When you plan with us, you’ll have an experienced advisor leading a dedicated team with a diverse range of financial expertise. Our plans are tailored to you from a wide range of financial options and strategies designed to help you achieve the goals you have now, and later on.

We will also work closely with any other financial relationships you have—streamlining things for you and giving you a trusted point person to oversee all aspects of your wealth management.

We believe that the strongest financial plan begins with the priorities you have for your life. That’s why we start by understanding your values, goals, and where you stand financially today before making any recommendations.

• A partner who can help see blind spots others can’t or haven’t considered
• An expert in advanced investment and risk management strategies
• A trusted specialist who can create a flexible financial strategy that will help leverage opportunities for your life now, and down the road

While providing the protection you need, our solutions play a key part in your financial plan, giving you more financial flexibility throughout your life. We’ll listen to what's important for you to do today and down the road, and evaluate which type of coverage, and amount, could help you reach your goals.

You work hard to give your loved ones every advantage. The right life insurance can make sure that you leave a legacy for loved ones and help maintain their standard of living when you’re no longer here.

Our evaluations are based on your goals, priorities, and the role life insurance will play in your financial plan. From protection that lasts for a set amount of time (term life) or a lifetime (permanent life), we have a solution. And with permanent life, you also get financial benefits that you can use while you’re living, including:

• Financial flexibility for emergencies and opportunities
• A cash accumulation that grows over time and can be used for anything
• A tax-advantaged way (via a cash accumulation) to help grow your wealth

If you’re a business owner, offering life insurance as part of a comprehensive benefits package can help to recruit and retain valuable employees and help them feel financially secure while contributing to the success of your business.

Life insurance can also minimize the financial impact felt by the passing of a key contributor to your business. Its cash accumulation (or cash value) can be used to cover the potential loss of business or to recruit a successor.

Help protect your earning power and keep your goals on track if an unexpected injury or illness prevents you from working. No matter the type of job or career you have (or business you own), we have options that can give you more choice and more control.

Your ability to earn a living is likely the most important financial asset you have. Having a plan ready to go should you experience a disability, can help you rest easier knowing that your goals, big and small, can keep moving forward.

Individuals – While you focus on getting better, your goals like leaving a legacy or saving for a second home can still stay on track when you have a plan.

Physicians and Dentists – With a plan, you’re not just protecting your income, you’re protecting the investment you've made in your career.

Business owners and employers – A plan can help keep your business running if you or another key employee becomes too sick or injured to do their job, and by enhancing your benefits package with a plan you can help protect your employees, too.

No matter what you see yourself doing, the places you picture yourself exploring, or when you want to start doing them, we’ll create the right plan to help you retire the way you want.

It’s likely your aspirations for retirement will require solutions that go beyond a 401(k) or IRAs, social security, or if you’re a business owner, the sale of your company. We start by understanding your vision, goals, and situation before making any recommendations. Then, we’ll create a comprehensive plan with the right strategies for investments, annuities, and insurance—each one designed to help maximize your assets, provide income efficiently, and protect you from the unexpected.

Our advisors are also experienced in managing many types of assets and aligning all your other financial relationships to help make sure that the dreams you have for retirement can be reached, when you want to reach them.

Having a long-term care plan in place will give you (or a loved one) choice and control over where and how to receive care should it be needed. Plus, a plan will let your loved ones know your wishes and lessen the burden of the physical and emotional strains that can come with the need for long-term care.

Someday, you or a loved one may need ongoing help with day-to-day tasks like bathing, eating, or getting dressed. The cost of care is often underestimated and might not be covered by health insurance or Medicare. Long-term care planning can help you manage the assets that you’ve worked so hard for, so your family focus on offering love and support.

Caring for a loved one with special needs can present unique challenges. Our Chartered Special Needs Consultants (ChSNC®) will work with you, and equally important, other special needs experts, to create a comprehensive plan that can help your loved one with special needs and your family have the highest possible quality of life.

For families with a loved one who has special needs, financial planning is a necessity. We know you want to do what is best for a loved one with special needs, but your best intentions could inadvertently prevent them from accessing vital funding and programs. That’s why it’s important to work with an experienced team to help you navigate the complexities that come with special needs care. Our financial advisors are skilled in assembling the right experts, including those in law, social services, and more, to help you with:

• Estate planning
• Special needs trusts
• Life insurance
• Tax deductions
• Healthcare issues
• Medicaid complexities

With our guidance, you’ll be empowered to make informed decisions, take appropriate actions, and help provide the quality of life for your family that you want.

Your business reflects you, so it takes personalized business planning to help you grow and protect the value you’ve built in your business.

Whether you’re thinking about setting out on your own or looking to expand your existing business, we can help you plan for success. From protecting against risk and managing growth to attracting and retaining top talent, we’re ready to help you at every stage.

We’ll work with you to develop a tailored plan with financial solutions designed to fit the unique needs of your business, and your life, with advanced strategies to:

• Integrate the important aspects of financial planning for your business and your personal life to help ensure success on both fronts
• Minimize risk by being prepared for the unexpected
• Safeguard your business with coverage to help offset the loss of cash flow if you become sick or hurt
• Recruit and retain high-performing employees with competitive benefits programs
