After a free initial consultation, the scope of our engagement is determined. We offer the following services.
Comprehensive Financial Planning
We emphasize a holistic approach to financial planning and consider all aspects of your life before preparing your customized comprehensive financial plan. The six-step process of comprehensive financial planning is described in detail in our brochure.
Time-constrained Financial Checkup
If your financial affairs are not too complex, this would be the most cost-effective way of addressing your top-priority financial concerns and goals. The deliverable of this service is a financial checkup report (2 to 3 pages) of the strengths and weaknesses of your financial condition, along with some recommendations for reaching your specified goals.
Investment Advice
We will review your investment portfolio (employer-sponsored retirement plans, IRAs, brokerage accounts, etc.) in the context of your investment objectives. The deliverable is a detailed list of recommendations required to build a prudent portfolio with low investment expenses and appropriate to your investment objectives and risk tolerance.
Customized Financial Coaching and Education
We provide customized financial coaching and education to individuals and families, as well as to small groups who have a similar financial profile. First we focus on motivating you to learn; then we customize the subject matter to fit your needs.
Annual Retainer
After an initial project, if you decide to have an ongoing advisor-client relationship, we will monitor and evaluate your progress towards your goals. We will make investment and other financial recommendations based on the changing macroeconomic conditions, your personal circumstances and your goals.
