We are qualified to identify and offer solutions to many wealth management dilemmas.  For example, while we don't prepare taxes or trusts, we can review in great detail your tax returns and an estate plan, to identify areas of serious concern.  

 

When we act as an investment advisor representative, we have a fiduciary responsibility to our client, similar to that of an attorney or CPA. 

 

We then research solutions and quantify our findings.  However simple or complex one's situation may present, we have the tools and resources available to fit the task. 

 

One tool we use is a proprietary form we call our action checklist. This identifies for our client items for attention that are serious areas for concern as it relates to one's financial picture.  Information we include may not be things that we would implement directly as your advisor, but may be covered in a traditional financial plan. 

 

All too often financial planners hand their clients a beautifully bound, individualized financial plan, the size of a small paperback book.  This book reflects some great financial information, often customized and colorful.  The problem is that often, our client's that have enjoyed moderate to extreme wealth are not always proactive, analytical, sophisticated and enamored with financial matters. Asking them to act on their own in an often financially sophisticated diligent manner-- makes the plan even less valuable.  We would argue that what happens next is:

  

 

 

We believe that a financial plan is the cornerstone to achieving one's goals. 

We keep it Simple for Our Clients.   Keeping it Simple, yet sophisticated.  Our Clients often see this light at the first meeting, but see the action in practice, at our next meeting when ...

 

Complementing our Action Checklist is our proprietary Consolidated Asset Report.  Imagine, just Two Pages of Detailed Data to review and determine your unique asset allocations, from Investment Property, to IRA's, to Stock positions.  

 

This may sound ridiculously simplified. It is!!!  Rarely, when clients meet with us, do they have a more simplified, comprehensive accounting of where they are financially -- compared to what we have developed for them – at this meeting.   

 

Often, we will begin a relationship with simply a complimentary review of one's existing investments, annuities, tax returns, life insurance, or estate plan.  

 

Or we might assist in determining retirement plan distribution and income options,

or help in processing documents after the death of a loved one. 

 

Even if we don't use all the unique tools as mentioned above, we have them -- as arrows in our quiver.  We still follow the process.  And that's service you may not get elsewhere, even if it's just a simple financial concern you wish to get guidance on from us. 

 

Keeping an eye on things is what we specialize in.
