Financial Planning - Beyond the numbers. Beside you at every stage.
Guiding practitioners, families, and small businesses through all stages of life since 1999.
WHO WE WORK WITH
We serve families & small businesses with a special focus on Physicians and Dentists. With over twenty-years of experience, we assist medical and dental professionals with finding the unique balance between practice, career, and financial goals.
WHAT WE DO
We provide fee-based, comprehensive financial planning with full-service investment, advisory and risk management solutions. For professionals & small business owners, we integrate consulting with personal financial planning – creating one coordinated strategy.
OUR APPROACH
“Planning is a process, not an event,” we “seek first to understand, before being understood.” We then coordinate the priorities that matter most by working through an interactive process, together, to “test-drive” important planning decisions. Finally, we provide recommendations that you can implement on your own or through our full-service platform.
WHY ARG
We are relied upoon to bring creativity, fresh perspective, and clear direction to complex decision making. As fiduciaries, for our advisory clients, our “plan first” philosophy ensures that decisions are made in the context of each unique financial plan. We build enduring relationships, beyond the numbers, remaining beside you at every stage of life.
Financial Planning
Simplify and organize with a real-time interactive process at all stages of life.
Our financial planning process is interactive, conducted in real-time, with multiple “what-if” scenarios that allows for test driving important decisions before they are made. Provided on a fee-basis, as fiduciaries, this holistic process encompasses all aspects of a client’s situation throughout every life-stage. Although everyone’s focus and final plans are unique common elements include; retirement income planning, cash flow and spending analysis, asset allocation and portfolio analysis, income tax management, risk management, debt management, business succession planning and estate, charitable and gift planning. Complete with a written report and recommendations, clients can choose to implement with us or on their own.
By taking on the role of “quarterback,” we facilitate the planning process with introductions to new advisor relationships such as attorney’s, CPAs, and practice specific consultants or work with existing advisors already in place.
Should a client choose to implement their financial plan with us, we work independently from an open architecture utilizing many different companies and wealth management firms. We provide choices which allows our clients to do what is best for their individual needs.
Investment & Wealth
Management
Manage your wealth with proactive, personalized guidance.
Sitting on the same side of the table with our clients rather than across it, we seek to provide an aligned approach by working independently, from an open architecture, with many different companies and investment management firms. Utilizing this “outsourced” approach allows us to focus on our client’s planning needs while working to manage client assets.
Insurance & Risk
Management
Protect what matters most with proactive risk management.
We work independently, with many different companies, to provide the most appropriate insurance options for our clients. Insurance is best purchased as part of an overall plan which is why we first learn about our client’s needs and then make the appropriate recommendations.
