Our Process

The Client Experience

Financial planning is not a one-time event—it’s a relationship that lasts. Hover or tap a segment to see what happens at each step.

We believe in building relationships that last by providing comprehensive and practical wealth management strategies and acting as our clients’ financial quarterbacks. You set your goals, and we build the plan.

The six steps below are the client experience we use: discovery, data, design, presentation, implementation, and an ongoing partnership with regular check-ins to review goals and progress.

Step 01

Discovery Meeting

Every relationship begins with a conversation. We’ll discuss your goals, priorities, and concerns, walk through how we work, and decide together whether we’re a good fit. There is no charge for the initial consultation.

Step 02

Data Gathering

Once we move forward, we collect the details that shape your plan: accounts, income and cash flow, tax returns, insurance, estate documents, special-needs considerations, and the family or charitable goals that matter most to you.

Step 03

Analysis & Design

We study the full picture and design a strategy around your unique situation. That may include retirement income, tax-aware investing, charitable giving, estate coordination, special-needs trusts, and the right mix of accounts and custodians.

Step 04

Plan Presentation

We present your plan in plain language—what we recommend, why it fits, and how it would be implemented. You leave with a clear path, not a stack of unexplained reports.

Step 05

Implementation

With your approval, we put the plan to work: opening or transferring accounts, placing trades, coordinating gifts or trusts, aligning beneficiaries, and connecting you with attorneys, CPAs, and other specialists when helpful.

Step 06

Ongoing Partnership

Markets, taxes, and life all change. We stay with you through regular reviews, proactive advice, and the accountability of check-ins so your plan keeps matching the life you’re living.

How We Work Together

How We’re Compensated


Two straightforward ways to engage—ongoing wealth management, or a one-time comprehensive financial plan.

Ongoing Wealth Management

As fiduciaries, we consider every aspect of the planning process to provide a cohesive and easy-to-understand plan. Ongoing advice, investment management, and accountability through regular reviews keep the plan current as life and markets change.

Planning Consultations

There is no charge for the initial consultation. We’ll discuss your goals, walk through how we work, and decide together whether we’re a good fit—including special-needs consultations with Ethan Freishtat, CFP®, CHSNC®.
