Creating a roadmap to achieve your goals. Fees apply, but clients say, “Planning doesn’t cost, it pays!”
(The Beaker) - (Why Tracking)
Financial planning involves so much more than just looking at your investments. It involves looking at where you are today, where you want to go (your goals) and it sets out a roadmap to determine what the best way is for you to arrive at your goals. Our job is to help you prioritize your goals to find out what is truly important for you to achieve. Next, we figure out the price tag associated with each goal. Then we crunch the numbers to determine whether your current actions will allow you to meet all of your goals. If you can – great! We’ll make sure that you stay on track, but if you can’t, then we work with you to make some changes.
You can make changes to one or any goal. You can postpone your goal, decrease your expectations, increase your savings, increase the return on your investments, increase tax efficiency, or do a combination of all of these. The most important part is that we get your input and get you to make the decisions regarding which changes to make. This ensures that the final plan is something very meaningful to you and reflects your priorities and values. That makes it easy for you to commit to following the plan, and taking action, to get results and reach your goals. You only get one chance so you’d better plan right, and maximize your life.
