The Process

Below is an outline of how the financial planning process works with the Round Table Advisors. One of our advisors will walk you through each step to ensure all of your questions are answered and financial needs addressed.

Meet

Our first meeting is simply an opportunity for us to get to know each other. This is a time for you to ask questions about us and share your thoughts on what you'd like to achieve. In turn, we'll learn about you, share our financial planning philosophy and introduce you to the next phases of our process.

Prepare

The members of our team will use the data you provided in the initial meeting to create an easy-to-understand financial plan recommendation that will offer insights into your current situation. During this process, we may contact you to clarify and/or expand upon the information. Of course, all communication with us will be kept completely confidential.

Create & Present

In our next meeting, we'll be ready to discuss your needs in greater detail and will present you with a financial plan recommendation. Once we have established your financial objectives and outlined a strategy to help you reach them, we will begin to formalize your plan. Your financial plan may include restatement of goals and concerns; cash flow and tax planning; retirement, investment and estate planning; and risk management. The pieces of your plan are, of course, dependent on your individual needs.

The plan is being created exclusively for you and will guide our decisions from that point forward. Your input — your overall comfort with your plan — is very important to us.

Implement

Once we've fully presented your financial plan, we will begin the process of investing your money and managing those investments. While you may always choose not to implement any part of the plan, we believe that a full commitment will render the best results.

Monitor & Manage

Financial planning is not a one-time event. Rather, it is an ongoing process, reflecting evolution of your attitudes and goals and continually changing scenario of events that affect your financial affairs ... and your life. Our team approach enables us to closely monitor accounts to ensure that our clients' investment objectives are on track. We not only follow your investments, ensuring that their performance is meeting the standards we've set in place, but we also respond to changes in your life to make sure your plan grows with you.
