What does a financial advisor do?

We focus on helping people in the following areas:

  • Financial Planning - Comprehensive planning designed to coordinate cash flow, savings, investments, tax considerations, and long-term goals.
  • Retirement Planning - Working with you to develop a retirement strategy that is tailored to your circumstances and intended to support long-term needs.
  • Investment Advice - Helping inform the construction of a diversified portfolio aligned with your risk tolerance and financial goals.
  • Retirement Income Planning - Supporting your evaluation of various income sources during retirement, including Social Security, pensions, annuities, and withdrawal strategies.
  • Tax Planning Considerations - Coordinating planning strategies intended to improve tax efficiency over time in partnership with other advisors when appropriate.
  • Ongoing Support and Review: Retirement planning is not a one-time event but an ongoing process. We offer continuous support and regular reviews of your retirement plan to adjust for changes in your life circumstances, market conditions, and financial goals.

Questions to Ask a Potential Advisor

When choosing a financial advisor, it's important to understand how they operate and whether their interests are aligned with yours. Here are some key questions to ask:

  • Are you a fiduciary? A financial advisor with a fiduciary duty is legally obligated to put your interests first. This is a critical distinction, so be sure to ask this question directly.
  • How are you compensated? Understanding a financial advisor's compensation structure helps you assess potential conflicts of interest. Fee-only or fee-based advisors typically have more transparent compensation models.
  • What services do you provide? Clarify the scope of financial services offered to ensure they align with your needs.
  • What is your process for developing a financial plan? A thorough financial advisor will take the time to understand your financial situation, goals, and risk tolerance before making any recommendations.
