How We Do It

Your Best Interests First:

"Your Best Interests First: Integrated Holistic Planning and Tax Advice with Value That You Can See and Feel”

At Waypoint Financial Planning, we prioritize your unique financial goals and needs.

Fee Based Planning

  • We begin with planning, and there is a reasonable fee for that.
  • Other firms may use a "free plan" as a self-serving strategy to steer you into costly investment solutions.
  • They often may recommend purchases from a limited suite of commissioned insurance products like life insurance and annuities.

Collaborative Planning Process

  • We engage deeply with you in the financial plan design process.
  • Use the plan and projections as our roadmap for advice.
  • Evaluate different scenarios and financial solutions together.
  • Model the impacts of alternative solutions on the plan.
  • Enable you to make clear and effective decisions about the best options for you.

Evaluating Scenarios

  • Review different scenarios such as retiring earlier or later.
  • Assess various spending plans.
  • Plan for major expenses like travel, weddings, or gifts over time.

Implementation Flexibility

  • Many clients implement plans with us after evaluating proposals, but it's not required.
  • Our philosophy is to offer options that suit your best interest.
  • You implement solutions where you identify the best fit for your purposes.
  • We're equipped to recommend, implement, and service your needs long-term.
  • The decisions are always yours to make.
  • We aim for a real relationship with you and your loved ones.

Integrated Financial and Tax Advice

  • We offer seamless integration of financial planning and tax advice.
  • Many competitors don't offer tax advice, and their tax advisors don't provide investment strategy.
  • This is especially challenging for Roth conversions and income distribution strategies.
  • Our comprehensive approach helps ensure that your investment strategies and tax considerations work hand-in-hand.
  • Provide cohesive and coordinated guidance that truly puts your best interests first.

 

How We Help

A Simple But Comprehensive Process

When considering your wealth, there is more to measure than how much money you have. That's important, but we rely on much more than just the dollars we have to create an enjoyable and fruitful life.

Drawing Income From Your Financial Resources

We'll consider your pre-retirement savings rate, your goals, the amount of funding in your accounts and the types of assets you have in pre-tax, post-tax and tax advantaged accounts.
