      Financial and Estate Planner

      I assist clients with an assessment of their current financial and estate positions and help them articulate and prioritize their goals and objectives. The feasibility of the goals and objectives are analyzed followed by strategies and recommendations to facilitate their realization. An action plan is developed to implement the recommendations consistent with the values and attitudes of the client. Implementation of the action plan is co-ordinated and expedited, then monitored over time to ensure that the program remains consistent with the client's assumptions and objectives. Show less
