your financial picture is comprised of many inter-dependent parts that must fit together tightly to complete your personal financial puzzle. Comprehensive planning not only identifies any gaps in your current strategy, but enables you to weigh different options and strategies, and choose the best approach for you.
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.
Our planning process begins with a review of your goals and objectives to help determine if you’re on track, and incorporates these and other important discussion items:
- Budgeting and cash-flow analysis
- Savings and emergency funds
- Retirement accumulation
- Retirement income planning
- Education planning
- Tax planning
- Insurance planning
- Estate and legacy planning
- Charitable giving
