First and foremost, we are a financial planning firm. As a true fiduciary, we will meet with you to determine your personal situation and needs. With mutual understanding, we will send you a services contract for your review. You will know what services you are getting and the service fee!
You will not be pressured to "move your money" as we can perform Financial Planning with your assets remaining where they're at. Optionally, we can perform investment management for a low-cost flat fee.
We distinguish ourselves from other Advisory firms, by our battle cry: "Planning First!" before we ever make a recommendation.

Planning First!
We start with your current financial situation and ask a lot of questions about your needs and goals. Your goals are our goals. We believe you can live a better life with smart financial knowledge and a deeper understanding of where you're at and where you'd like to end up. We'll have 2-3 review sessions before we ever make a recommendation!
Personalized Solutions
During our review sessions, we'll get an idea of what type of financial solutions are best for you. Then we'll make some recommendations on a Retirement Income Plan and an Investment Plan that best serves your needs and goals.
Purposeful Retirement™
We also believe that retirees are happiest when there is a Plan that goes beyond the financials. Having a purpose in retirement has been shown to have many benefits including better relationships, health and longevity. We encourage you to have conversations with your loved ones about the type of retirement that is best for you. We can help you reflect with our eGuide that you can work with in the comfort of your own home.
