Financial Planning
A Financial Plan is simply an analysis of your current financial situation along with recommendations to help you achieve your goals. Cathy Pareto and Associates will work with you and your family to develop your unique list of short term and long term goals, and will develop specific recommendations in the following areas:
Net Worth
Cash Flow Analysis
Debt Management
Retirement Planning
Risk Management
Education Planning
Estate Planning
Investment Management
Other relevant and client specific issues
We don't 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, death of a spouse or new baby.
Sample Financial Plans
These plans are for illustration purposes only and do not include recommendations made by Cathy Pareto & Associates.
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.
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.
Financial planning fees range from $500 - $7,500 depending on the complexity of the plan. The hourly fee for financial planning is $250 an hour with a minimum of two hours. There are no hidden fees. After you meet with your Advisor for an initial free one hour consultation, you will receive an estimate of how many hours it will take to complete your financial plan.
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.
