Our Retirement Navigator Program
is a 7 Step Process...
1. Discovery
We will discuss and evaluate your current financial situation.
2. Understanding
This step involves discussing your “present plan” that reflects your current cashflow, assets, and liabilities. We will also help you establish goals and objective timelines.
3. Economic Modeling
We analyze and evaluate current and alternative strategies to establish effective tactics for the future. This step is intended to be interactive, so your input is required to guarantee that the plan is customized to your specific needs and goals.
4. Confidence
Building on the work we have done together in the previous steps, we will now start to implement the strategies we have created to enhance your future plan. We take time to ensure you have a complete understanding of the investment products and recommendations, and we always alert you with updates or new information.
5. Monitoring
We constantly track your results to ensure we are working towards your financial goals effectively.
6. Navigation
We all experience change throughout our lifetime, and it is important that your plans and strategies remain current. Our plans are designed to be implemented based on your current resources with opportunities for future enhancements.
7. Lifetime Growth
Over time you may experience financial windfalls such as an inheritance or paying off your mortgage, career promotions, etc. These events provide the opportunity to enhance your financial situation for your entire lifetime if they are properly integrated into your financial model before temptation arises.
