    Consultation

    Week 1

    A conversation to see if we're the right fit for each other.

    • Get to know each other's goals, values, and working style
    • Review your current financial situation at a high level
    • Understand what's working, what isn't, and what's keeping you up at night
    • No obligation, no pressure - just an honest conversation

    Discovery

    +2 Weeks

    Understanding the full picture - not just the numbers behind it.

    • Ask the questions no statement can answer - what you want, what you fear, and what you've never told a financial advisor before
    • Understand your family dynamic, your vision for retirement, and what you want your wealth to ultimately do
    • Simultaneously have you compile your financial documents - statements, tax returns, estate documents, and insurance policies
    • The documents tell us where you are. These conversations tell us where you want to go.

    • Review and refine together until every detail reflects what matters most to you
