I believe that meticulous planning, attention to detail and the importance of a solid foundation are the keys to success in building a business as well as building a successful investment portfolio. Beginning with a get-to-know-you meeting in which we will have a relaxed conversation as we get to know you and you, in turn, get to know us. We will ask you to prioritize your financial goals. We'll then set up a second meeting to suggest options and strategies that can help you meet those goals. At the end of this process, you can decide whether you want to work with us. There is no charge for these initial meetings. Should you decide we are a good fit, we will develop a plan we think will work for you and your financial needs, and we will meet again to refine it and fine-tune it for you. We will never fit you into a preformatted template. And we will never suggest or charge you for services you don't need. Our relationship does not end with the development of your financial plan. We will meet with you regularly to make sure the plan continues to meet your financial needs, both before and after you retire.
