Planning in Action

Most Financial Planners focus on investments or insurance. Speaking with you 1-2 times a year giving you an update on markets or the latest insurance product to purchase. However, proactive planning is an action that is resulting in progress being made.

Examples:

  1. Reviewing equipment or short term rental properties as a tax strategy by coordinating with trusted CPAs and Tax Attorneys.

  2. Review of lifetime tax projection and current state and federal tax credits and deductible to consider.

  3. Building out a custom investment portfolio and showing you have to implement online.

  4. Coordinating with an trusted estate planning attorney to get new estate documents with correct title on accounts and property.

  5. Helping review business cash flow statements to figure out what benefits to build into the business and coordinating with Third Party Administrators.

  6. Review of your homeowner and auto insurance and then coordinating with a Property and Causality agent to add umbrella insurance coverage.

We outline in the plan what areas need to be improved and agree on next steps together. Then we implement these action items, at a high level, to get the desired outcomes.
