FINANCIAL PLANNING

 

JOY of Financial Planning. 

You have a plan for your life. We fit that plan to your finances so you can feel good about your money. We do this through our sustainable Investment Strategy and by equipping our clients with three (3) tools for creating wealth that's, well, useful:

  1. Your Financial ROADMAP (FR) which identifies 40 to 60 recommendations to support your financial plan (the "what")
  2. Your Implementation Guide (IG) which priorities (by month) when you ought to implement those recommendations (the "when")
  3. Your Family Constitution (FC) which clarifies how those recommendations connect to your values (the "why")

We call this process Family Governance. It goes beyond traditional financial planning by adding a "values" component.. We incorporate what you want to do with your family and in your community so you can "Feel good about your money."
