FINANCIAL PLANNING SERVICES
Like most people, you have hopes, dreams and life goals for yourself and your family. These might include buying/selling a home or business, saving for college education for your children, getting your estate planning in order, eliminating taxes or retiring comfortably. Financial planning is the process of wisely managing your finances so that you can achieve your dreams and goals. The role of a financial planner is to outline your total financial picture and then map out a path to your desired goals and objectives.
The planning process includes an in-depth analysis of your current financial circumstances. We evaluate strengths and weaknesses. We uncover opportunities. We continually educate you about your options. I incorporate client specific areas of financial planning as needed; whether it be wealth accumulation, IRAs, Insurance planning, retirement Income planning, investments, tax management strategies, wealth preservation, education or estate planning. We can coordinate with your CPAs, attorneys, and other financial advisers to develop and implement the best strategies for your personal financial plan. Then we establish a customized plan that addresses your specific needs.
I will help you design and put in place financial strategies to meet a variety of goals and needs.
