      This is the most commonly asked question, but it is one of the most critical decisions of your life.

Just as you seek doctor for medical advice, the same is required for your finances.

      • A financial professional will help you every step of the way to make financial decisions for you, your family or business, which can give you peace and freedom to spend your time and money on what’s most important to you.

      • First, we meet for a brief phone or in-person meeting to see if we are the right fit.
      • We learn and identify where you currently are with your personal or business finances and what your vision for the future is, including your goals, dreams, as well as your concerns.
      • Welcome! You are now part of our family! We develop a plan and make recommendations.
      • Like all relationships, plans change and so do priorities. We will aim to meet with you yearly to keep our good work going.
      • The best part of our job is meeting with clients, but we know you have other family members, not just us. Our new client packet includes preferences. We will meet with you as often as needed. We’ll even join you for Sunday dinner to meet the rest of your (now our) family
