Comprehensive Wealth Planning
We utilize a total wealth management system which simplifies our clients’ live and gives
them access to their financial picture anytime, anywhere via the world-wide web. This comprehensive program is a powerful tool that we leverage for defining, measuring, and achieving the relationship goals and objectives. This system allows us to help clients with cash flow forecasting, retirement projections, education funding, “life event” planning, goal planning, and estate planning. Wealth planning and advisory services are offered through Linsco/Private Ledger.
 

Investment Management
We are affiliated with the number one* (for eleven consecutive years) independent broker/dealer in the country. Linsco/Private Ledger (LPL) provides us with the tools and solutions that help us help our clients reach their goals and objectives. With over 7,000 financial advisors and over $107 billion in assets under management, LPL provides us with the scale to deliver world class investment solutions to our clients.

LPL is a privately-held company which is owned by two private equity firms and management. LPL does not offer investment banking services and does not manufacture any of its own products. This is critical as it enables us to be completely independent and unbiased with respect to investment managers and wealth management solutions. If a manager is not performing, we are under no obligation to work with them.

*As reported in Financial Planning magazine June 1996-2006, based on total revenues.

Risk Management
We assist our clients with defining their risk management goals and designing a plan for retaining, transferring, or sharing risk based upon a comprehensive cost/benefits analysis. We have established relationships with the top life, disability, and long-term care insurance carriers and have developed strategic alliances with other advisors who operate in specialty areas such as health insurance, long-term care insurance, and property and casualty insurance.

 

Mortgage Services
We offer a variety of financing solutions through LPL’s mortgage program including access
to a many choices among adjustable rate, fixed rate and interest only lending solutions. Through this program, we have access to some of the nation’s largest lending institutions. This program enables us to provide our clients with competitive interest rates, competitive loan closing costs, and flexible financing solutions. LPL's mortgage team assists with each mortgage transaction until it is closed, ensuring that our clients receive high-quality service. We have access to numerous purchase and refinance choices including first and second mortgages, refinance mortgages, and home equity lines of credit.

  Cash Management
One of the many advantages of LPL’s scale is the ability to offer up to $1 million of FDIC insured cash accounts. In addition, the interest rates on these accounts are some of the highest in the industry. Interest rates are determined by the amount of assets a client holds
at LPL. This provides an incentive to not only simplify a client’s financial life but get paid for it as well. In addition, LPL provides clients with the ability to write checks from their cash accounts making access to a client’s money quick and easy.
 

Tax Planning
Tax planning services include reviewing tax returns for personal and business entities and recommending strategies for reducing future taxes. Although we do not prepare tax returns, we do work closely with several CPAs and can make referrals as required. Our goal in conducting tax reviews is to leverage our training, background, and expertise into savings
and tax-advantaged wealth creation opportunities for our clients.

 

Implementation and Execution
Once a financial plan has been established, we work with our clients to put it into action. We have relationships with numerous law firms that assist us and our clients by drafting documents for estate plans. You are under no obligation to work with our advisors and we
are happy to work with any professionals with whom our clients already have existing relationships.

 

Retirement Plans
We have the resources and relationships to assist business owners with the design and implementation of retirement plans to help them attract, retain, and motivate the best talent available in the marketplace. Our relationships include some of the strongest and best platforms in the retirement plan industry.

We start by asking questions, listening, and evaluating our clients’ needs. This may include tweaking existing plans or starting from scratch. In short, we have the expertise to help our clients implement a plan to help them reach their goals and objectives.
