Here are a few questions you may ask yourself to help you decide.

  • Does PWA listen to me and understand my concerns?

Your Ongoing Journey—the PWA way!

Step 1:

Discover

To start, we prioritize establishing a shared understanding of your unique financial circumstances. Effective and timely communication is key to the success of the planning process. In this first meeting as a new client, we will continue our pre-onboarding discussion to work toward developing a deeper understanding of your financial priorities, objectives, needs, concerns, and constraints.

Step 2:

Organize & Review

We gather from you all relevant data and documents necessary to begin the planning work. We set up a client portal for you in our comprehensive planning system, link your accounts to it, and organize documents in its secure vault. Accurate and relevant information is crucial to the efficacy of the plan we are about to create for you. During follow-up meetings, we discuss any errors or missing pieces in the data, adjust your goals if needed, and develop multiple planning scenarios you would like us to analyze and consider.

Step 3:

Create

Now that we have a full understanding of your situation, we analyze the data and create a customized solution tailored to you. Once the plan is built, we set up a meeting to present our recommendations and review the financial plan.

Step 4:

Deliver

In this up-to-90-minute interactive meeting, we present and review your personalized planning recommendations. We walk you through our reasoning and rationale and give you the opportunity to ask follow-up questions. At the end of the meeting, you receive a report including a list of actionable implementation steps.

Step 5:

Ongoing Support

Any plan’s success depends on its efficient and timely implementation, continuous monitoring, and ability to adapt as life changes. We collaborate with you to help you implement the recommended actions. To keep you on track toward your goals, we meet with you twice a year (around April and October) to review your ongoing progress.
Of course, we are also available via email, call, or virtual meetings the rest of the year on an as-needed basis. Remember, we are always here because sometimes life happens in between the predetermined meeting cadence.
