Financial life planning process
Chocolate Beach, Gulf Islands, BC
I use a robust process designed to help my clients clarify their values, dreams and goals. We then work together to create a meaningful plan which aligns their use of capital (money, time, energy and attention) with those values, dreams and goals.
All of my new clients go through this initial financial life planning process. This usually takes 4-6 meetings over about a 3 month period.
Then, for my ongoing clients, I act as a guide in an ever-changing landscape. Over time, I help my clients further clarify their goals. My aim is to always be working to help them align their resources with their values, dreams and goals.
