What’s included in your no-cost initial plan

A comprehensive financial plan will encapsulate a number of aspects of your financial life. But don’t worry, we’ll focus on what’s important to you and what your needs are.

Your values, your goals. A collaboration.

 

1. Employer benefits analysis

• If you currently have benefits, we can show you how to make the most of them for your individual needs. In addition, if you have a defined contribution retirement plan, like a 401(k), we can help you match your investment options to your ideal asset allocation.

2. Social Security

• Help you determine your current social security benefit options.

3. Cash analysis

• Are you saving enough? Can you save more?
• See your cash flow and your balance sheet.

4. Retirement analysis

• How close are you to meeting your retirement needs?
• If you’re not quite on track, what are your options?
• Do you prefer to retire later? Save more now? Or take more risk?
• Answer the question: When can I retire?
• What’s your current probability of success?

• What accounts do I draw from first?

5. Risk management

6. Investment management
