Other relevant and client specific issues
We do not sell you financial products. Our financial plans are ideal for individuals that do not want to hire a full time advisor, but who are seeking a professional opinion or advice to help them get on track after life changing events such as retirement, divorce, new marriage, a new baby, or the death of a spouse.
Your Personal Financial Helpline
We do more than just create financial plans or invest your assets, we help you make better financial decisions. When you have questions related to insurance needs, buying versus leasing, saving, buying a home, investing, retirement or other, you can call us. We serve as your sounding board to help you make informed decisions that will impact your financial future.
That's what makes our Advisors different. It's like having your own personal financial helpline. We want to be there for you every step of the way to help you navigate the often complex life changes that will affect your financial future.
Our Process
Cathy Pareto & Associates provides Financial Planning as a stand alone service or in conjunction with ongoing investment management. Investment Management clients, however, benefit from our financial planning services at no additional cost (it is inclusive in the annual fee).
Prior to developing your financial plan we will meet with you to learn about your goals and objectives. We will then request that you provide us with financial information and other pertinent documents so we can begin your plan. You and your Advisor will work closely together to ensure that we capture all your goals, concerns and time tables.
Fees
When conducting a financial plan clients on a stand along basis (not investment clients). Cathy Pareto & Associates, Inc. charges a minimum retainer for financial planning services of $1,500. Depending on the scope of the engagement and the complexity of your plan, this fee may be adjusted.
Half of the planning fee is payable upon signing of the planning agreement and the balance is due upon delivery of the written plan. There are no hidden fees or agendas. Other special projects are based on an hourly fee of $250, as requested.
Becoming a Client
Becoming a client is easy. Here are the steps:
1. Initial Consultation: All of our clients receive an initial free one hour consultation to discuss your goals, expectations and needs.
2. Proposal: Once your Advisor has an opportunity to learn about you goals, he/she will provide you with an estimate for the work.
3. Work on Your Plan Begins: Your Advisor will analyze the areas of concerns, goals and any documents you provide him/her to start putting your financial plan together.
4. You Receive Your Plan: Recommendations will be made based on the areas you discussed with your Advisor. You will receive a plan outlining the reasons and the supporting research for each recommendation.
