Our 6 Step Process

There are six steps in creating and carrying out your plan with our firm. It is very common for us to take action on multiple steps at the same time in order to carry out your plan in an efficient manner. The following description of each step will outline what you can expect to take place at each one of those steps:

Step #1 Consultation: During this appointment, we will come to an understanding of your overall goals. Once you have agreed to move forward with our firm, we will process your fee agreement and work with you on obtaining the necessary documents needed to complete your strategic planning.

Step #2 Goals and Analysis: Prior to this appointment, you will receive a “Goals and Analysis” letter which recaps your goals as we understood them during our consultation. It will also list our analysis of your current portfolio. We will highlight the areas that we want to focus on during your planning.

Step #3 Preliminary Recommendations: Prior to this appointment, you will receive our “Preliminary Recommendations” letter, which includes an action item list of recommendations, as well as a “before and after” look at all your allocations. The recommendations and allocations are reviewed during this appointment. This step may require conference calls with other members of your financial team.

Step #4 Product Education: During this appointment, we provide investment education based on the recommendations that were made in the previous step. The goal in this step is allow you to understand products and/or specific investment content, and why we recommend these in your overall strategic plan.

Step #5 Recap Letter: During this appointment, we will deliver all the new products that have been purchased as part of your strategic plan. You will receive a recap letter which reviews your initial goals, the goals that have been addressed, and what is still needed.  We will also present you with your complete financial plan binder. The binder will include detailed reports based on the Conaway package chosen during your consultation.

Step #6 Ongoing Service & Education: The length of this step is determined by your Conaway package. It includes the ongoing monitoring and servicing of your plan, along with your annual review. You will also be invited to a variety of webinars and workshops. Our client appreciation event every other year is also included!

The ongoing service of your plan beyond your initial service term may be subject to additional fees which will be determined in your annual review.

Thank you again, and we are looking forward to working with you and your family.
