What are you working toward, and how can a financial plan help you get there?

We believe that thoughtful, detailed planning is one of the most effective ways to create financial security, and our approach is centered around the idea that your "why" is just as important as the "how.”

From our initial meeting, we want to know what truly matters to you, and it’s our mission to coordinate all aspects of your financial life to get you valued advice.

We look forward to working with you!

Independence, powered by LPL Financial

LPL Financial (Nasdaq: LPLA) was founded on the principle that the firm should work for the advisor, and not the other way around. Today, LPL is a leader in the markets they serve,* supporting nearly 20,000 financial advisors, and approximately 800 institution-based investment programs and 500 independent RIA firms nationwide. They are steadfast in their commitment to the advisor-centered model and the belief that Americans deserve access to personalized guidance from a financial advisor.

At LPL, independence means that advisors have the freedom they deserve to choose the business model, services, and technology resources that allow them to run their perfect practice. And they have the freedom to manage their client relationships, because they know their clients best. Simply put, they take care of their advisors, so that I can take care of my clients.

It Starts with You.

Our process begins with getting to know you and your goals. Tell us where you want to go, and we'll work with you to develop a plan that suits your needs. And as your life changes, we'll adjust your plan so it better aligns with your new path. 

We believe a detailed planning process can be one of the most effective ways to create financial security. An effective plan may not only provide financial security throughout your life, it can reduce the damage disability, critical illness, or other sudden losses of income may have.

 

So what are the steps?

1. Introductory Meeting

In our first meeting, we'll identify your goals, priorities, preferences, and any obstacles you may have. We'll also mutually establish what your expectations are for us, and if an ongoing partnership is the right fit.

2. Exploration & Preliminary Planning

After our first meeting, we'll take a deeper dive into your situation. As we have a more detailed conversation about your personal and financial goals, we'll start sketching a preliminary plan. The more open and transparent this phase is, the more detailed our plan will be.

3. Detailed Planning

Now that we have a foundation, we can deliver an easy-to-follow roadmap that will guide you towards your financial goals. This plan will address the areas that are most important to you, and outline the steps needed to conquer potential obstacles. Your plan will also aim to gain maximum returns via a solid, tax-efficient portfolio.

4. Ongoing Support & Advice

Life is constantly changing, and your goals will too. When new priorities lead you towards different approaches to wealth management and savings, we'll be here to adapt your plan so it transitions along with you.
