We have designed this process to give you (and us) a framework for making an educated and informed decision about working together. Of equal importance, you will finish this process knowing exactly where you stand in the four key areas of retirement success.
For people who are potentially a good fit for our firm, there is no cost or obligation for this process as we want you to know exactly how we can help you before you pay us a single dollar in fees or trust us with a penny of your nest egg.
If you are the financial decision maker in your life, with a minimum of $750,000 to invest in your retirement, and are looking for a professional partner to help you align your money with the rest of your life, then we welcome the chance to discuss how we can work together for your success.

Getting Ready for Our Meeting
– Information Gathering
The goal of this meeting is to get clear on your goals, concerns, and circumstances. You will receive prior to this meeting a simple data gathering questionnaire with a checklist of information to gather and bring to the meeting.
No Obligation, Complimentary Observations Meeting
Here is where you will receive our observations and ideas to consider, the steps of our process, how we can help you, and our fees. During this meeting we will ask you to communicate your financial goals, discuss your investing history, and provide us with an overview of your current financial situation. We will ask a few questions to help uncover where you stand with regard to tax rate risk as well as other risks that may apply to your situation and what can be done.
We can schedule the next visit to sign forms to get our work together started, or feel free to take your time and sleep on it and let us know when you’re ready.*
If you have additional questions or concerns that come up later about the process or the observations discussed during this meeting, please reach out so you can get the answers you need.
*While we would love to work with you, if you decide that it’s not a good fit, we will wish you all the best and every success. In other words, there is never a hard-sell or pressure to say yes. We only ask that you let us know so that we will promptly remove you from any follow ups.
Great News! We are moving forward together.
Let's Get STARTED!
Paperwork Meeting
During this meeting, we will cover all steps to open your accounts, specific investment recommendations, how to access your online portal, and what to expect from your partnership with us.
