What Does It Mean To Have A Financial Plan?
Degrees of Planning
The answer can vary greatly. A true financial plan includes more than money and investments. Our process creates a personalized roadmap that assists you in reaching your goals and dreams.
FOUNDATIONAL
Those who could benefit from a foundational plan include:
- New families – Getting established and finding a direction for the future.
- Individuals making a great start – New job…new home…new town… finding the financial “things” that fit for you.
- People wanting a savings plan – Up and running? Find help making your money work for YOU.
- People going through life changes – Moving… getting married… divorce… life changes require a new look at your finances.
- “Putting it all together” mindset – Been busy doing it yourself? Lots of parts to fit together? You need a PLAN!
- A “getting from here to there” goal – A vacation home…a boat…retiring early… dreams become reality when you have a PLAN.
- People wanting to manage debt – Debt is a an often necessary “evil.” You don’t have to be burdened though!
EMERGENT
Emergent planning candidates may be identified as:
- Professionals – Dentists, doctors, attorneys, CPAs, salespeople ALL need help building a financial future.
- Business owners – You’re focused on your business…who’s focused on YOU?
- Corporations /Corporate ownership – Going beyond taxation and asset protection… how does your corporation benefit you?
- Tax Strategies – Tax now, tax later…tax mitigation. There’s a LOT you can do NOW to help!
- Investment Planning – Do it yourself? Too many moving parts. You KNOW you need an outside voice.
- Retirement Income Planning – Saving and spending are two very different things.
- Special needs planning – There’s a lot you can do to provide for the special needs people you love.
ADVANCED
Prospective advanced planning clients tend to have issues like:
- High net-worth – Where is your net-worth positioned? It’s a very different set of obstacles.
- Wealth preservation – Friction on your money comes from every quarter. How can you be sure you’ve covered all of your bases?
- Estate transfer -Keeping your money while you’re alive is “easy…” Want to pass it on and create a legacy? Now THAT needs attention.
- Business succession – Transitioning a business to the next generation seems simple, but what are you missing?
- Generational planning – You’ve accumulated and saved for your future, and some to pass on. Who will help your next generation?
- Legacy planning – How do you want to be remembered? Who do you want to remember you?
- Charitable gift planning – There are better ways to show your love to the causes you care about.
