Financial Services |
| Financial Planning for Businesses
Small businesses now have access to the same 401(k) plans as big businesses. Having a 401(k) plan can help recruit and retain employees. It gives employees the ability to personalize their retirement planning strategy and set retirement goals. It can also provide employers tax advantages for offering the plan. |
| Financial Planning for Individuals
Our goal is to help clients align their work, family, health, and community through a financial plan. Understanding each client and family's intent helps our team develop and review the right path forward. |
| Portfolio Management
We work with each client to walk through the right portfolio solutions to keep their goals on track. Our team constantly monitors, adjusts, and rebalances portfolios based on each client's objectives. |
| Retirement Planning
Your life is unique and your retirement is unique. Today retirement can mean financial independence, playing golf, starting another career, traveling, watching grandchildren, or coaching a high school varsity team. We don't define retirement, we work with our clients to keep it on track. |
| Insurance Planning
We work with our clients to identify the right insurance needs to protect their assets and their family. We coordinate this effort with their insurance service or an insurance team that can help find the right solutions. |
| Tax Advice and Services
Conversion Strategies, appropriate retirement income strategies, managing portfolio changes - all of these can have an impact of your taxes. We work with your tax advisor to coordinate and develop the right strategy. |
| Education Funding and Planning
Education Planning (for yourself or your children) needs to occur well before mature learners or young scholars are poised to embrace higher education. Luckily, there are a number of government-encouraged educational planning tools that are available to individuals and families. |
| Investment Advice & Management
We utilize an in-house CFA to help build out our portfolios. Investment success comes from the proper asset allocation that matches the client's long-term investment goals with their ability to tolerate short-term market volatility. Allocation isn't just about the investments, it is also what type of accounts are holding those investments. |
| Money Management
Investment success comes from the proper asset allocation that matches the client's long-term investment goals with their ability to tolerate short-term market volatility. |
| Financial Advice & Consulting
It we are not the right fit for someone, we may know an advisor that is the right fit. We are happy to try and help people find the right advisor. |
| 401K Rollovers
We streamline the process for rolling over 401k assets, we help manage the assets to align with the client's goals. Most 401k plans charge over 1% and participants are not aware of the costs. We typically charge the same fee with a much more personalized strategy and plan. |
| Annuities
Although we do not default to Annuities, some clients enjoy the safety and security of these investment vehicles. We offer a unique approach to this market with commission free annuities and working with others to solve client needs. |
| Estate Planning & Trusts
Our trust experience helps us provide guidance and support to our client's estate planning goals. We can help structure a plan and work with the right attorneys to build out the estate documents. |
| Wealth Management
We came from a Trust company. So our back ground, experience, and knowledge provides value to client's at almost any level. |
| Risk Management
One of the pillars of our investment strategy is managing the risk in the portfolio and helping our clients understand the risk. This keeps stick to the goal when things get rough and there will likely be a time when we are helping clients handle market fluctuations. |
