Financial Planning—Our 3-Step Approach

	Assess your overall finances and develop a personal financial snapshot
	Categorize your investments by tax treatment and asset style. (Tax efficiency/Asset allocation matrix)
	Listen carefully and discuss your short and long term financial objectives.
	Develop various options that would allow your financial goals to be achieved.
	Input your financial data into our planning software to present how prepared you are for retirement based upon today's assumptions.
	We educate you on how the investments work. We show you what types of investment vehicles are available and which ones are compatible with your risk tolerance.
	Look for ways that wealth is being transferred out of your investible assets.
	Assess risk management: What are the chances you could die too early, become disabled or live too long?
	Coordinate other investments such as 401k and stock accounts to provide recommendations.

	Based upon your decisions and risk tolerance, we implement the appropriate financial plan to achieve your retirement objectives.
	Implement strategies that fit the family budget and take care of dying too soon, becoming disabled or living too long.
	Coordinate funding into retirement vehicles that are a part of their financial plan.
	If you desire, we can transfer existing assets to Roussel & Associates for future management. (Brokerage Account, Individual Stocks, IRA, etc.)
	Set appointments to meet with other professionals, such as CPA's and attorneys to complete the financial plan.

	Provide ongoing personal consultation as needed to help with your daily financial decisions.
	Conduct annual reviews to accommodate changing life situations and market conditions.
	Continue to educate you about changing laws and regulations affecting retirement planning. Educate through annual reviews and information posted on our website.
	Put you in contact with other professionals such as mortgage brokers, CPA's, and attorneys, as situations change in your life. Be a resource center for any and all financial decisions
	Inform you about changes in their investment funds. We constantly watch for manager changes and style drifts in mutual fund investments.
	Help you evaluate changes in other investments, such as new funds added to your company’s 401k. Coordinate those new funds with your established plan and goals.
	Assess changes in company benefits, such as group disability and cafeteria plans. Minor changes in benefits can have major effects on individual financial plans.
	Help you achieve and meet annual goals, such as saving for a second home, boat, car or a child’s college education.
