The Process– Holistic comprehensive planning process. Developed in the 1940’s by an insurance company whose niche was to work with business owners and high net worth families. This art form disappeared in the early 1980’s due to corporate downsizing. We learned it from a master trainer whose mentor helped develop the process.  It involves evaluating the current situation, discussing goals and objectives, analyzing how you stack up (current situations vs. objectives), discussing potential solutions (advantages and disadvantages), implementing the plan (investments, insurance, attorney/CPA meetings), and ongoing white glove service. Many companies talk about various pieces of the process, we have implemented all phases.  Our staff is trained in the culture, and our technology revolves around this central theme.
