Financial Planning

Do you know what your business is worth? Do you have a succession plan in place if something unexpected happens? How will the sale of your business affect your retirement? Our financial planners can help you answer these questions, with a focus on four areas of business financial planning.

Risk Management

Our team identifies risks that could tremendously impair your financial situation. While it’s important to focus on what may go right with your situation, it’s also crucial to consider how you may be negatively impacted without protections in place. Transferring risk to the deeper pockets of an insurance company in a cost-effective manner may be prudent to minimize the financial damage of a catastrophic, unanticipated event.

Some of the ways we utilize insurance in the financial planning process include:

Life Insurance

Considers income replacement as well as business succession funding and estate planning through a vehicle which may be income tax and estate tax-free, if structured properly.

Disability Insurance

Protects your income in the event of your inability to work prior to financial freedom.

Long-Term Care

Provides financial support for activities of daily living in respite care, adult day care, in-home care, assisted living and nursing home care.

Why Should I Hire a Financial Advisor?

I’m looking at my clients’ money profile and I see it: a retirement plan account opened through a robo platform. This fact is not surprising, I had previously discussed this with my client. They wanted to try something different and the investment costs were much lower starting out. In this case, the investments are passive, which I explained meant the investments seek to mimic an index and the only rebalancing expected might be once or twice a year.
