What Is Financial Planning?

Financial planning looks at how your investments, retirement, taxes, estate planning, insurance, and other financial decisions work together to support your goals.

No two financial plans look exactly alike because each person brings different goals, responsibilities, resources, and decisions to the process.

Bringing the Different Parts of Your Financial Life Together

One financial question often leads to another. A question about retirement, for example, may also involve your investments, taxes, spending, or estate plan. Comprehensive financial planning brings those related decisions into one coordinated plan.

Can I retire when I want?

Retirement income, investments, taxes, healthcare costs, and spending needs may all be part of the answer.

Are we saving enough?

Cash flow, savings goals, investments, college funding, and retirement priorities can overlap.

What could this decision mean for our taxes?

Income, investments, retirement withdrawals, and estate decisions may all impact tax planning.

Will my family be financially prepared?

Insurance, estate planning, beneficiary choices, long-term care, and family goals can play a role.

What Does the Financial Planning Process Look Like?

We begin with your financial life as it is today and build a plan based on your goals and circumstances. We do offer stand-alone financial planning engagements, but most of our client relationships are ongoing. This allows us to revisit decisions and adjust strategies as circumstances change.

Common Questions About Financial Planning

What does a financial planner do?

A financial planner helps individuals and families evaluate financial decisions related to investing, retirement, taxes, insurance, estate planning, and other aspects of their financial lives. The goal is to bring those decisions together based on what matters most to each client. 

Is financial planning the same as investment management?

Not exactly. Investment management focuses primarily on managing investment portfolios. Financial planning takes a broader view by incorporating retirement planning, tax considerations, insurance, estate planning, cash flow, and other financial decisions. 

Do you offer one-time financial plans?

Yes. We offer stand-alone financial planning engagements. However, financial planning can adapt as goals, opportunities, and life events change. For that reason, the majority of our clients choose an advisory relationship that combines financial planning, investment management, and continued guidance.

Do you work with clients throughout Connecticut?

Yes. From our offices in Glastonbury and Wilton, we work with individuals and families throughout Connecticut. We also serve clients nationwide. 

When should I work with a financial planner?

You may consider working with a financial planner when preparing for retirement, changing jobs, receiving an inheritance, selling a business, going through a divorce, or facing another major financial decision. You don't need to wait for a major life event. Some people seek guidance simply because they want a more coordinated approach to their finances. 

Raymond James and its advisors do not offer tax or legal advice. You should discuss any tax or legal matters with the appropriate professional.

There is no assurance that any investment strategy will be successful. Future investment performance cannot be guaranteed, investment yields will fluctuate with market conditions. Every investor's situation is unique, and you should consider your investment goals, risk tolerance and time horizon before making any investment. Investing involves risk and you may incur a profit or loss regardless of strategy selected, including diversification and asset allocation. Prior to making an investment decision, please consult with your financial advisor about your individual situation.
