Purpose of a Financial Plan

Three young women are sitting on the ground and eating pizza. They are all smiling and laughing.

 

The purpose of a financial plan is to define how your income and assets can provide for a lifetime of happiness. Healthy savings habits, spending discipline and appropriate investments are necessary to meet your goals. But, you need more than just a plan.

We can keep you centered on your plan when faced with market downturns or enticing spending opportunities. Our team is invested in you and your family. We're committed to helping you get where you want to go.

The Financial Planning Process

Understanding Your Habits

We analyze your spending patterns and savings habits, along with your income and assets to determine whether your goals are achievable.

Developing Your Financial Plan

We want to understand what you want and what you have. This will determine how you can use your assets and income to pay for the things that make you happy. 

Reviewing Your Financial Plan

Are the assumptions correct? Are there any disappointments or pleasant surprises? Do you want to change anything?

Checking In

Are the assumptions still correct? Has your definition of happiness changed? If necessary, we will update the financial plan.
