I
have over 27 years of financial planning and investment advice
experience.
I
currently manage over $ 38 million for 81 individuals
and closely-held businesses in five states (as of December,
2009).
Our
minimum investment account size is $ 100,000, although I do make
exceptions for current clients, their family members, and client
referrals.
But,
I do more than just manage money. As you can see, I don't have
a large number of clients. The reason for that is, unlike many
advisors, I've chosen to limit my client base so that I can provide
the kind of personal attention, sound advice, and specific strategies
that may help you become financially successful. My experience
is that advisors with hundreds of clients and hundreds
of accounts have a difficult time effectively serving those clients.
My clients benefit primarily from the integrated financial planning
models I create for them. These planning models serve as a "blueprint"
for the problems and issues we all need to solve when it comes
to our family, our jobs, money, estate plan, business, risk management
plans, cash flow, retirement plans, investment portfolios, income
taxes, planning for college, financing a home, buying a vehicle,
caring for elderly parents, etc...
In other words, we integrate all of your financial and life issues
into a comprehensive plan that may help you provide answers to more than one
problem at a time. It is my belief that you cannot be financially
successful when you only plan with a single purpose. There are
just too many issues involved to focus on just one area. I believe
a comprehensive, integrated plan is the only way to make sure
all of your financial bases are covered. Of course, your planning
models will change as your life changes . . . and we all know
how life changes . . . so I modify your planning models as needed.
Remember --- the most important financial decision you
will probably ever make is the decision to develop your own integrated
financial plan.
