The results of this cornerstone lead our firm in referrals to others.  It is not just the return on investments but the very careful approach to risk.  We rate 'risk' as the number one consideration, regardless of someone's age or tolerance.  We have a unique approach which we discuss always in the first few meetings and then throughout a relationship.  Our active approach dictates a robust administrative staff to execute trades through opportunities.

Understanding how to convey an estate to a set of beneficiaries while minimizing taxes and the role of probate, delivers great peace of mind in the financial planning process.  Each client can rest assured that this cornerstone is addressed.

Tax services, including preparation for clients who seek this from us, is one clear way to convey the benefits of sound advice.  Minimizing taxes on your income and investments annually, factors in almost every discussion and decision.

Insurance Planning is more than just to insure a life in the traditional manner.  Today there are concepts available to insure an individual in the event of serious illness.  Money issued through 'critical illness' insurance can permit an individual to reach out to the best medical care.  Disability insurance protects against a loss of income in key years of earning and expenses.  Understanding what may be available through employer sponsored plans and joining them with private plans is always considered.
