Your First Meeting

In order for us to start the financial planning process for you, it is helpful to have as much of the following information as possible for our first meeting:

  1. Names, dates of birth and social security numbers for you and your children,
  2. Home value and mortgage information (rate, term of loan, balance, etc.),
  3. Most recent investment and bank statements (brokerage accounts, mutual fund statements, etc.) for IRAs and regular, taxable accounts,
  4. Employer sponsored retirement plan information – investment options, contributions, company matching, etc.,
  5. Employee benefit information (disability, life and health insurance, etc.),
  6. Personally-held life and disability insurance information (policies, last statement),
  7. Copy of any estate planning documents (wills, trusts, power of attorney, etc.),
  8. Copy of last year’s tax return.

In addition to the above tangible requests, please try to identify your top three to five financial goals, in order of importance – the more definitive and descriptive, the better. The following questions may be of help:

  1. At what age do you want the option to discontinue working?
  2. How much (in today’s dollars) would you like to spend (after tax) per month throughout your non-working years?
  3. Who is dependent upon you? (parents in addition to children?)
  4. If you are not around to provide for your dependents directly, what do you want your estate to provide? (living expenses plus education funding?)
  5. Would you be concerned about finances if you were unable to work?
  6. Do you want to purchase a new home or an additional home in the next three years? How much do you want to spend?
  7. Do you want to pay for your children’s or grandchildren’s education? All, or part? Private or public? Elementary, high school, undergraduate, graduate?
  8. Are you concerned about income taxes and/or estate taxes?
  9. Do you have an established, well-defined investment strategy?
