Putting your financial puzzle pieces together

You've been earning and saving to reach your financial goals, how do you know you're on the right track? Our years of experience and training will help put all your financial pieces together.

Why Financial Planning?

You don’t know what you're missing until you see the whole picture

Before we even consider a financial plan, we meet with our new clients and discuss their unique situations. We know that financial planning can be an extremely stressful endeavor, and we are here to support our clients no matter where they are in their lives and careers.

What is Financial Planning

Putting the pieces together instead of strategic financial planning services

Financial planning involves looking at a client's entire financial picture and advising them on how to achieve their short- and long-term financial goals. This can include:

Investment Management

Investment management is the professional management of financial assets such as stocks and bonds to help individual investors reach their financial goals. Intermountain Wealth Management has discretionary authority with respect to client accounts, and will make investment adjustments as market conditions change.

Tax Strategy

The goal of the IRS is to take as much of your money that is legally possible. Your goal is to pay the least amount of money that is legally possible. We minimize the capital gain taxes in our clients' accounts through close monitoring. We look at potential gaps in your current tax strategy to save you more in taxes and use that extra money to put towards your goals.

Estate Planning

"Get your estate in order" is a common phrase you hear, but what does it actually mean? When you die, everything you own ends up going somewhere or to someone. The first goal is to make advanced plans, that assures your legacy is passed on exactly the way you wanted it to happen. The second goal is to minimize the tax burden to the recipients of your estate. This process is emotional but is essential to your financial plan. We help paint a clear picture of where you are and identifying areas that need attention.

Insurance Monitoring

As your financial life changes, it is easy to become over or under insured. Being over insured means having higher than needed premiums and being under insured results in over exposure to risk. We continually monitor client's insurance to make sure they are properly insured.

Q.

How do I know which financial planner is right for me?

A.

You want someone who is there to serve you, and you only. This means you want an advisor is considered independent meaning they don’t work for another bigger firm that is calling all the shots. You want and advisor who is Fee-only, this means the only income they receive is from their clients. The old adage "don’t bite the hand who feeds you" applies to advisors. Are you the hand that feeds them or this manager? Fee-only creates the highest level of commitment from advisor to client.
