How We Deliver Financial Planning To Our Clients

How We Deliver Financial Planning

What Is A Financial Plan?

A financial plan is a personal document created to help:

  1. Assess your current financial situation.
  2. Determine what you want to accomplish with your finances.
  3. Help you make better financial decisions going forward. 

According to the CFP Board, the financial planning process is defined as:

“A collaborative process that helps maximize a Client’s potential for meeting life goals through Financial Advice that integrates relevant elements of the Client’s personal and financial circumstances.”

Why Is a financial plan Important?

During the financial planning process, you start to learn quite a bit about your overall financial health. And it’s possible that you might not have even realized you were in rough shape without building your personal plan.

Financial planning is important because it helps you identify and prioritize your goals.

It also aims to give you a complete picture of where you stand financially and identify changes you may need to make to increase the likelihood of achieving your goals—for example, which account types and financial products make sense for your personal situation.

Some advantages of investing like compounding potential returns are realized over time so having a plan and starting early is important for the long term.

A financial plan can also help you uncover vulnerabilities, like not having enough saved in an emergency fund or being underinsured.

And it may make you feel more confident and comfortable with the choices in your investment portfolio when the markets go up and down.

That’s why having a financial plan is important for people of all ages and financial backgrounds—not just older, wealthy people.
