Step 2
Fit Meeting
In our first meeting, we will get to know you and your situation. We will spend about 10% of our time introducing our Simple Strategies process, and the other 90% focused on understanding of your situation, we will provide advice on creating a solid financial plan designed to help optimize you long-term results.
To adequately review your financial situation, we offer a 30-minute to one-hour, no-cost no-obligation meeting. Our PFP process covers these key areas to help prioritize and plan your financial future:
Cash Flow: Debt, emergency fund, cash management, income needs, net worth
Risk Analysis: Identifying any risks in your current plan and ways to minimize them
Tax Management: Reducing taxes through deferrals, deductions, and tax-free growth
Investing: Retirement accounts, goals, projections, and retirement income
Estate Planning: Wills and/or trusts
This is a low-pressure meeting where you will receive helpful financial feedback. At the end of the meeting and based on our analysis, we will share a few suggestions and items for your consideration. You are free to take as much time as you need after the meeting to decide if you want to move forward and work with us. We will follow up within a week to see if we are a good fit, and then leave the ball in your until you are comfortable and ready to get started.
Step 3
Onboarding - Become a Client
When you are ready to move forward, we will handle all of the necessary paperwork and send everything to you for signatures. Once completed, we will establish your personal client portal, providing you with 100% access and a comprehensive view of all your accounts.
