Our Process
Retirement. It's what we do. In fact we have structured our entire practice around it. We actively work with current and near-term retirees to help pursue and live the fulfilling retirement they always envisioned. A work-optional lifestyle, on your own terms.
How do we do it? We have developed and refined a process known as Wealthscan 360°™. Our Wealthscan 360°™ process incorporates the same overall three-step process used by the medical profession. Just like a physician will have a Diagnosis, a Prognosis, and a Treatment Plan....we have Discovery, Planning, and Recommendations.
Our discovery process is immersive. Your financial plan is comprehensive. Recommendations are implemented and monitored so you that you have confidence in your unique journey ahead.
As a client, you gain access to institutional-grade investment management, selected and monitored through careful research and analysis.
