Individuals & Families

Money is a tool that helps us accomplish many things in life, like buying a home, funding a child’s education, or creating income for retirement.   Learning how to use the financial tools available to us and developing precise goals can play a key role in orienting our financial lives.  For many, working with a financial advisor can help clarify their goals, define processes for working towards those objectives, and monitor progress towards their aims. 

Every project needs a plan, and your financial life is no different.  But because your life is unique, a financial plan should take account of those distinctive characteristics.  The first part of the process is a discovery phase, where we learn about your financial background, current situation, and what matters in your life. We also use the discovery phase as an opportunity to introduce you to our team and our framework for thinking about personal finances.

Once we are more familiar with each other, we will start working together to build a financial plan that addresses your needs, opportunities, and dreams.  These plans can include short, intermediate, and long-term time horizons, and cover every aspect of your financial life.  Once we agree on a set of actions, we will play a role in implementing those decisions and monitoring progress through periodic review meetings.  

Changes in life are the rule, not the exception.  No financial plan will suit an individual forever, which is why we maintain an adaptive mindset.  As your lifestyle, tastes, and desires change, it is imperative that your financial plan follow suit.  We look forward to partnering with you for years to come, no matter what life may bring.
