Personal Financial Planning for Plan Participants

Personal Financial Planning for Plan Participants

People with a financial plan are much more likely to achieve success. Isn’t this true for any worthy venture? How many long range projects succeed without some sort of plan? As an employee participant in a Wellspring-advised retirement plan, you have access to our personal financial planning services. We can help you prepare for your financial future and reach your short-term and long-term goals.

If you are not an employee participant, you can still work with Wellspring one-on-one through our individual financial planning services.

Be an Informed Investor

We Make Financial Planning Simple And Accessible

The biggest barriers people assume they will have when starting a financial plan are:

“I don’t have enough money to make a plan worth it.”
“I can’t afford a plan.”
“It’s too early for me to have a financial plan.”

At Wellspring Financial Partners, none of those are true, because:

We work with any employees regardless of their net worth or existing debt struggle.
We make it VERY affordable for participants in 401(k) plans that we advise on.
Starting early enhances success in financial planning.
We make every step of the process easy to understand.

Dynamic Financial
Planning

Our Financial Planning Process

The financial plans our CFP professionals create are not static documents; they evolve alongside your life. Regular monitoring and adjustments are integral to our approach, recognizing that life is dynamic. Financial plans must be flexible enough to adapt to changes in goals, market conditions, and personal circumstances.



Financial Planning Approach

Our relationship begins with conversations and listening. Our certified financial planners will take the time to understand your challenges, plans, and dreams. This is the foundation upon which we build a customized financial plan. This client-centric approach ensures our financial planning services are effective and resonate with your unique needs and aspirations.

Financial Successes

We create a personal financial plan for you to achieve financial success. Then, we break down the plan 
into simple steps for you to follow. Finally, your 
certified financial planner changes your financial 
plan to suit your needs as the years progress.
We will update your plan and communicate that to you as the market ebbs and flows. We only want you to be successful and comfortable, so you can trust our financial planning advice.

Engage

The first step in the process is for you to learn about Wellspring, and for us to learn about you. Together, we develop mutual trust and begin to understand each other. We discuss what you want from the planning process and determine that we are a good fit. When you’re ready to move forward, and a mutual commitment is in place, we move to the next phase.

Analyze

In this phase, Wellspring will distill and digest your data. We’ll input the information into our models and have discussions and questions along the way as we sort through your information.

Gather

This will be a deep discussion and a rewarding one. It will be filled with self-discovery and the development of mutual understanding. We’ll help you discover information about your financial situation that you might not have ever considered or understood. We’ll listen to your needs, wants, goals, and desires, and will discuss tradeoffs. Implications of decisions will also come to the surface.

Develop

Wellspring will now begin to develop your financial plan. There may be questions from us along the way, and we will probably meet with you at least once to review a draft of the plan and make final adjustments.

Implement

When the plan is complete, Wellspring will present it to you and discuss all aspects, including implementation. Investment decisions and changes in day-to-day ways of thinking and operating may come from the plan.

Monitor

We’ll monitor the plan to ensure it’s working as expected and detect whether or not changes need to be made. This includes monitoring the performance of investments, ensuring spending is on track, and adapting to changes along the way.

Update

A plan that sits on the shelf and is never revisited is useless. At least once a year, we’ll discuss updates to your plan, and more often if a significant life event occurs.

Why Choose a Wellspring CFP® Professional

Most people think all financial planners are “certified,” but this isn’t true. Just about anyone can use the title “financial planner.” CFP® Board benefits the public by independently certifying financial planners. Although CFP® Board does not guarantee their work, CFP® professionals have met rigorous qualifications for financial planning. Only those who have fulfilled CFP® Board’s rigorous requirements can call themselves a CFP® professional.


As part of their certification, CFP® professionals commit to high ethical standards. What’s more, a CFP® professional must acquire several years of experience related to delivering financial planning services to clients and pass the comprehensive CFP® Certification Exam before they can call themselves a CFP® professional.
