    DATA GATHERING

    We get to know you and your family, connect financial accounts, and gather financial documents.

    CURRENT SNAPSHOT

    We draft a net worth and initial cash flow projection, and make sure we have a solid "base case".

    ADVICE PRESENTATION

    We put together a comprehensive plan incorporating those scenarios, and our best ideas and advice.

    ACTION PLAN COMMITMENT

    We agree together on which action items seem most compelling, and which might be deferred or dropped.

  6. 06

    IMPLEMENTATION

    We work together for twelve months to implement as much as possible, in concert with your other advisers.

  7. 07

    FUTURE YEARS
