Comprehensive Financial Planning

There are a number of advantages of comprehensive financial planning. Understanding these advantages is crucial for your overall financial success. Comprehensive financial planning consists of a rigorous process  of establishing and defining the client-planner relationship, gathering relevant client information, setting specific goals, examining your current financial position, developing a strategic plan for how to meet your goals based on your current situation and future plans, implementing and monitoring the plan, and reviewing financial strategies periodically.

Particularly, comprehensive financial planning provides direction and meaning to your financial decisions. The process helps you understand how these decisions impact other areas of your finances. By viewing each financial decision as part of the whole, you can consider its short-term and long-term effects on your established goals. You can also adapt more readily to changes in the external financial, tax, and legal landscape and your own financial circumstances in the future.
