Year-End Financial Checkup

Is your financial plan still working for you?

 

Life changes. Priorities change. Your financial plan should be reviewed along the way. As year-end approaches, it can be a useful time to take stock of where you stand and identify financial decisions that may deserve attention before the new year.

Before the year ends

Three questions worth revisiting

A year-end review does not have to mean changing everything. Sometimes it simply means making sure the pieces of your financial life still fit together.

1

Is your retirement strategy still on track?

Whether retirement is several years away or already here, we can help review how your savings, investments, income needs and long-term goals fit together.

2

Are old 401(k)s or IRAs still scattered?

Accounts from former employers and multiple providers can make your financial picture harder to manage. We can help you review your options and whether consolidation may make sense for your situation.

3

Are there tax, giving or estate decisions to revisit?

Financial planning often overlaps with tax, charitable and estate considerations. We can help identify planning questions and coordinate with your CPA, attorney and other professionals as appropriate.

A broader financial review

Take a fresh look at your financial picture

Your financial life is made up of more than one account or one decision. A coordinated review can help you understand how the different pieces are working together.

Financial Planning

Review the goals, priorities and decisions that shape your broader financial plan.

Investment Management

Consider whether your portfolio still aligns with your objectives, time horizon and comfort with risk.

Retirement Income Planning

Review how savings and other income sources may work together to support your retirement needs.

Account Organization

Evaluate old retirement accounts, IRAs and other holdings to determine whether your current structure still makes sense.

Business Owner Planning

Consider how business decisions, retirement plans and personal financial goals intersect.

Major Life Changes

Revisit your plan after an inheritance, job change, retirement, divorce, loss of a spouse or another meaningful transition.

Coordinated planning

Financial decisions rarely happen in isolation.

Retirement, investment, tax and estate considerations can overlap. Our role is to help you look at the broader financial picture and, when appropriate, coordinate with the other professionals involved in your plan.
