Comprehensive Financial Planning
Financial planning is the foundation for your entire financial journey. It connects all the components of a comprehensive wealth management plan, including investments, taxes, estates, and corporate trusts, acting as a roadmap to help ensure your long-term goals are met. For example, if you want to retire early, a financial plan will help you determine what you need to save annually, the investment returns required, and the overall net worth you need to obtain in order to maintain your desired lifestyle in retirement.
As a Financial Breakthrough client, you will work with a financial advisor who leads the client team, including a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional. CFP® professionals have thousands of hours of experience providing comprehensive financial planning services, passed a rigorous examination, and are held to strict fiduciary and ethical standards.

We believe high-quality financial planning services are a prerequisite to a successful investing experience. Our factor-based investment philosophy is based on academic research.
- Estate planning: From foundational estate planning basics to intricate planning issues such as complex assets (a business), complicated family situations (you and your spouse have children from a previous marriage), or other circumstances (special needs or medical issues), our estate planning attorneys work in concert with our advisors to help you prepare for countless life scenarios.
- Tax planning: When you work with an accountant to prepare your taxes, or if you file your tax return yourself, you look at the past year and how your finances were impacted. Financial Breakthrough Advisors takes a proactive approach to tax planning to help you better understand what your tax situation may look like in the future and how the decisions you make today can affect your future wealth.
