FINANCIAL PLANNING SERVICES
We provide a variety of financial planning and consultation services to individuals, families and other clients regarding the management of their financial resources based upon an analysis of their current situation, goals, and objectives. Generally, such financial planning and consulting services will involve preparing a financial plan or rendering a financial consultation for clients based on the client’s financial goals and objectives. This planning or consulting may encompass one or more of the following areas: Investment Planning, Retirement Planning, Estate Planning, Charitable Planning, Education Planning, Corporate and Personal Tax Planning, Cost Segregation Study, Corporate Structure, Real Estate Analysis, Mortgage/Debt Analysis, Insurance Analysis, Lines of Credit Evaluation, Business and Personal Financial Planning.
Our written financial plans or financial consultations usually include general recommendations for a course of action. Recommendations may be made that the clients initiate or revise investment programs, create or revise wills or trusts, obtain or revise insurance coverage, commence or alter retirement savings, or establish education or charitable giving programs. We refer clients to an accountant, attorney, or other specialist as necessary for non-advisory related services. For written financial planning engagements, we provide our clients with a written summary of their financial situation, and our firm’s observations and recommendations. Plans and/or consultations are typically completed within six (6) months of the client agreement. Implementation of the recommendations will be at the discretion of the client.
