Financial Planning is the process of creating a plan that helps someone plan their long-term financial future. A solid, full financial plan covers the following areas:
1. Cash flow and financial management
2. Retirement and future income planning
3. Investment planning
4. Risk management and insurance planning
5. Tax planning
6. Estate planning
Business owners also include areas planning for their business such as succession planning.
Holistic financial planning crosses over into all of these sectors with a trusted professional who is able to coordinate all areas and aspects of one’s finances, as each of these areas often come across silos owing to professional and legal regulations.
To provide holistic financial planning to help people prepare for a more secure financial future, to provide education and guidance to help people navigate the financial and economic systems we currently live in, and to empower those who need this advice the most.
