Estate Planning

We will review your estate planning needs, existing wills and trusts and recommend steps you can take to maximize the benefits to your heirs while minimizing the tax liability on your legacy.

Employee Benefits

We can provide strategies for exercising stock options, maximizing the tax benefits of flexible spending accounts and achieving an effective balance of retirement accounts and taxable investments.

Retirement Planning

Retirement planning has two phases; accumulation and actual retirement. During the accumulation phase we assist clients in setting goals and implementing strategies to meet them. We help our retired clients enjoy the lifestyle they’ve earned.

 

icon

Insurance

After reviewing your current policies, we can offer unbiased judgment on whether they meet your needs. If additional policies are warranted, we can suggest options objectively, since we do not sell any products. 

 icon

Investment Advisory Services

Our foremost concern is your success, not product sales. We will use our expertise to develop an effective investment strategy designed to reach your objectives while reflecting your tolerance for risk.

Tax Planning & Preparation

We prepare your personal income taxes and provide you with professional tax-planning advice year-round. By teaching you how to reduce your taxes, tax savings often offset our annual retainer fee.

Open Retainer

An Open Retainer provides holistic/comprehensive financial planning for a fixed fee over the course of one year. Services provided may include, but are not limited to: tax preparation, tax planning, insurance review, inventory of assets, analysis of financial goals, portfolio analysis, development of an asset allocation strategy, no-load mutual fund recommendations, retirement planning and estate plan reviews. More Info

EdgeAhead

EdgeAhead is designed for Young Professionals who have important financial questions, but do not have the assets to warrant a full-time financial advisor. More info:  Financial Review Contract

Financial Review

Financial Reviews consist of three-hours of appointment time and concentrate on specific topics of interest to the client. The Financial Review is an excellent way to begin the financial planning process. Your questions get answered and both you and the Advisor can determine if ongoing planning services are warranted. 

The fee for this service is $2,000. If a client wishes to upgrade to the Open Retainer option, they may receive credit toward their Open Retainer for fees paid for a financial review within the prior thirty days. Financial Review ContractFinancial Profile
