FAQs
What is a financial plan?
A well-advised holistic plan is more than setting a household budget. It’s a comprehensive process that starts with understanding what you want your life to look like. Through discussions, you paint a picture of what should happen in life to make you happy and fulfilled. We then take a deep dive into your financials to see how best to coordinate and pursue your objectives. This analysis begins by taking a look at the assets you own, what you plan to own, your age, your withdrawal plans, and your cash flow. It also goes deeper by looking at your income, investment strategy, debt level, and tax liabilities. That information forms the foundation of your financial plan.
What does it do for you?
Having a formalized plan empowers you to understand your ways to pursue goals. Looking at tax-efficient strategies, wealth-building distribution strategies, and protection techniques, the plan organizes your belongings based on timelines for the intended use and provides a roadmap to follow. Your plan can set financial benchmarks and can provide you a path to achieve them.
Unlike simply an investment strategy which looks at how to build wealth, a financial plan offers a comprehensive strategy, coordinating all the pieces of your belongings to formulate a cohesive and simple approach while working towards your goals.
Why Should You Have a Financial Planner?
Having goals and a path to them is ideal, but creating that path, brick by brick, can be complicated. Additionally, your plan may change frequently. Having a financial planner means you have an experienced professional to help you make adjustments as necessary and walking through life hand in hand. Stock market fluctuation, political unease and your own changing needs can alter your plan. A financial planner stays the course and helps you to pursue your goals one step at a time, making course corrections as needed.
