The Process

Consultation

Objective Overview

I get it. Choosing someone from the internet to talk about your finances can feel a little strange.

That’s why this first call is all about you. We’ll talk about what brought you here, what you’re looking for in a financial advisor, and what’s most important to you right now.

I’ll also give you space to ask any questions you have about the firm, how I work, or what to expect.

What I won’t do is pressure you to make a decision on the spot. This is an important relationship and I want you to take the time you need to think it through. I’ll take a few days before reaching out to schedule a “Cleared to Proceed” meeting if that’s what you’re looking for.

Cleared to Proceed

This is a quick and optional, 15-minute check-in to assess how we both feel about the fit of our partnership.

If we’re aligned, I’ll present an initial plan focused on the areas that need immediate attention.

I’ll also walk through the proposed service pricing, including any adjustments based on complexity and applicable AUM offsets. No surprises. Just clear, transparent discussion.

Meeting 1: Initial Recon

This is an important meeting, but there’s no need to stress.

We'll begin by refining your values and goals; a continuous, but important process as they’re the foundation of your financial plan and guide everything we do together.

From there, we’ll take a deep dive into your full financial picture: accounts, insurance policies, tax returns, estate documents, family dynamics, cash flow, savings, retirement plans, and more.

And don’t worry if you don’t have all the documents handy or aren’t sure where to start. I’m here to walk through it with you, step by step.

Meeting 2: Strategic Alignment

This meeting is where you get to dream.

If we haven’t framed some initial values and goals yet, we’ll continue to refine them. We’ll also start crafting your Statement of Financial Purpose; your “why” behind the plan.

If there is any other information that I need to build your plan, I’ll ask for those here. No pressure. This is about clarity, not perfection.

Meeting 3: Strategy to Tactics

Sit back and take in the initial plan and recommendations.

I’ll start with a picture of where you are today. Then I’ll move into where you want to be, based on the values, goals, and your Statement of Financial Purpose. Then, I’ll lay out the recommended steps to get there, naming just a few of them to start with first. I walk with you throughout the entire implementation process to keep you motivated toward achieving your goals!
