Our services include:

  • Goal Development and Personal Values Assessment, to align your goals and financial tools with what matters most to you.
  • Financial Net Worth, including full digital and print net worth statements.
  • Investment Analysis, a comprehensive review of your current investments through multiple filters including expense management, investment return, tax efficiencies, and risks to determine best solutions for you.
  • Tax Analysis and Planning, using our 37-point checklist developed by CPAs, this analysis will help you maximize your tax efficiencies now, as well as illustrate the impact of tax strategies throughout retirement.
  • Risk Management Analysis, three unique analyses designed to ensure you’ve prepared for the certainty of uncertainty.
  • Retirement Income Planning, including Secure Income Modeling and Total Income Modeling to identify potential retirement income shortfalls so you can address them as quickly as possible.

We accomplish all of this and more through a series of high-impact Strategy Sessions, as well as our team working for you behind the scenes. We typically meet, either in person or by Zoom, six times over the course of the year.
