We first create a financial plan to help provide context in selecting the appropriate investments, account types, and custom strategies for your situation. We then carefully consider your financial goals, risk profile, liquidity, time horizon, charitable inclinations, and tax considerations to determine an asset allocation that is best for you.
We help to develop a framework to analyze your personal net worth and cash flow. We learn what matters to you and then help to align your investments, assets, debts, and income accordingly. As your life changes, we help you to adapt to ensure your plan is still aligned with what you value. Specific areas we can help in include:
- Retirement Planning
- Cash Flow Analysis
- Sustainable Spending and Budgeting
- Impacts of a Concentrated Stock Position
- Business Succession Planning
We take time to understand the specific goals and objectives you’re trying to accomplish in determining how your estate will be distributed after you are gone. While we are not attorneys, we will work with you and your attorney to routinely review your estate planning documents, such as a will, durable power of attorney, beneficiary agreements, or a trust to ensure they reflect your current assets and wishes.
We help to quantify the amount you will have to save based upon the goals you have for your child’s education. We then review your cash flow and work with you to find the best investment vehicles and programs to maximize the amount you can save in the most tax advantageous manner.
We truly believe that managing your tax exposure is one of the most effective methods of making your money work for you and one of the areas where advisors can add the most value. While we are not tax advisors, our team understands complex tax strategies and works with your tax advisor to help minimize current and ongoing income taxation and tax implications throughout our financial planning and asset allocation process.
We help our clients determine when they want to gift assets, the manner in which they want to gift, and can help maximize the value of the gift while minimizing taxes.
