The terrain of financial planning is complicated. A great compass will show you the easiest path to financial security.


Retirement. Investments. Insurance. Taxes. Estate Planning. Budgeting. It all needs to work in tandem if you want a financial plan that’s resilient and maximized for value.

But the most important quality of a financial plan is that it’s designed to meet your vision of the future.

At Winthrop Partners, we customize a financial plan that meets your needs and your vision. You always maintain full access and full control. We are the compass in your pocket as you navigate the road of financial planning.

 

Financial Planning Process

 

 

 

 

1. Understand 

The key to building a comprehensive plan is understanding our clients, their financial circumstances, their risk profiles, and their financial goals. We ask the right questions and actively listen to gain an extensive understanding of your needs.

 

2. DESIGN

Using financial models, information gathered from the first meeting, and additional financial documents, we develop a plan. We present a personalized and dynamic plan tailored to your unique situation and goals.

 

3. IMPLEMENT

Once approved, we begin the implementation process by transferring and consolidating all your assets under one umbrella. We review key issues and use extensive resources available through Raymond James to set up your account for third-party custodial monitoring. 

 

4. MONITOR

As a fiduciary, it’s our responsibility to construct, implement, monitor, and review your portfolio on a regular basis to ensure your investments align with your goals and objectives.
