Schedule A Complimentary Consultation

Let’s get to know each other!

Our initial meeting in the planning process is usually about an hour in length. The purpose of the meeting is for us to get acquainted and determine if a relationship would be in both of our interests. 

The goal of the consultation is to:

• Learn about your primary goals and concerns
• Find out what financial services you’re interested in
• Provide an opportunity to share who we are and our process 
• Provide information as to how our fees are structured

This meeting is complimentary with no obligation on your part to engage us following the meeting.

When you decide to engage our services, we’ll ask you to complete our engagement agreement and provide you with a list of additional information that we’ll need to get started. At this time, you will be asked to pay a deposit based on the estimated total planning fee. Once we have your signed engagement contract and deposit, we’ll schedule a discovery and data gathering meeting.

Ready? Schedule your initial consultation

Let’s discuss your goals and determine your options.

At this meeting we’ll gather all the pertinent information needed to assess your current situation. We’ll then discuss your specific short- and long-term goals so we can begin building a comprehensive financial plan.

Let’s assess your current financial situation.

Once the discovery and data gathering are complete, we'll analyze your information to:

• Evaluate your current financial landscape
• Determine your options
• Design your financial plan and 
• Create final reports for your review at the Financial Plan Presentation 

Review our recommendations.

At this meeting we'll review and present your financial plan. We’ll discuss our reports with you and provide a written summary of our observations and recommendations. You will also have the opportunity to discuss any concerns you have, and if appropriate, make necessary revisions. 

At the conclusion of this meeting the remaining balance of your financial planning fees are due. If you are engaging us only for financial planning services, our active engagement will conclude after this meeting- with the client responsible for the implementation of the plan on their own. We will provide a 30-day window for any follow ups and questions. 

Let’s put the plan in action!

Implementation is paramount when it comes to making the financial planning process work. During your financial plan presentation, we’ll discuss an appropriate plan for the implementation and monitoring of your plan. 

When the plan is developed and agreed upon, we’ll then:

•  Determine the assets in your portfolio that we’ll be responsible for managing 
• Begin developing a proposal and investment policy statement detailing how the assets will be managed

We’ll then present our proposal, and once approved, we will then:

• Set up the necessary accounts, and 
•  Facilitate the implementation of your Investment Policy Statement 

We’ll also work with you to implement the action items included in your plan and identify areas where we can provide assistance. For tasks you’re responsible for we'll provide direction and guidance throughout the process.

Let’s assess and adjust changes as needed

To monitor the implementation of the plan —and to make sure it stays current with your needs and goals — we'll meet regularly. Typically, we get together twice a year to review your plan and make any necessary changes; however, as the need arises, we may need to meet more regularly. This allows us time to adapt and modify your plan in a timely manner and make sure that it continues to reflect your goals and financial needs.
