Common Questions

Financial Planning FAQs

What topics are typically covered in a financial plan?

Financial planning often involves much more than investments. Depending on your situation, a plan may address retirement planning, tax considerations, cash flow, insurance, estate planning, education funding, and other financial goals. The recommendations are tailored to your circumstances and priorities rather than following a standardized template.

How is financial planning different from investment management?

Financial planning and investment management serve different but complementary purposes. Financial planning focuses on your overall financial picture, including retirement, taxes, cash flow, insurance, estate planning, and other goals. Investment management focuses on designing and overseeing a portfolio that supports those objectives. We believe these areas are most effective when coordinated. Investment decisions can affect taxes, retirement income strategies, and other planning considerations, which is why our ongoing advisory relationships integrate both financial planning and investment management.

When does it make sense to work with a financial planner?

Many people seek financial planning when they are approaching retirement, experiencing a major life transition, accumulating significant assets, or looking for a more coordinated approach to managing their financial lives. The need for planning is often driven more by complexity and important decisions than by any specific account balance.

Is the financial plan something I keep?

Yes. Financial planning engagements typically result in written recommendations that you can keep and reference. Many clients also choose to continue working with us on an ongoing basis as their circumstances and goals evolve.

Is financial planning a one-time project or an ongoing process?

Financial planning can be approached either way, but many financial decisions require ongoing review as circumstances change. Retirement planning, investment strategy, tax considerations, and estate planning often evolve over time. As a result, many individuals and families choose to work with an advisor on an ongoing basis rather than viewing financial planning as a one-time event.

What's the difference between a fee-only planner and a fee-based planner?

Fee-only advisors are compensated directly by their clients and do not receive commissions for selling financial products. Fee-based advisors may charge fees while also receiving commissions in certain situations. Understanding how an advisor is compensated can be an important part of evaluating potential conflicts of interest.

How do I know if I'm a good fit for your firm?

While every situation is unique, many of our clients are approaching or living in retirement, navigating a significant life transition, or seeking a more coordinated approach to financial planning. We generally work best with individuals and families who value ongoing advice and a long-term relationship with their advisor.
