Financial Planning
The concept of Financial Planning is a process of developing financial and protection goals and then developing a plan for achieving those goals. The process for Financial Planning has essentially six steps:
- Establish and define a client – advisor relationship
- Determine goals and gather data regarding current situation
- Analyze and evaluate the data
- Development and acceptance of a plan for achievement of desired goals
- Implementation of the plan
- Constant monitoring of the plan making minor changes as needed.
Financial Planning can be established to achieve a single purpose, multiple purposes or even be totally comprehensive to encompass all financial goals. Areas of planning can include:
- Investment Planning
- Pension/Retirement Planning
- Comprehensive Planning
- Estate Planning
- Portfolio Management
- Income Tax Planning
- Insurance Planning
- Education Planning
- Elder/Long Term Care Planning
- Business Succession Planning
- Business Benefit Planning
The concept of financial planning looks at where you are in your life span as part of the planning process. Throughout the life span the plan is reviewed and revised to address the needs as they change. Determining what is needed and what assets are available to achieve your goals is key to the success.
Throughout the process of financial Planning many types of advisors may be called upon to assist in the process. These include:
- Insurance Agent
- Investment Advisor
- Attorney
- Accountant
- Trust Officer
Using the talents of these individuals and with proper supervision of the annual results substantially increases the probability of achieving the desired results regarding your financial planning needs.
