Does your household have a strong financial foundation?  Do you have ample cash reserves, proper insurance coverage, and know what you are paying in investment fees?

All financial plans require basic building blocks to be in place in order to plan for long term financial success.  Through our Financial Foundation Review, we evaluate your cash flow to determine if you have ample cash reserves.  Next, we audit existing investment accounts to quantify fees, risk, and historic returns.  Lastly we evaluate your 'everyday risk exposure' to understand any needs for life protection, income protection, and potential long-term health care costs.

Do you know if you are currently on pace to hit your financial goals in time?  Do you have a process to check if you are currently on track or off-track for retirement?

Through this online financial planning audit, we will show you where  stand in relation to your goals.  A Planning Checkpoint calculates the probability of success for your current financial goals, based off of your timeline, current savings strategy, & existing portfolio allocation.  This will reveal whether you are saving enough for your goals and if your investments are targeting the proper return.

Do you know what it will take to hit all of your financial goals? Have you quantified how much to save each year, how much return to target, and the final amount you will need?

A Goal Forecast is all about setting targets and understanding what is necessary from your saving to hit financial goals over a period of time.  Through this online financial planning analysis, we will quantify the final sum required to hit each goal as well as calculate the returns your savings should target each year to stay on track.

What would happen to your portfolio if the Great Recession of 2008 repeated itself, and how would it impact your goals?

Through this online financial planning analysis, we first show you the losses that your asset allocation would suffer during a stock market crash.  Then we calculate 1,000 scenarios of market timing, post market crash, to see if you could still achieve your financial goals.  This analysis will give you an understanding of how resilient your current retirement plan actually is. 

From a tax standpoint, why do you save where you save?  What if diversifying your taxes now could create more after-tax income for retirement?

Mathematically speaking, money grows more effectively depending on how it is tax categorized. This online financial planning analysis will help you diversify your savings by tax categorization to maximize your cash-flow savings plan. Through this process you will gain more control over how future investment distributions impact your tax bracket.  

Are your annuity & insurance policies expensive & out dated?   When was the last time you took a hard look at what you have in place?

The insurance and annuity landscape changes every year due to mortality tables, market volatility, and interest rates.  Through this online financial planning analysis we can vet the marketplace to see how your existing products stack up against the current opportunities. 

Does your retirement plan have contingencies in place to account for a stock market crash?  If the market crashed tomorrow, could you still retire or stay retired?

A retirement plan that would not survive a market crash is lacking investment resilience.  Through this online financial planning process, we will build you a retirement plan that has a contingency strategy for market downturns.  A Resilient Retirement® is built to give you more control over the uncontrollable, so that regardless of market volatility, your confidence in retirement stays resolute. 

Do you know if your old employer sponsored retirement plan is aligned with your current financial goals?  What if the investment strategy is no longer appropriate?

A rollover lets you take back ownership of your money, so you can re-align your savings with your retirement timeline. The process of consolidating all those old accounts into one place has never been easier! A Simple Rollover® is an online financial planning tool that will get your money rolling back to you within a few 'clicks.'

Do you have a strategy in place to maximize your corporate benefits?  How are you leveraging stock incentives, pension plans, or deferred compensation to expedite your goals?

As you rise through the corporate ranks, complex opportunities, like deferred compensation and stock incentive plans, become more readily available. Capitalizing on these opportunities is key to achieving your financial goals more effectively.  A Corporate Benefit Playbook will show you how to leverage these benefits in order to maximize the impact on your financial goals.

Will your Required Minimum Distributions move you into a higher tax bracket? 

 The Required Minimum Distribution percentage from your retirement account increases every year after age 72.  Why? Because the IRS is smart!  An RMD Roadmap™ will help you plan ahead so you can flat line distributions, and enter higher tax brackets, only if you choose to do so.  The earlier you draw your map, the more tax control you will have later.  

Could your wealth become multi-generational wealth?

Is your business ready to take its financial strategy to the next level?  

Once a business becomes profitable it requires safeguards to be put in place that protect key employees & insure the business plan.  Through this online financial planning analysis, we review your business's revenue to see how it relates to your tax deductible savings, employee plans, & buy/sell agreement.  Then we will build you a playbook that prioritizes your cash-flow to maximize its value.
