Our good friend (and Matt Hall’s podcast guest) Carl Richards has been discussing a concept that may feel foreign to many people when they think about investing. It’s called a “Statement of Financial Purpose. “

Historically, we’ve talked to clients about goals – we help to set them, work to achieve them, cross them off the list, and move on to the next. A Statement of Financial Purpose is something more profound than just goals. It’s the why behind the goals. This statement is not lengthy; it’s usually a sentence or two and, typically, pretty simple, but it’s not easy. 

We have introduced this concept to clients over the last year, and the reception has been very positive. Initially, clients are a bit hesitant when we present the topic, but it has led to some great conversations, and, in certain instances, spouses have uncovered things they didn’t know about the other person! Additionally, we’ve found these conversations especially valuable in guiding the recommendations and decisions we make with our clients.

Please feel free to reach out if you’d like to learn more about creating your Statement of Financial Purpose. 

We’re often asked what separates us from other firms. Our answer is our people – we believe we have a unique group of individuals who collectively make for a fantastic team to serve our clients. 

We are excited to announce that two members of our team have earned promotions:

Abby Wiss (Crimmins) – Abby has been promoted from Associate Advisor to Service Advisor. Abby has been with our firm for five years and continues to provide an especially high level of service to our clients – whether that is helping with something like money movements or thinking through more complicated scenarios like Roth conversions. For more about Abby, click here.

Matt Luzecky – We have promoted Matt from Associate to Associate Advisor. In Matt’s 3+ years with our firm, he has shown he is an integral part of the client service team… and always ready with a joke! His ability to look at client situations and internal processes differently allows us to continue improving the service level we provide to our clients. Learn more about Matt here.

Congrats to both team members on well-deserved promotions!
