Our Financial Planning Process
Engage
Together we develop mutual trust as we start to learn about each other, including Wellspring’s approach to financial planning and wealth management services.
Discover
Next, we’ll discuss your current and future financial situation. This discussion often sparks self-discovery, where we learn about your needs, wants, and goals.
Analyze and Develop
During this phase, your advisor will analyze your current investments, insurance policies, and other financial data in order to develop your personalized financial plan.
Implement
Your advisor will meet with you to review your financial plan. We’ll help you understand and guide you on how to implement the plan on next-step recommendations.
Monitor And Update
Wellspring will monitor your plan to ensure it remains suitable as your life changes. This includes monitoring the performance of investments, ensuring spending is on track, and adapting to changing circumstances.
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.
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.
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.
