Financial Planning Services
To help get a clear picture of your finances, we can use the analysis that your financial life
is like a pyramid. When building a pyramid, we first have to build a strong foundation or
base. This involves making sure that you are protected from potentially disastrous
financial events. No matter how well designed your investment portfolio; the financial
pyramid will fall without adequate insurance in place to protect against lawsuits, death,
disability, and health problems. We also help to make sure that you have adequate cash
reserves in place so that you will not need to access your investment portfolio for short
term cash needs resulting from: insurance deductibles, career changes, house or
automobile repairs, etc. Finally, we make sure that you are taking advantage of all
available tax breaks.
To build the base of the pyramid, we design a financial plan built to help you reach your
goals. The basic financial plan will answer questions such as:
Financial planners serve as the quarterback of your financial team. Since financial
planners have a general knowledge of all areas of your financial situation, we can help
you decide what types of specialists that you might need and help work with those

although your financial plan is designed at a specific point in time, we will be there to help
guide you through any life changes that may alter your financial needs. As you progress
through life, we can help make sure that you are making smart financial decisions. Life
changes such as: a new career, a new baby, buying a bigger house, paying for college,
starting a business, inheritances, retirement, passing assets at death, and creating a
legacy require updates to your financial plan.
In addition, most advisors get paid for selling a product, not for advice. That’s where we
are different. We get paid by you. We are a fee-only financial planning firm. This means
that we do not receive any compensation from any sources other than the client. This
eliminates hidden incentives, kickbacks, commissions, or any other compensation that
may compromise our services. This enables us to provide you with objective advice, with
no conflicts of interest.
The base plan will include:
Special situations that may call for more extensive analysis and spreadsheet design will be
charged an additional fee depending on the complexity of the situation. This will be
negotiated in advance. The special situations would include, but are not limited to:
detailed estate planning or trust analysis, stock option analysis, deferred compensation
payout options, and complex tax analysis.
