Direction

Ensuring you receive the best possible guidance begins with an in-depth assessment of your current financial situation. We seek to gain a clear understanding of your goals and personal sentiments about investing. We begin by asking a lot of questions and speak to you about all aspects of your financial life. Only once we both understand where you are and what you are trying to accomplish can we then begin to develop an actionable plan.

“Am I using the right tax-advantaged strategies to help me keep more of what I earn and invest?”

“Am I taking the appropriate amount of risk with my investment given my objectives?”

“Are my personal and business assets protected from outside influences or unexpected events that could threaten my lifestyle?”

“Is the manner in which I hold title to my assets and beneficiary designations consistent with my estate planning documents?

“If one of us needs nursing care, how will that impact our standard of living- our legacy?”

By keeping you focused on your goals, we help you stay on track. And because we know your objectives may change over time, we approach financial planning as a dynamic, ongoing process that accommodates inevitable changes….tax laws and the economy.
