Our Approach
Our Wealth Management Process is a leading-edge, time-tested framework we customize for the specific goals and needs of each individual or couple we serve, and it also enables us to build a profound, personal connection with our clients.
This eight-step process will form the foundation of your financial achievements throughout our collaboration—from our initial discovery meeting to our continuous monitoring of your investment and wealth management plan.
Our Process
STEP 1) Discovery Session
We will begin by getting to know you—your goals, needs, considerations and everything that matters to you. Whether we meet with you in the relaxed setting of our beautifully renovated headquarters located in the historic town of Groton, MA, or virtually, we will have a guided conversation to identify your vision, values, and aspirations. Our aim is to develop a deep understanding of your current situation as well as your specific concerns, challenges, and goals so that we can design a plan to best meet your needs and provide you with the highest value possible. We will also give you in-depth information about our philosophy and each step of our wealth management process. You will be welcome to ask as many questions as you wish, and we will address each one in detail to help you make a well-informed decision.
