The GamePlan is our version of the financial planning process. It is modular which means that we analyze and make our recommendations one topic at a time. It is comprehensive as we address all financial items during the process. It is also ongoing since once we have covered all topics, we have a plan to reassess each topic on an appropriate schedule.
During the Vision Phase we want to learn about your WHY? We believe that before we can make any recommendations, we need to learn what you are planning for in the first place.
As financial planners, we take the time necessary to guide you in the visualization of your best life.
The Vision Phase includes 3 different meetings:
Each of the membership packages have a different version of the Vision Phase.
The purpose of the Introductory Meeting is simply to find out if we are a good fit for your financial planning needs, and if you are a good fit for our firm.
The Introductory Meeting is 30 minutes long. During the meeting, we will share with you information about:
After the meeting, we will send you a financial assessment to give you some initial guidance, just to thank you for visiting us.
A week later, we will follow up with you to see if you have any questions.
Once you sign-up as a new financial planning client, we request our new clients to schedule the Discovery Meeting. The Discovery meeting is 90 minutes long.
The Discovery Meeting is where we will get most of the information we need to help you initiate the financial planning process. During this meeting, we do ask a lot of questions to learn more about you, your experience and feelings around money, and the things you want to plan for.
Once we are done, our planners will take the information to start creating a plan draft.
During the Design Meeting, we will share with you our findings and recommendations to get you started in your financial planning process.
We will explain the structure of each of your plans and how each section of the plan interacts together.
We separate planning into 3 different time horizons:
The meeting is filled with information. During this meeting, we help our clients start to translate their life vision (WHY) into a financial plan (HOW).
The Analysis Phase starts as soon as the Vision Phase has been completed. During the time spent in this phase, we guide our clients through what we consider the most financial planning topics when trying to build wealth.
As important elements are adjusted to fit the recommendations (WHAT?) given based on the financial plan design, we continue to check-in regularly on cash flow management and short-term plan guidance.
Each package requires a different level of analysis based on the complexity client finances.
We believe that Cash Flow Management is the most important financial topic.
We have created a process to help our clients gain control of their cash flow to help balance their financial plan saving for future expenses and living for today.
Investment planning is the first of the basic financial planning elements. Our goal is to analyze our clients’ investment portfolios to provide guidance on how to possibly get the returns required in the financial plan while managing risk.
We also will discuss how we may help with portfolio management.
Nobody wants to pay more than their fair share of taxes. Through Tax Planning, we help our clients take advantage of every opportunity the government offers to lower their tax liability.
We help them balance the idea of lowering taxes now and in the future. We believe that Tax Planning is very important when attempting to grow wealth and attain financial independence.

Once clients graduate to the Maintenance Phase, we review each of the Financial Planning elements stated above at different time intervals.
The Optimization Phase is meant to continue adjusting the plan as our clients face life transitions. We discuss their WHY? HOW? & WHAT? as they go through life.
We think that the planning process is never done. Therefore, our process is nimble in nature. We continually help our clients potentially get more life out of their money while preparing for obstacles that might come their way.
The Optimization Phase last indefinitely. Gold Package clients have two planned strategy meetings during this Phase while Silver Package clients meet with an advisor once a year. There is no planned meetings for Bronze Package clients.
