Services
The services we provide are entirely determined and driven by your current situation and the things that are most important to you for your present and future goals.
Where are you in your life? Where do you see yourself in five, ten, or 30 years? What are your priorities? These are among the questions we’ll ask you as we help you formulate your financial plan. We’ll help you define your True Wealth, then devise the path to get there.
What do we mean by “True Wealth”?
An essential part of what we do is help our clients identify and prioritize their goals. Finding your “True Wealth” is usually centered around four key considerations:
Financial planning and management may involve college funds for your children or grandchildren, or how you want to shape your financial independence in your latter years and how to enjoy your prosperity with family members now, and after you have passed.
With the four above considerations in mind, and to help you find and obtain your True Wealth and financial independence, we’ve developed a proprietary process we call the Magna FORMula (Family, Occupation, Recreation, Money). While, to a degree it is formulaic, it’s by no means a rigid, one-size-fits-all approach. Quite to the contrary, it’s an adaptable, living, breathing, dynamic process that is designed to change and evolve as you do!
Life often presents critical financial events. These can be the joys in life (like the birth of a child, or grandchild) and pitfalls (like the loss of a job, or spouse). The Magna FORMULA helps you prepare for them when you can, and cushion the impact when you can’t.
Our Magna FORMula process is an innovative approach to financial planning. It’s designed around these critical financial and life events. Whether these events are predictable, or unexpected, they always have a profound impact on peoples’ lives. The best way for us to prepare for them is to be aware of the possibilities, keep our fingers on the pulse of our clients’ lives. By using this process we are able to shine the light down the road and see what might be ahead for our clients, allowing us to plan for or cushion the impact when these events occur.
There is no cookie-cutter approach to wealth management As with everything we do, Wealth Management is first and foremost about your goals and priorities. But the flipside of that coin is understanding your financial risks. Riskalyze* is a powerful state-of-the-art program we and our clients use to determine their risk score. Once we understand your goals, priorities and risks, we’ll develop an investment and wealth management strategy that is unique to you.

The moment our clients realize they have enough, and have achieved financial independence, a flip switches. They no longer ask, “will I have enough?” but instead ask, “what will become of my legacy. The answer is that there are lots of strategies we can pursue. We can engage with other professionals like CPA’s or estate planning attorneys to determine the best approach to transition your legacy to the next generation. Estate planning can allow the process to begin sooner, rather than later, and bring some joy by giving to loved ones while you’re still alive.
It’s important to determine how money comes out of which account, and when. For some of our clients it’s making sure cash is working hard for them. For others it’s debt management or some budgeting tools we can make available. It's all part of the financial planning aspect of our approach.
We can help you determine the ways your estate and legacy move and shape different organizations, or family members' lives after you are gone, or even while you’re still alive. At your request, we’ll devise strategies to start moving money to causes you are passionate about.
We often spend time to educate our clients and provide many different resources and tools. It is a way we can add value and connect all of the dots.
