Financial Planning
When you plan with us, you’ll have an experienced advisor leading a dedicated team with a diverse range of financial expertise. Our plans are tailored to you from a wide range of financial options and strategies designed to help you achieve the goals you have now, and later on.
We will also work closely with any other financial relationships you have—streamlining things for you and giving you a trusted point person to oversee all aspects of your wealth management.
We believe that the strongest financial plan begins with the priorities you have for your life. That’s why we start by understanding your values, goals, and where you stand financially today before making any recommendations.
Our comprehensive approach will help you and your family enjoy your wealth for generations. When you work with our financial advisors, you can be confident that you’ll have:
- Someone who’ll listen to you, identify with your situation, and understand what you want to accomplish
- A partner who can help see blind spots others can’t or haven’t considered
- An expert in advanced investment and risk management strategies
- A trusted specialist who can create a flexible financial strategy that will help leverage opportunities for your life now, and down the road
Fee-Based Financial Planning
When you want a financial plan built with your goals and interests put above all else, it’s a good time to engage one of our fee-based financial advisors.

Fee-Based Financial Planning
When you want a financial plan built with your goals and interests put above all else, it’s a good time to engage one of our fee-based financial advisors.
We’ll be transparent about what our planning services will, and will not include, so you’ll know exactly what you’re getting upfront. And when it comes to the cost of our services, we’ll let you know upfront about that, too.
Under this fee structure, your advisor will act as a fiduciary, so they have a legal and moral responsibility to place your interests first. They’ll work with you to understand your unique circumstances and provide expert guidance in the creation of your personalized financial plan.
If it makes sense for you, your advisor’s role can go beyond planning to help you find the best insurance products, brokerage, advisory and/or private client platform solutions to put your plan into action.
Making smart decisions about your wealth, whether you want to grow it, protect it or both, starts with a broader perspective and sound thinking. Here’s our unique way of thinking when it comes to helping you make important financial decisions.
Reach your new level of financial confidence
We approach financial planning differently. Not only can we help you grow your money, but also help protect everything you’ve worked so hard for—so your finances can take you further.

The planning process consists of four quadrants or phases, each one representing one planning cycle: Discovery, Creative Solutions, Strategy Deployment, and Results Management.
- Protection strategies
- Wealth accumulation
- Managing tax strategies
- Optimizing retirement
- Leaving a legacy
- Charitable planning

Life Insurance Planning
While providing the protection you need, our solutions play a key part in your financial plan, giving you more financial flexibility throughout your life.

Life Insurance Planning
While providing the protection you need, our solutions play a key part in your financial plan, giving you more financial flexibility throughout your life. We’ll listen to what's important for you to do today and down the road, and evaluate which type of coverage, and amount, could help you reach your goals.
You work hard to give your loved ones every advantage. The right life insurance can make sure that you leave a legacy for loved ones and help maintain their standard of living when you’re no longer here.
Our evaluations are based on your goals, priorities, and the role life insurance will play in your financial plan. From protection that lasts for a set amount of time (term life) or a lifetime (permanent life), we have a solution. And with permanent life, you also get financial benefits that you can use while you’re living, including:
- Financial flexibility for emergencies and opportunities
- A cash accumulation that grows over time and can be used for anything
- A tax-advantaged way (via a cash accumulation) to help grow your wealth
If you’re a business owner, offering life insurance as part of a comprehensive benefits package can help to recruit and retain valuable employees and help them feel financially secure while contributing to the success of your business.
Life insurance can also minimize the financial impact felt by the passing of a key contributor to your business. Its cash accumulation (or cash value) can be used to cover the potential loss of business or to recruit a successor.
Disability Income Planning
Help protect your earning power and keep your goals on track if an unexpected injury or illness prevents you from working.

Disability Income Planning
Help protect your earning power and keep your goals on track if an unexpected injury or illness prevents you from working. No matter the type of job or career you have (or business you own), we have options that can give you more choice and more control.
Your ability to earn a living is likely the most important financial asset you have. Having a plan ready to go should you experience a disability, can help you rest easier knowing that your goals, big and small, can keep moving forward.
Individuals – While you focus on getting better, your goals like leaving a legacy or saving for a second home can still stay on track when you have a plan.
Physicians and Dentists – With a plan, you’re not just protecting your income, you’re protecting the investment you've made in your career.
Business owners and employers – A plan can help keep your business running if you or another key employee becomes too sick or injured to do their job, and by enhancing your benefits package with a plan you can help protect your employees, too.
Long-Term Care Planning
Having a long-term care plan in place will give you (or a loved one) choice and control over where and how to receive care should it be needed.

Long-Term Care Planning
Having a long-term care plan in place will give you (or a loved one) choice and control over where and how to receive care should it be needed. Plus, a plan will let your loved ones know your wishes and lessen the burden of the physical and emotional strains that can come with the need for long-term care.
Someday, you or a loved one may need ongoing help with day-to-day tasks like bathing, eating, or getting dressed. The cost of care is often underestimated and might not be covered by health insurance or Medicare. Long-term care planning can help you manage the assets that you’ve worked so hard for, so your family focus on offering love and support.
