OUR PROCESS
Introductory Meeting and Discovery
We start with listening and learning about you to identify your goals, priorities, preferences, and obstacles. We’ll also establish what you can expect from us and if an ongoing partnership is the right fit.
Strategy Sessions And Optimized Future Blueprint™
Often times a conversation with a wealth manager pivots to an asset allocation conversation much too early. An asset allocation is not a strategy nor is it a plan. This part of the process is to define your current state (your point A) so that we can develop roadmaps to your future state and often multiple future states (your point B’s). There are often tradeoffs between different future states. And here we rely on our fintech and analytics expertise as well as partner with your accountants and attorneys to gain a holistic understanding of your financials to chart out an Optimized Future Blueprint™.
Plan Implementation Choices
Powerful people make powerful choices. Once your Optimized Future BlueprintTM has been developed, you decide how much help you would like from us in implementing none, part, or all of the strategy. We empower you with the insights, knowledge, and information on your finances, but we put the power of choice in your hands on your desired engagement level on an ongoing basis.
Ongoing Support And Advice
Life is constantly changing, and your goals will too. When new priorities emerge and lead you towards different decisions, we’ll be here to adapt your Optimized Future Blueprint™ for whatever the future holds.
