Financial Planning

All your finances and resources: your home, your car(s), your vacations, your children’s education, your retirement, the inheritance for your grandchildren, etc… should all be included in your planning.

With the springing up of so many “financial planning” firms and designations such as CFP, Certified Financial Planner, many people now use the term 'financial planning' when they really mean “Investment Planning”. However, investments are only one aspect of your finances. Firms that makes their income from commissions on sales may not always look at your whole picture.

In our firm financial planning combines:

  • your dreams and aspirations for the future,
  • your current financial resources,
  • your skills and capacities

and helps you develop a process for achieving your goals.

Our Planning Services:

  • Business Plans
  • Tax Plans
  • Education Plans
  • Retirement Plans
  • Estate Plans

Why do we call investment companies 'brokers' instead of 'wealthiers'?

"I believe that the ultimate goal of most financial planning is to develop wealth that can be passed on to the next generation. Therefore the best planning will be long-term in scope and conservative in nature."

“But don’t begin until you count the cost. For who would begin construction of a building without first getting estimates and then checking to see if there is enough money to pay the bills? Otherwise, you might complete only the foundation before running out of funds. And then how everyone would laugh at you! They would say, ‘there’s the person who started that building and ran out of money before it was finished!’

Luke 14:28-30
