Realistic goals provide the foundation for a solid financial plan. That is why it is important to codify your own. They can include education for children, a second home, your income needs in retirement and plans for your estate. Because no two people are the same, building a financial plan around your specific goals creates a plan that is uniquely yours. We will work closely with you to identify and define your near- and long-term goals, check for goals that may conflict and work to resolve conflicts that arise. Even more important, we’ll set metrics with which to define success and adjust your plan as necessary.

Along with a complete picture of your goals and time horizons, a personalized plan must incorporate current assets and liabilities in order to establish your net worth and monitor it throughout the years to come. We also consider your comfort level with risk so investments can be made accordingly. If applicable, consideration is also given to consolidating accounts to make finances and cash flow easier to track and manage.

Finally, we believe a financial plan should be as flexible as the life it represents. Things change, priorities sometimes shift and new opportunities wait just over the horizon. That is why we regularly monitor your plan’s progress relative to your defined objectives. Should changes need to be made, we rely on our internal resources and experts to help guide our decision process and also to suggest appropriate actions or strategies. Together, we can review the options and make objective decisions. To keep you apprised, we provide ongoing reporting of your account activity and conduct periodic reviews. Because we are truly partners in this important endeavour, we also rely upon you to communicate any significant changes in your life.
