What is the difference between financial planning and investment management?

Investment management focuses on managing your portfolio. Comprehensive financial planning covers your income strategy, tax positioning, insurance, estate plan, and investment management together.

How often do I need to update my financial plan?

A plan should be reviewed after any major life event such as retirement, a business sale, a death in the family, or a significant inheritance, and at minimum once a year.

What should I bring to my first meeting?

Generally, a sense of your income sources, a rough picture of your current savings and accounts, and the financial questions that have been on your mind. We will send a brief preparation email after you schedule your free consultation with exactly what to bring.
