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".

BRAINSTORMING
Together we identify the key scenarios that seem most interesting or important for you.

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.
