We Align Your Finances With The Life You Want To Live

OUR PROCESS


Financial planning is much more than investment advice and stock picking. Envisage believes financial success begins with a comprehensive personal financial plan. We’ll take you through the steps necessary to see where you are now, find out where you want to go, and create a plan to get you there. Here is a more detailed look at our process:

WHERE ARE YOU NOW?

  • Create a personal balance sheet by looking at your current assets and liabilities
  • Take a look at your current spending and analyze your cash flow
  • Check your insurance coverage
  • Analyze your tax returns and look for possible savings
  • Check to see that your beneficiary information and estate plan are up to date

WHERE DO YOU WANT TO GO?

We will sit down together and discuss what you would like to do now and in the future. We’ll also provide some exercises to better understand what you value. Finally, we will look at the life and legacy you would like to create and develop the steps to get you there.

HOW DO WE GET YOU THERE?

We’ll construct a plan with to both achieve your goals and let you sleep at night. We’ll incorporate your risk tolerance and cash flow to structure a solution that we can implement together.
