Before We Meet

A few questions worth thinking about

There are no wrong answers here. A little reflection before we meet helps us focus the conversation on what matters most to you.

What are your top six financial priorities, in order of importance?

Retirement timing, paying off the house, education funding, travel, charitable giving, leaving a legacy — whatever they are, ranking them tells us where to start.

Are there any financial concerns you'd like to discuss?

Market swings, taxes, healthcare costs, supporting family members — if something keeps you up at night, we want to hear about it.

Looking ahead, what would make our work together a success for you?

A year from now, what would need to be true for you to feel this was time well spent?
