Our Process

Process graphic

Your unique goals and values determine the path you take on your financial journey. While the resources and tools we help you implement are customized to your needs, we follow an intentional framework with each of our clients that ensures every aspect of your finances is addressed as we work with you. Whatever your vision of success is, here’s what you can expect when you work with us.

Step 1: Discover

Understanding you and your goals is the foundation of everything we do—because the more we know about you and where you want to go, the more precise recommendations we can make. We want to know what matters to you, what keeps you up at night, and what your idea of a fulfilling life looks like. This helps us establish a strong foundation and clear direction for your financial strategies.

Step 2: Assess and Organize

Once we’ve established your foundational priorities, we’ll help you identify key objectives that align with your overall vision for the future. We’ll review your resources and help you determine which of your goals are realistic and which should be adjusted or scaled down according to your risk tolerance and priorities. By narrowing your focus and dividing your goals into specific objectives, you’ll have a clearer path to creating your ideal financial future.

Step 3: Set the Course

Based on our discovery and assessment, we’ll help you establish a timeline so you know which objectives to focus on and when, and then we’ll identify strategies that help you maximize your resources along the way. We’ll recommend specific products and solutions—financial tools—to protect your assets and help you capitalize on opportunities as you grow.

Step 4: Implement

Once we’ve established a course and agreed on the best financial tools for your journey, we’ll implement the strategies and solutions we’ve discussed. In this step of the process, you might transfer assets into more tax-efficient accounts, begin a savings plan, or assign successors to your estate or business.

Step 5: Coordinate

We’ll also coordinate with your other trusted professionals to ensure your financial, tax, and legal activities are working together cohesively to help you achieve your goals. Your success is our priority, so we’ll ensure each of your stakeholders has the necessary information they need to help you on your financial journey.

Step 6: Monitor

Your lifestyle, priorities, risk tolerance, needs, and the economy change over time, so our final and ongoing step is monitoring your financial situation and ensuring everything continually works in your best interest. We’ll review your strategies periodically and adjust them as needed; but most importantly, we’re here to answer questions, offer professional perspective, and provide ongoing support so you have clarity, confidence, and peace of mind in every season.
