3. Trust and Respect

Trust and respect are essential components of any successful relationship ensuring a safe and secure environment for all parties involved. Respect is especially important as it ensures we treat each other with dignity and that decisions are respected.

4. Exceed Expectations

Exceeding expectations is a building block to creating an exceptional client experience.  It enhances our reputation and demonstrates a commitment to excellence. We are driven to increase client satisfaction, loyalty, and engagement, as well as improve team morale and motivation.

Our Team

Direction and Purpose are what Makes a Practice Successful

Our reasons for becoming financial professionals are deeply personal. We repeatedly saw many friends and family struggling to find the help they needed to map out their financial future. We are confident that with our understanding of personal finance, coupled with our training as financial professionals, we can help people better prepare for the future. After years in the business, we have developed a reputation for educating individuals in an easy-to-understand manner so they can grasp personal finance and use those concepts to pursue their financial objectives. We feel a commitment to our community.

Client Centered

Over the years, we have found that a team approach can be an effective method to help clients who have a wide variety of needs as they maneuver through a complex financial-services world. We invite you to discover and experience the power of our services. We believe it has far-reaching benefits for our clients to get opinions from several sources with diverse backgrounds, education, and experience.

No one strategy fits everyone, which is why every client gets our undivided attention—from planning to execution to follow-up. We take a proactive approach to helping you develop a strategy to address your financial goals and objectives, using the most efficient methods available.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide an enjoyable experience for our clients that provides value and confidence. We MUST leave them in a better place than we found them. This is done by providing a level of service based on listening, understanding, and challenging our clients to address the financial areas of their life to reach their goals. Our firm does more than manage our client's money, it helps them create long-term strategies for building wealth and managing risk. We help them track, manage and balance their financial future.

We understand the challenges companies and families face today and the ever-changing dynamics of personal situations. A financial plan is a static document. It isn't until the client understands that it should be fluid, flexible, and malleable before they understand the safety and true power it can provide them. Although the client always has their hands on the wheel and knows their destination, they still need the most efficient route and direction to steer around unexpected hazards and detours.

Our commitment is to utilize all of our resources to help you pursue your goals.

Our Process

Direction and Purpose is what makes a program successful

Meeting #1
(initial consultation)

(30 mins-60 mins)

This is simply a "Getting to Know You" meeting. We take this time to understand your goals, objectives, and expectations to determine if we are a good fit for each other. We establish your priorities and set the next meeting.

Meeting #2 

(60 mins-120 mins)

We have an in-depth conversation about your current financial situation and options for reaching your goals. Both qualitative and quantitative information is reviewed to determine the appropriate next steps.

Plan Development

This is where we begin putting the pieces together through the utilization of our tools to develop a solution that can be implemented and tracked through regularly scheduled meetings.

Meeting #3 (Presentation)

We present and provide a written plan with recommendations to reach your goals. We identify how the solution is affected by the various moving parts of your plan.

Implementation


Once a mutual course of action has been established, we put our plan into action. This is where the rubber meets the road.

Monitoring and adjusting

This is where revisit your plan, its progress, and trajectory to make sure that we are still on the same page and achieving our objectives. This is also the step where new qualitative and quantitative information is brought in.
