RubinBrown tailors our financial management services based around the major life phases that make up a financial plan. We have categorized these stages into four phases, which encompass the general path that we take during our working career, preparing for and then enjoying retirement.
Our individualized approach allows each client to have a feeling of control over their financial destiny. At the financial foundation stage, we work together to lay the groundwork for your future goals.
Once a foundation has been put into place, several years (at least) before retirement commences, it makes sense to take a step back and take a look at the state of your financial plan and evaluate a few questions.
With the planning steps put in place during your foundation and preparing for retirement phases, putting your goals into action and enjoying your retirement should now go hand-in-hand.
One aspect of a successful retirement stage is that you start to look beyond your own needs and, for some individuals, consider ways to transition your assets for future generations or charitable contributions.
Financial advisors can help press you to answer questions you don't want asked, put together a financial plan, identify risks in your portfolio that you might look past, talk you through market volatility and identify your biases.
