Financial Life Planning
It is not uncommon for people to think of a financial plan designed around getting to and through their retirement. However between beginning one's working years and their retirement “LIFE” happens - marriage, home purchase, children, career changes, income increases and decreases, etc. As such, a financial plan should really be associated with a person’s “Life Plan”. While life isn’t always easy to plan for, we can use some common assumptions and build a plan that is flexible for some of the changes life will bring.
As a Financial Life Management firm, we are life planners who strive to add value to the overall financial health and well-being of our Clients and their families by serving as the primary point of contact to ensure Clients’ financial decisions are well-integrated with their lifestyle decisions. This also helps us to keep our Clients on track.

- Assumes your life will experience change and a need to pivot is likely.

Our Planning Approach: Your Mental Wealth™ Planning Process
Our approach of blending behavioral finance with financial psychology in the financial planning process allows your OCCAM Advisor to have a deeper understanding of who you are, your life goals, and your overall needs. In return, we are able to build a more comprehensive Financial Life Plan for you and your Advisor to work together throughout the implementation.
We will analyze your financial status, taking into account your assets, liabilities, cash flow, insurance coverage, tax strategies, and investments. Based on your financial health, money scripts, risk tolerance, values and goals, we will provide you with Personalized Financial Life Plan and Investment Recommendations.
