How We Help

Our process starts with a short, convenient conversation, arranged at your convenience, to determine if your situation matches our expertise.  Call our office, fill out our website contact form, or send us an email, and we’ll get it scheduled.

If there seems to be a good “fit”, we can follow up our call with a complimentary 60-minute consultation, either in-person or “virtually”, as you prefer.  This is an opportunity to explore in more depth what you’re looking for from an advisory relationship.

After our consultation, if we both agree that we’re the right advisors for you, we’ll send send you an engagement letter, that reflects what we learned from our conversations, describes our process, and states our “not to exceed” fee for your financial plan. Return it to us when you’re ready to get the process started.

If you’re like most of our clients, you need a robust, comprehensive plan that addresses most or all of the core areas of financial planning: cashflow management, risk management (i.e. insurance), retirement saving (accumulation), estate planning, tax planning, and investment management advice.

But, depending on where you are in life, your plan may also include education funding for private school or college, Social Security planning, or retirement income (distribution) planning.

When your plan’s complete, we’ll review it with you, and “stress test” it for things that could go wrong.

Finally, we’ll detail “what we learned” and the “action items” for you in a personalized summary letter.

If you’re at a point in life where you don’t need a financial plan, but want a professional to manage your investments, we can provide investment management services on a “stand-alone” basis.

At Springwater, we’ve done our homework, so we know the factors that largely determine portfolio performance – and they’re things that a disciplined, professional advisor can control, like asset allocation (your “mix” of investments), diversification, taxes and fees, and perhaps most importantly, emotions.  We don’t waste time on the loser’s game of trying to pick stocks, time the market or guess which sector or industry will out-perform next quarter.

Your investment strategy will be designed to take as little risk as possible, while still helping you achieve your goals – like college for your kids or grandkids, an early retirement, travel to interesting places with friends and family, or charitable giving, to name just a few possibilities.

If you’re interested in expressing your personal values in your investments, we can build a portfolio for you that reflects your social, environmental and governance preferences. For example, many of our clients prefer fossil fuel-free investment funds.
