Backwards Planning Financial

We Plan with the End in Mind
Start with well defined goals
To do backwards planning we need to start with each goal's decumulation plan. This is how you want to turn assets into dollars for the purpose of funding that goal. We will go over multiple ways to accomplish your goals, and then I will make a suggestion based upon your values and what is efficient.
Then we will talk about contingency planning. In other words what can go wrong that we can't control. We will strategize how to plan ahead for them.
Once that is thought through we will backwards plan on what to do today across many aspects like company/military benefits, investments, estate planning, insurance planning, debt planning, and my favorite tax planning.
We will walk through your plan like using a sand table.
We start one step at a time in execution at your speed.
Look at where you are today
Your plan will help you make the most of what you already have, no matter where you're starting from, and give you a snapshot of your financial big picture.
Identify where you want to go
Whether it's shorter-term goals like managing your debt, or longer-term ones like saving for a new home, or retirement, your financial plan will show you how you're tracking, help you understand what's working, and point out any gaps you might have.
Put together range of options to get you there
Looking across all your goals, you'll get personalized recommendations and strategies to grow your wealth while making sure everything's protected. And I'll help you determine the right moves to make today and later on. Your financial plan is based on your priorities. As those priorities change throughout your life, we'll shift the financial strategies in your plan, too-so your plan stays flexible, and you stay on track to consistently meet goal after goal.
Financial planning
Our financial planning conversations don't begin with your finances. Instead we start with you - your life, your family, your priorities, and goals. Once we have your big picture in focus, we'll tailor a plan from a range of financial options using multiple strategies designed specifically to help get you to where you want to be.
Retirement planning
We tailor your plan to fit you and your goals with a range of financial options. From insurance for protection to strategies for growing your money and providing more flexibility, we'll help you live the retirement you always wanted.
Education funding
With the cost of school continuing to rise, it's more important than ever to have a plan to pay for it. From strategies for saving and funding education to how whole life insurance can play a role, we can help you understand your options.
Estate planning
We can help you coordinate with your other advisors like attorneys, accountants, and tax professionals to do things like set up trusts, minimize taxes, and administrative costs that can protect the legacy you leave behind.
Business planning
No matter if your business is big or small, we'll work hard to help you grow. From protecting against risk and managing growth, to attracting and retaining top talent, we have a range of solutions designed for you and your employees.
