Sound Strategies
Guidance Along Your Journey
We treat our clients with respect; their successes and achievements are important to us. We take satisfaction in helping our down-to-earth, honest, hard-working clients find the appropriate route to their financial aspirations.
Our Process
Our process is one long-lasting dialogue. It is a years-long discussion as we develop a genuine relationship with you and your family and build your financial plan. It all starts with a conversation.
Getting Acquainted
During our intake interview, we get to know each other. We’ll determine whether we’re a good fit for one another.
Setting Goals
We’ll work together to identify your values and goals. These may be long-term or short-term goals. We can even help you discover those important goals you might not have even envisioned yet.
Making Plans
We’ll design your financial plan and determine appropriate strategies. Then we will meet with you again to review our independent recommendations and make any required adjustments.
Monitor and Control
On an ongoing basis, we continue talking. We monitor your investments and make adjustments as the markets shift or your goals evolve. We aim to meet multiple times a year, and we may meet more often if the need arises.
Accumulation
With accumulation planning, we aim to construct a solid financial base sufficient to pursue your objectives.
We’ll work with you to identify your savings goals and identify a risk and reward ratio that fits your needs, goals, and comfort level. We’ll help you craft a plan that meets your personal investing preferences.
Retirement Planning
Retirement planning can be complex and challenging. It involves the process of determining your retirement income goals, and the actions and decisions necessary to achieve those goals. We help you evaluate your current financial status and create a strategy that will help you pursue your desired retirement lifestyle.
