Financial Planning for Businesses

We help business owners take advantage of strategies that address common problems such as business continuation and key man protection to name a few. A comprehensive approach helps to ensure that crucial details do not go undetected. In addition, we work with owners to establish and review employee retirement plans.

Financial Planning for Individuals

We strive to identify where you are currently in relationship to your financial goals and highlight those issues that may represent a potential obstacle in pursuing your goals. Our personal service begins with an analysis of where you are today and we then project that into the future to see where you are in relationship to your goals.

Financial Advice & Consulting

We provide customized investment management services based upon a process and your comfort level with risk and long- term objectives.

Portfolio Management

In developing your investment strategy, we start with a process of discovering who you are, what your priorities are, and what you want to achieve. Then we apply that to manage investment solutions that best fit your unique needs. We offer a range of investment and services to help you pursue your goals: Individual stock portfolios, individual bond portfolios, comprehensive portfolio management, ongoing investment monitoring, asset allocation, hedging strategies, risk management, income strategies, tax planning, and periodic portfolio reviews.

We will continuously monitor your plan, adjusting as markets and your circumstances change.

401K Rollovers

A plan participant leaving an employer typically has four options (and may engage in a combination of these options), each choice offering advantages and disadvantages. For balance, please update your material to include each option below: " Leave the money in his/her former employer's plan, if permitted"; "Roll over the assets to his/her new employer's plan, if one is available and rollovers are permitted"; " Roll over to an IRA"; or " Cash out the account value.

Insurance Planning

We sit down with each of our clients and look through their risk management needs to help determine if insurance is a specific need or if what you have is sufficient. If an insurance product is found to be helpful to protect the client, we go through the advantages and disadvantages of several types of insurance products to help them understand what may help benefit them.

Annuities

Education on the proper use of annuities and incorporating them into your retirement plan if needed and desired. Review current contracts to make sure that they are a fit and that you understand what you have.

Estate Planning & Trusts

Estate Planning includes many aspects ranging from the establishment and updating of wills, trusts, insurance, long term care, beneficiary designations, Powers of Appointment, and gifting. With the ever-changing tax law, healthcare overhaul and other dynamic issues at play, it is increasingly vital to make sure you are up to date in each of the spaces to ensure your wealth is protected from unnecessary tax burdens. We will also collaborate with your existing team of CPAs, Attorneys and others as needed, to prioritize your comfort and financial well- being.

Risk Management

Clients should only accept as level of risk as necessary to achieve their financial goals. We design portfolios for more than the priority of just returns - eliminating undue risk is an equally important objective.
