FIND THE RIGHT LEVEL FOR YOU

Three Common Levels of Planning

Investment planning is a good start. Goals-based planning adds direction. Comprehensive financial planning connects the whole picture.

01

Investment Planning

A good start.

  • We work together to mutually select investment strategies that make sense for you.
  • We review those strategies as necessary.
02

Goals-Based Planning

Better direction.

  • Keep the foundation of investment planning and take time to understand where you are today.
  • Clarify where you want to go.
  • Work out how to get there, including the obstacles that might be in the way and how to plan for them.
03

Comprehensive Financial Planning

A more complete picture.

  • Build on your investments and goals, then see your whole picture across your tax, legal, investments, insurance and, when relevant, business interests.
  • Look at how the pieces work together, not just how each performs on its own. A tax decision, investment choice, legal document or insurance policy can affect the other pieces.
  • Uncover coordination gaps that might be costing you without you even knowing it, then bring your professionals together around clear priorities and coordinated next steps.

Not everybody needs comprehensive planning.

The point of the X-Ray is to find out if you could benefit from it.

If you do need help, wouldn’t you want to know about it?

About 30 to 40 short questions, about 10 minutes. Your answers stay on your device. Nothing is sent to anyone unless you ask for a meeting.

Start where you are.

Whether you’re a business owner or a professional who serves them, find out in about 10 minutes if comprehensive financial planning could help uncover costly coordination gaps and create clarity, confidence, and coordinated execution.

Pick a place to start and find out where you stand today.

WHY TAKE THE X-RAY

See your whole picture on one map.

You already have good people. Each one sees a piece. The X-Ray shows how the pieces fit, where the coordination gaps are, and whether a closer look is worth your time.

Left: five separate pieces labeled investments, insurance, tax, legal and business, with question marks in the gaps between them. Right: the same five pieces connected to one map in the center.
