FINANCIAL CONSULTING

Our Associates are dedicated to building close and lasting financial counseling relationships with each client. Today, when choices are abundant, decisions are more complex than ever. Individuals are faced with having to make more and more crucial, informed decisions about benefit plans, retirement options, insurance coverages, asset management, education planning, estate planning, savings and investments. When combined with uncertain economic conditions, tax law changes, fluctuating markets, and the multitude of products and services available today, it is little wonder that people seek professional help in the search for financial security.

Our planning process begins with a comprehensive review of a client's current financial situation. Prior to the initial planning meeting, the client is asked to gather information on all existing assets and liabilities including employee benefit programs, retirement plans, all insurance policies, Wills and Trusts, tax returns, and any other relevant financial information or docutments. During the initial meeting, that information is reviewed in detail and planning objectives, investment risk tolerance, and priorities are established. Areas most often included in the planning process are investment and retirement planning, education funding options, estate and survivor income planning, income tax planning, and risk management. A comprehensive plan is then prepared to meet the established objectives and priorities. From our work, individuals, regardless of income level or net worth, learn to make more informed decisions about their financial life. After the plan is implemented, periodic reviews are then conducted to make certain the plan keeps up with the client's needs and objectives as they change as well as changes in areas such as tax law, employee benefit programs, and economic conditions.

ADVANCED FINANCIAL GROUP possesses all of the necessary resources and administrative capabilities to provide ongoing support to our clients. Associates are personally involved with each client from the initial planning stages to annual reviews. At the corporate level, our experienced staff and state-of-the-art hardware/software systems will deliver the quality support you want, need and deserve. ADVANCED FINANCIAL GROUP  also has access to all legal, accounting and compliance services that may be required by our clients, or we can coordinate our work with a client's current advisors.
