Our Financial Planning Process
You Meet Our Team
-
Building trust and having a collaborative relationship is essential in Financial Planning.
-
In our first meeting there is no agenda; it is our opportunity to get to know one another. We typically do this over the phone, or on Zoom.
-
We want to learn about you and your family, what’s most important to you, your top priorities, and any of your financial and/or planning concerns.
-
You can provide us with a high-level understanding of your current financial situation: what’s worked, how you have planned so far, and any questions you may have.
-
We share our initial thoughts and give you further information on our process and our fee structure.
We Make a Plan
-
Once we determine how we will work together and what is important to you, we start working on your plan.
-
This step of the process involves asking you to gather your financial documents, such as your pay stubs, investment account statements, mortgage/debt information, social security projections, pension information, insurance documents, tax returns, etc.
-
You have access to your own personal financial planning website, which allows you to review the ongoing plan both together with us and on your own time. All of the information we gather and review will be housed on this portal.
-
This part of the process typically involves 1-2 meetings where we work through your plan in person or virtually.
-
Once we are in agreement and have a finalized plan, we move on to the next step.
We Put It in Action
-
During the implementation stage, we put your plan in motion and prioritize action items.
-
Consolidating accounts, adjusting investment allocations, and increasing retirement savings are just a few examples of what we do.
-
As we work through your plan, we collaborate with your accountant, lawyer, and other professional advisors whenever possible.
-
We communicate with you each step of the way, ensuring that you know what you can expect from us without any surprises.
We Stay in Touch
-
Ongoing monitoring is key, as changes in your life and in financial markets can happen quickly and unexpectedly.
-
We continuously communicate with you so that we are always prepared to adjust your plan as soon as any changes need to be made.
-
At Kemple Financial, we encourage you to reach out at any time with questions or updates for us.
