Menu Financial Solutions That Get Results Call (973) 325-3370 Wealth Management FINANCIAL SERVICES Having a clear picture of your current financial situation is one of the first steps in creating your plan. As Certified Financial Planners™, we can help you take a snapshot of your current financial situation, and make a solid plan for the future. CASH FLOW & DEBT MANAGEMENT Cash flow is the cornerstone of your wealth management plan. Without a clear picture of what money is flowing in and out each month, it is impossible for you to make informed decisions with respect to the other financial issues that affect you. In addition to cash flow, your debt level and credit history are also important barometers of financial health. Good debt management ensures you have credit when you need it, make wise borrowing decisions, and avoid disaster if you become overextended. We can go through both your cash flow and debt levels, and assist you in better understanding your current financial status as part of the overall planning process. FAMILY RISK MANAGEMENT Are you prepared for the unexpected? Even the best investment and financial plans can falter if you have not properly prepared for the risks that exist for your family. Should something happen to you or a family member such as disability, death, or a long-term-care need, the careful planning and investing you have so diligently developed can become unraveled. As part of the planning process, we review your current situation, and make recommendations to assist you in being better prepared should the unexpected happen.
