Benefits of Working With Me

Some of the key benefits for our clients working with us are getting a trusted, objective advisory firm who they can rely on to help them do the following: 
 
  • Organize their financial life.
  • Cover risks to their financial future. 
  • Analyze their abilities to save or spend. 
  • Help them evaluate how to match the risk/return relationship of their investments to their own personal investment philosophy.  \
  • Give access to an advisor who pro-actively keeps them informed of all necessary adjustments in their financial situation.  
  • Be able to trust that their best interests are being served by this relationship with an advisor (an advocate for their financial well being) who knows everything about their financial situation - their life goals, their ability to live as they wish (or make necessary adjustments not to endanger their income flow), etc. 
  • Have access to another "brain" for helping them make difficult decisions. 
  • Mediate difficult discussions between spouses.  
  • Keep their financial situation current by assigning responsibility for client or advisor tasks with accountability for completion of these tasks.  
  • Develop an asset allocation that maximizes expected return for the level of risk taken. 
  • Utilize tax-efficient investing; including putting the appropriate types of investments in taxable vs. tax-deferred accounts.  
  • Achieve low costs/institutional platforms. Avoid unproductive activities like market timing, chasing fad investments, or concentrated stock positions.
  • Give our clients peace of mind by providing comprehensive financial advisory services from a holistic perspective. 
  • We will partner with our clients to understand their values, and optimize their financial, personal, and social  "new worth."
