During our first meeting, we will do a deep dive into what is important to you and your family.  What goals are you trying to accomplish, and what is your current financial situation? We will also discuss our process and what that may look like for your individual situation. No two clients are alike, and because of this, we will work to develop a unique plan that will work for your individual needs. We will make sure that our philosophies are a good fit and discuss what your expectations are. We will take the time to really listen to your needs and how we may be able to help you facilitate them. You will discover all the ways that Red Oak Advisors can better your life. 

The objective of this stage is to develop a long-term plan for your financial and investment needs. This includes a review of what you already own and what the plan moving forward may look like. We believe that education and understanding are key in making financial and life decisions. During this phase, we will make sure you understand what you own and why you own it. We will recommend a strategy that we think will meet your goals and confirm that you are comfortable with your plan. We want to ensure that you are well-positioned for all the changes ahead.

During this phase, we will review your current estate plan documents as needed. If you do not have any current estate plans, we will go over options that are available. Understanding these documents are key in ensuring that your legacy includes all of your wishes. We will also confirm that your plan coordinates with your investments and insurance planning. Many times during this phase, we may utilize an estate planning attorney to make adjustments and get a cohesive plan for your situation.

The insurance review includes all types and options of insurance – including business insurance. We will review all policies that you currently have and make sure you understand all aspects of your policies. We may also discuss other options available to meet your individual needs. In addition, we will make sure that your beneficiaries coordinate with your estate plan and wishes for your legacy. Red Oak Advisors also offers non-traditional insurance plans when applicable.

During this process, we cover any other areas that may need attention or planning. These may include, but are not limited to:

• business planning
• business evaluations
• gifting
• home/auto/umbrella policies
• charitable giving
• education planning
• tax planning
• generation planning
• end of life planning

This is an ongoing process depending on what stage of life you are currently in. We will develop a plan that will fit your retirement needs and desires and help you attain those goals. We will also update your retirement income on a regular basis, so as you grow your wealth, you know what retirement may look like. We want to help you reach your goals smoother and more efficiently!

We believe that everyone’s legacy looks different and includes more than just assets. We help our clients find their passions and live their best life. Passing down important information, morals, and work ethic can be just as important as inheritance. Because 80% of people who inherit money do not retire with wealth, we believe a solid plan for the next generation is extremely important. We work with our clients to prepare the next generation for success.

We meet with all of our clients regularly to make adjustments and modifications to their plans.  We are available to meet in person or virtually – whichever may be more convenient for you.

We want to help you unlock your limitless potential. Contact us today for your complimentary consultation!
