Financial Guidance

Here at Ascend Financial Strategies, we are able to offer real-world solutions to people who have a genuine need. In that respect, we consider our role to be your trusted professional and partner: someone who will see you through life's most difficult moments and help you prepare for the opportunities ahead.

We prefer to take a measured, thoughtful approach—one that is grounded in reality and gives you the best chance of meeting your financial goals and objectives.

Step 1: Discovery

Everyone is different, so it's important for us to learn as much about you as possible. What are your goals? Where would you like to be in 10 to 20 years? What financial resources do you already have in place? The more we get to know about you, the more insightful our recommendations will be.

Step 2: Analysis and Goal Setting

Together we'll prioritize your goals and turn them into clear, measurable objectives. That way you can see how even the biggest challenges—like paying off your mortgage or retiring early—can be accomplished.

Step 3: Strategize and Implement

Next, we'll put together a strategy to help you meet your goals and needs. We even consult with your tax, and legal advisors, as well as any other financial professionals you work with to make sure our efforts fit in with your overall plans.

We'll provide ongoing service as your needs and situation change over time. We'll work with you over the years to help keep your program on track with your changing needs.

Protect your family – now and into the future.

Tell me a bit about yourself, and I will call you to discuss a personalized strategy.
