For most people, wealth in itself is not the destination. It’s just the vehicle. So where exactly do you want to go?
Every situation is different. You may be coming to us in the midst of a dramatic life change — an IPO, a major career move, a divorce, retirement. You may simply feel the impulse to get greater clarity, establish control and define the trajectory of your financial life. Either way, we hope our two major service areas will supply you with supreme levels of support.
Defining the possibilities, and the path
Our systematic approach to planning marks the start of a fantastic and transformative journey. It begins with intimate, far-ranging discussions. The process is relaxed, smooth and guided by some of the smartest, nicest, most resourceful people in the business. It’s enhanced by our use of powerful technology.
Out of the fog of hectic modern existence, goals, challenges and priorities emerge. A clear financial plan takes shape, reflecting answers to fundamental questions like:
Plan first, then invest
- Can I leave my lucrative career and pursue another passion?
- If I live to be 105, will I have enough money?
- How will my financial situation change if I get married – or divorced?
- If the market tanks, will I have enough money?
- Will my family be OK if I get hit by a bus?
- How will I fund my kids’ education?
- How can I leverage my stock options and 401(k)?
- How can I transfer my wealth to the next generation in a tax efficient manner?
Your financial plan centralizes your entire financial life in one living, breathing document, meaning it is constantly evolving. Depending on your situation, the financial planning process covers net worth and cash flow, retirement planning, investment strategy, tax minimization, insurance review and estate planning. The plan evolves as your life does. Your time horizons, your income targets, your liquidity needs, and many more essential parameters become the foundation for your investment strategy.
