What’s your current situation and how can we help you?
Get organized
As a financial advisor, we draw on an ongoing process to help achieve peace of mind for clients throughout Washington, including the Spokane Valley, and the United States. The first step to building your financial plan is achieving clarity in your current situation. Our process organizes your financial life, allowing you to make confident and informed financial decisions.
The most intimidating part of financial planning is commonly just figuring out where to start. Our process begins by gathering all of your financial data and organizing it in our financial planning software. Once this is completed, your entire financial picture will be condensed into one central hub. With all of your data at your fingertips, we can now begin to put all the pieces of your financial plan together.
Data commonly gathered:
- Most recent tax return
- Paystubs
- Estate Planning Documents
- Mortgage Statements
- Real Estate Holdings
- Any other liabilities
- Insurance Policies
- Investment Accounts
- Retirement Accounts
- Pension Estimates
