ONGOING FINANCIAL PLANNING
Below is an outline of the way we work with clients to provide a tailored experience and provide the best advice possible.
​
First-year, we meet five times and then quarterly moving forward. We are available throughout the year as things come up. Together, we co-create strategies to manage your financial life. We actively monitor your progress and make changes as life events occur.
​
With our sincerity to help others, we will provide a one-page financial plan with action items by our third meeting, even if you decide not to become a client. Providing quality advice is at the foundation of our business.
Meeting Structure
THE FIRST 6 MONTHS
01
DISCOVERY MEETING
We do a deep dive into your current situation, talk about goals and concerns, and learn about your unique needs and objectives. We learn about your history with money and how that's shaped your views today.
03
SCENARIO PLANNING
We present a high-level, 1-page financial plan and also introduce you to the financial planning software. The software is a collaborative tool that we use together to evaluate the feasibility of your goals.
02
GETTING ORGANIZED CASHFLOW & VALUES
We review cash flow to get insight into how much your lifestyle costs and make adjustments to savings, if needed. We discuss what's truly important to you in order to have a clear vision of where you're headed.

INVESTMENTS & EQUITY COMPENSATION
The meeting focuses on investments and a strategy for your equity compensation. We will provide detailed recommendations for the portfolio.
