Our Process
Whether it’s developing a financial plan, creating and managing an investment portfolio or undertaking a comprehensive advisory relationship, we at Personal Financial Advisors follow well-defined processes. Our disciplined procedures are the key to consistently meeting the high level of client service to which we’re committed.
Each client’s needs are unique, and our processes help to ensure that we understand your situation and your wishes clearly and deliver advice, solutions and services at the highest level of quality. Our Wealth Management process, below, exemplifies our approach.
- Discovery
- Design
- Implementation
- Maintenance
Discovery
Our Wealth Management relationships begin with a systematic approach to understanding your financial situation and your personal and financial goals. We discuss your comfort level with risk as well as the timeframe in which you’d like to achieve your goals. In addition, we clearly describe:
- The services we will provide
- How we’re paid
- What our responsibilities and yours will be
Design
We then evaluate your financial situation and goals, and design a detailed financial plan as well as an investment strategy. Once our recommendations are complete, we’ll meet with you in order to:
- Explain our advice and recommendations in detail
- Listen to your feedback, including any concerns you may have
- Explain how we may adjust your financial plan and investment approach is and when conditions warrant
Implementation
Once you agree to a set of recommendations, they will be implemented. Depending on the action point, that will be handled by:
- Our firm or
- Your outside expert (such as a CPA) or by one that we recommend.
Maintenance
With recommendations implemented, we will actively and continually monitor your progress toward your goals. We will meet with you regularly for updates, to answer questions and to discuss any adjustments that may be necessitated by changes in:
- Your personal situation
- Market conditions
- Economic conditions
