Comprehensive Financial Advising
Over our 30+ years of helping clients, we’ve developed a process we call Integrative Advising. It’s built on the firm belief that the more we know about you, the better we can assist you. With that in mind, we look at your financial life from every angle. We don’t simply focus on your stock portfolio. After all, that’s just one small part of the overall picture. Instead, we start with where you are, talk at length about where you want to be (both in the short and long-term) and then build a strategy to get there. Once that plan is put in place, we continually analyze, reassess and make adjustments as necessary to account for life’s moments. And we equip you with sophisticated technology like WealthTrek, so you can have the tools to understand what’s going on.
Integrative advising is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Our team understands that every individual’s financial situation is unique and requires personalized attention. We take the time to get to know you and understand your specific needs, goals, and values before crafting a comprehensive investment plan tailored just for you.
Integrative Advising is designed to simplify the complex and deliver comprehensive financial advising. There are a lot of pieces that make up your financial life, and we know it can feel overwhelming. Using this method, our team is equipped to take all of those elements and craft a comprehensive plan that will make you excited about pursuing your wealth goals.
Creating A Health Financial Plan
Integrative Advising can be likened to what happens between a doctor and a patient—especially a primary care physician or a family doctor. In that field of medicine, the doctor isn’t just there when a problem arises. He oversees the general wellness of the patient, manages chronic conditions and coordinates specialized care. The only way he can do so successfully is by having an intimate relationship with the patient built on trust. That way, when an issue does come up, it can be dealt with quickly and effectively. Take a closer look at the process of Integrative Advising. There are many steps, but each is integral to the overall outcome.
1. Consultation
A doctor performs a thorough physical exam and talks to the patient at length to get the most comprehensive background possible.
It’s the same with your financial plan. We start by thoroughly discussing your goals. We then help you prioritize them, so they align with your money, values and legacy.
2. Diagnosis & Prescription
If there’s a concern, not only is the health issue identified, but a concrete plan for how to deal with it is outlined.
This is where we put together a step-by-step process to help you reach your goals. Just like every medical situation is unique, so is every client’s financial situation. That’s why the plan we create is custom tailored for you.
3. Treatment
The wellness plan is put into place.
At this point, you are accumulating resources so you can fulfill your dreams. Along with traditional salaries, we help supplement your income with investment strategies and consider tax implications of growing your wealth over time.
4. Preventive Care
In order to minimize future problems, the doctor will perform routine immunizations, screenings and check-ups, as well as offer advice on how to maintain an active, healthy lifestyle.
The last thing you want to do is run out of money during retirement. So we develop a prudent spending plan and continually analyze your expenditures to make sure you’re on track. At the same time, we control risk, maintain a broadly diversified portfolio for you and implement tax-efficient withdrawal strategies.
5. Monitoring & Evaluation
If treatment is ongoing, the doctor will keep an eye on the progress, making adjustments as needed.
Since life brings constant change—including some that is out of your control—at times the plan we create together needs to be reassessed. Through continual review, we help you manage these shifts and provide a disciplined path forward. However, when we do recalibrate a financial plan, it’s based on a change in your goals or objectives, and not a response to world events.
What’s Your Risk Budget?
An effective professional financial plan considers the client’s risk budget. We’ve partnered with Hidden Levers to bring you a scientific assessment that will reveal the optimum level of risk for your unique investment goals. After completing the free evaluation, we’ll review the results together.
