How Does The Engagement Process Work?

Each part of our engagement process is described below.

Discovery

The purpose of this stage is to review your concerns, define the problem(s), and set and prioritize goals. We will also quote a fee for our services and explain our retainer agreement. We will then collect the necessary data from you to begin our planning process, which follows.

Build and Develop Strategies

Our services are comprehensive. They include designing personalized strategies, including the Retirement Income and Investment strategies.

Implementation

Great plans with poor execution go nowhere. That’s why we offer our clients the choice to delegate the implementation to us. We meet as often as necessary to review strategies and their implementation. At the conclusion of each meeting, we may provide a written summary of the recommendations.

Ongoing Monitoring

You cannot recognize, understand, improve or maintain what you do not or cannot measure. Financial monitoring is a necessity—an activity required to maintain our financial well-being and the quality of our lives. Our monitoring process applies the eight monitoring rules discussed in section xxx of this handout.

Communications, Reporting and Review

We want our clients to be fully informed, at all times. Thus, our communication efforts include:

• Face-to-face meetings. These occur regularly or as needed.
• Email access. Clients have unlimited email access to their advisor.
• Telephone access. Clients have unlimited telephone access to their advisor.

Dr. Ulivi will make every effort to keep you informed about the status of your financial affairs.
