OnBoarding
Welcome! We are so excited to partner with you on your financial journey. As your advisor, our goal is to provide clarity, confidence, and a clear path toward your unique financial goals.
To do that, we use a cutting-edge toolkit designed to help us collaborate, manage risk, and plan for the future. I want to quickly introduce you to the three main technology platforms we'll use together.
First up is AdviceWorks. Think of this as the secure, digital hub for your entire financial life.
This is where you can see your total net worth in one place—not just your investment accounts with us, but also outside accounts, mortgages, and more. It gives us a truly holistic view.
It's also where we securely exchange important documents like tax forms and statements. It simplifies the paperwork and keeps your sensitive information safe and organized. You'll always have 24/7 access to your financial picture, right from your desktop or phone.
Next, we use a tool called Nitrogen to quantify your comfort level with market volatility. It’s all about empowering you to invest fearlessly.
During our onboarding, you’ll take a quick, engaging risk assessment that doesn't use vague terms. It results in your personal Risk Number, a score from 1 to 99 that tells us how much risk you're willing to take to pursue your goals.
We then use this number to ensure your portfolio is in alignment with your preferences and capacity. We want your expectations to match your reality. If your portfolio risk is higher or lower than your comfort level, Nitrogen helps us have that conversation and make adjustments, together.
Finally, for planning your future, especially retirement, we use Income Lab. This is where your dreams can meet a proactive, modern strategy.
While many plans are "set it and forget it," Income Lab gives us a dynamic plan that is continuously monitored and updated. Instead of a simple pass/fail projection, it focuses on real-life adjustments.
We use it to stress-test your plan against historical events—like the '70s inflation or the 2008 crisis—and show you how making small, temporary adjustments to your spending could keep you on track. It helps give you the confidence that you can navigate any market.
AdviceWorks for organization, Nitrogen for alignment, and Income Lab for confidence. These tools are all designed to give you clarity and control. We are ready to begin.
Let's put this powerful toolkit to work toward achieving your financial goals!
