OUR PROCESS

Almond Valley Wealth Management's typical process begins with an initial consultation, during which we will get to know you and your financial situation, goals, and concerns. After the initial consultation, we will work with you to create a financial plan that outlines your short-term and long-term financial goals, and provides a roadmap for achieving those goals. We will then work with you to implement your financial plan, which may involve managing your investments, helping you save for retirement, and providing guidance on major financial decisions. We will provide ongoing support and guidance, and make adjustments to your financial plan as your circumstances change over time.

REFERRING US

Oftentimes, our clients will come across a friend or relative who is in need of a financial professional and could benefit from the services that we have to offer. Please know that we welcome the introduction and hold our conversation in the highest confidence. There is no fee or obligation for an initial consultation. There are a few ways that work well for making an introduction between us and the referral. Here are some questions we have asked in the past:

  • Bring them as a guest to any event we host throughout the year.
  • Call or email us and provide their name, phone number and email, and we'll be happy to reach out to them.
