FINANCIAL PLANNING

Many individuals confuse financial planning with general savings and investing advice.  How to save (and how much) and where and when to invest those savings, is every bit important. Prudent financial planning goes much beyond the realm of just savings and investing.  The sooner you understand the role of financial planning in meeting your short, medium and long-term financial aspirations, the better you’ll be able to control your financial destiny.

Everyone wants to make lots of money, but what will that money do for you?  What lifestyle do you want?  How do you want your wealth to impact your family?  What do you value most in your life and how does this complement your goals?  We start with your long-term objectives and work backwards to figure out a complete plan of action.  We understand it is our job to spend the time needed to make sure that the advice we give is specific to your situation and goals.

You are in control of your own destiny, and it is our responsibility to help guide you on the journey any way we can.  You hold the information needed to create a plan that is truly your own based on individualized goals and desires.  We ask questions to understand your values and the things in your life that hold you most dear.  We like to understand everything about you and try to capture the essence of what you want to achieve.  In the end, we can achieve a balanced approach to creating your financial plan because we understand the desired goals and the root of these desires.

A well-grounded financial plan is essential for anyone who wishes to accomplish specific financial objectives.  Whether it be the idea of owning your home, making sure your children’s education is well funded, or ensuring a smooth and stress-free retirement – all of these seemingly disparate components come together under a unified financial plan. 

The scope of an effective financial plan should therefore cover key aspects such as saving, budgeting, tax planning, insurance planning, retirement planning, estate planning and much more

At Indigo Wealth Management, our systematic approach to Financial Planning services includes:

• Discovering YOU:  We realize that financial planning is all about YOU!  And the only way that we can deliver what YOU need is to understand what those needs are.  We do this through a consultative discovery approach of getting to know you, and helping you understand what we can do for you.
• Strategizing:  Now that we have a better sense of who you are, and what you wish your financial future to look like, we can work together to create a financial strategy that will help you fulfill those financial objectives.
• Holistic Planning:  The cookie cutter approach doesn't work for us – and we believe they don’t serve our clients either. Through our systematic strategy-building process, we’ll create a set of personalized, holistic plans – for the short, intermediate and long-term, that will help fulfill your overall financial strategy. Our planning process is intensive, and we do it using a consultative and iterative approach.  Each session brings us closer to helping you achieve the financial objectives that we set out together, during the discovery phase. 
• Implementation:  Now that the plans are in place, we’ll walk you through the process of implementing them. Whether it’s making the right investment decisions, choosing the right insurance plan for you and your family, saving enough (and regularly) to reach your retirement goals, or creating an estate plan that preserves your legacy – we will be right there by your side as you take each step.  Through foresight, encouragement and professionalism, we’ll make sure each step of the plan is successfully implemented. 
• Frequent Reviewing and Monitoring:  We’ll stay vigilant throughout the process to make sure you stay on track to meet each of the objectives set out in the plan.  Through constant monitoring and frequent reviews with you, we’ll consult with you and make modifications to the strategies and plans as and when needed.
