Ongoing Planning
Annual Calendar
Our Annual Calendar (pictured above) focuses on the critical themes many people see on a recurring basis.
By highlighting these 4 topics annually, we tackle the most common concerns before they become a problem.
A Plan Only Works if it is Executed
Taking action is the key to a successful plan. Unfortunately, most people with a plan never execute their vision. Financial Advisor Magazine reported that 70% of clients failed to implement their financial plans. Follow this link to read the article. Because of this dismal failure rate, our ongoing financial planning services were designed to exceed the actions of most financial planning firms.

A la carte Services for a Fee
Our full-service program provides comfort to clients knowing that our team is available when they need us at no additional cost. You will have unlimited access to our team with a dedicated advisor. If we haven't spoken in a while, we will contact you to schedule a meeting based on your preferences, typically every 4-6 months. We limit the number of clients per advisor so we can build deeper relationships with each client.
Everyone deserves access to premier financial planning, but not everyone wants full-service attention. This platform is best for clients that feel comfortable executing their plan with an annual Financial Plan Review to maximize their potential. If your needs become more complex, we are available for a financial strategy session at an hourly rate. Most services provided under Partnership are available for an additional fee.
Which Ongoing Service is Best for You?
We created 2 service levels because not everyone desires the same amount of attention. With either option, you get the highest ethical standards and expertise. The decision comes down to what you want included and if you prefer to pay a higher fee for full access to all our programs. Most services provided under Partnership are available for an additional fee under Membership. If your needs change, you can switch platforms.

Partnership Price Calculator
We created a fee calculator based on the most common needs we see over and over again during the development of financial plans. This calculator generates a consistent and fair fee for our full-service ongoing planning platform.
We evaluate 20 elements during the development of your financial plan. Your personalized fee will be shared before the delivery of your plan so you have plenty of time to ask any questions. Some of those 20 factors are highlighted to the right.
Your fee is reviewed every 2 years to ensure we are charging based on the work we are currently performing.
