Our Process
Our process emphasizes four important concepts:
Service
Our commitment to clear, consistent and relevant communication is a cornerstone of our client service approach.
Objectivity
We serve as a fiduciary to our clients, who expect and receive the perspective that they need to hear, without prejudice or conflict.
Efficiency
Our clients lead busy lives. Our job is to allow them to easily oversee and understand their finances in order to make informed decisions.
Effectiveness
Our clients expect successful results. We seek to maximize after-fee, after-tax, risk-adjusted returns.
"You don't have to be rich to start planning for your financial future. You can start from where you are."
Life changes. So does your financial life.
We use a seven-step, iterative approach to create a financial blueprint that is unique to you, and changes and grows with your needs.
Listen
We listen. We ask the right questions and take the time to learn all the important details of life, including your lifestyle, career path, business, children, philanthropy, and aspirations.
Organize
We gather, interpret, and summarize information from an exhaustive list of financial and legal documents: your balance sheet, cash flow, existing estate planning documents, income tax returns, stock options and restricted shares, and pension, to name just a few.
Analyze
We will interpret your financial picture, and identify and assess additional opportunities and strategies to move you toward your goals.
Recommend
We present objective recommendations to clients based on the analysis and discussions with them relating to risk and reward tradeoffs and specific stated financial goals.
Implement
We will translate the financial plan and strategy into a tactical action plan including broad asset allocation, specific investment vehicles and manager selection, and the execution of associated tasks.
Monitor
We continuously monitor your progress toward your goals with all your accounts’ balances aggregated in your personalized homepage (Echo Dashboard).
Search
We continuously search the horizon for new investment opportunities in different economic, market, and tax environments.
Let's Start a Dialogue
Managing your wealth is a very personal subject,
one we should discuss in a more personal setting.
Your time is valuable.
