Highly respected fee-only financial planning services

Effective financial planning starts with an understanding of your goals for life and a detailed analysis of your financial situation. At Ames Planning, we begin with in-depth discussions with you on your personal objectives before we create a strategy designed to help you reach your goals.

Comprehensive financial planning strategies

Whether or not you have investments, a well-conceived financial strategy is critical to meeting your objectives. After carefully reviewing your goals and financial situation, we discuss each aspect of your planning in easy-to-understand terms to simplify your decision-making.

Your individualized financial planning considers:

  • personal cash flow and debt management
  • asset allocation and investment management
  • risk reduction strategies and insurance options
  • tax planning
  • retirement and/or college savings
  • transferring wealth to family
  • estate planning
  • charitable giving

Upon your approval, we assist you in carrying out your plan in every detail.

Through ongoing conversations with you, we stay attuned to your life changes, identify opportunities, alert you to issues and recommend adjustments to your financial life plan as needed to help you achieve your goals.

Integrated financial planning services

To ensure that your financial planning is completely integrated and properly addresses legal and tax issues, we consult with your attorneys, accountants, tax professionals and others. We can also recommend qualified professionals to assist in this process.

These integrated financial planning services give you — and all of your advisors — a thorough understanding of the ramifications of your financial decisions.

Independent financial planning advice

As fee-only CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professionals, we provide truly objective financial planning advice. Our team of advisors works together in reviewing your situation and making recommendations for continuous improvement in your financial situation.
