Comprehensive Financial Planning
If you are like most of our clients, you lead a busy life and don’t always have the time you need to focus on your finances.

We take a comprehensive and truly unbiased approach to our clients’ sophisticated financial opportunities. We provide high net worth financial planning, wealth management financial services, wealth transfer and protection advice, and support our clients’ charitable giving goals.
Focus on your career, your dreams, or your legacy. We’ll focus on finding ways to ensure your comprehensive plan provides financial security for you and your loved ones.
Your Comprehensive Financial Plan Includes:
Retirement Planning
We apply a disciplined strategy to retirement planning, carefully considering your desired lifestyle and coordinating your investment and withdrawal strategy to utilize your resources as wisely as possible. We will assist with coordinating all your income sources including pensions, deferred compensation, stock options, investment income, and more.
Investment Management
Our thorough approach to investment management ensures your investment portfolio is coordinated with your overall financial plan. As Fee-Only financial advisors, we search for investments that are tailored to your needs. We balance withdrawal needs with the desire for growth, coordinate the use of various account types, and integrate tax, expense, and opportunity costs as we collaboratively work through decision making.
Tax Planning
While we believe that everyone should pay taxes, you want to be sure you aren’t paying more than your fair share. We analyze the effect financial decisions will have on your taxes and advise you with that in mind. Working collaboratively with your CPA, we create a financial plan that considers changes to tax law, your stage in life, as well as your current and future tax brackets.
Wealth Transfer
Creating a thoughtful estate plan ensures you are able to direct the impact of your legacy, benefiting your heirs and your community in a manner that aligns with your beliefs and intentions. Our financial planning and estate management professionals can guide you and your family through the estate planning and wealth transfer process.
Insurance Planning
Hopefully, you will never need to use your insurance. However, if you do suffer a great loss, it is incredibly important to have the proper insurance in place. We look at how much risk you can afford and how much income you can dedicate to insurance. By working closely with you, we determine which types of insurance are most important for you and your family. We then help you implement your insurance plan in coordination with the rest of your financial plan.
We do not sell insurance and do not receive a commission or any other compensation, other than the fees you have paid, on any insurance plan we recommend. We only recommend what we truly feel you need in order to protect yourself and your family.
Life Changes
When circumstances change in your life, it typically affects your finances. Whatever changes are happening in your life, Financial Strategies, Inc. is here to help you through. We work with you to discover the financial implications that each change will cause, plan for them, and modify your plans because of them.
Life changes include:
- Job changes
- Marriage
- Receiving an inheritance
- Death in the family
- Retirement
College Costs Planning
Helping pay for children’s or grandchildren’s higher education is a common goal. We help clients balance saving for college costs with saving for retirement and other goals. We take time to analyze your goals and the goals of your future student to create the most appropriate plan for you, in coordination with your tax planning. We utilize different investment vehicles to save for educational needs to help you and your child meet your goals.
