Ab Flanagan Wealth Management Group An architect for your financial future
We believe in taking the time to connect with you not just on a financial, but on a personal level to ensure we understand what is important to you so we can have a positive impact on your life. Jim Bruner Creating a blueprint for your success In today s volatile financial environment, securing the vision of the future you want for you and your family is a challenging task that demands closer attention than ever before. Yet, individuals and families who are growing their wealth, or have already reached a level of affluence, can be more focused on living in the now than on planning for the future. That s where we come in. While it s easy to defer establishing a plan to take care of your future while you are focused on taking care of your career and everyday matters, we ask the questions you may not have considered about your long-term financial well-being. Does my investment portfolio align with my goals? What happens if I outlive my spouse? Am I taking more risk than I need to achieve my objectives? With a focus on comprehensive financial and retirement planning and a depth of unmatched industry experience that has been trusted by families from one generation to the next, we start the right conversations to help you design a strategy with confidence. We listen carefully to your needs to understand the things that are most important to you. Even if you are well into your professional life, when your focus expands from working on a successful career or business to encompass building a comfortable retirement, we know how to draft a highly personalized financial plan to smooth your transition into the future. Constructing a comprehensive plan that s designed to last We believe the value of true financial and retirement planning cannot be understated. Therefore by design, we have specifically cultivated a deep knowledge base through extensive research and analysis to provide you with informed professional advice in full transparency. We continue to diligently apply ourselves to staying current in our investment education to retain our cutting edge and give you our sharpest thinking at all times. You have worked hard to reach your position in life; our goal is to make sure you stay there. For us, thinking ahead is at the core of our approach. And while you may be dealing with wealth planning for the first time, we deal with wealth planning every day, and are competent and adept in investing the time you may not have to help you build a foundation for a future you can rely on. Our informed experience and understanding of life s different challenges enables us to form an accurate assessment of where you are, and structure the plan to get you where you want to be. Every client is unique we don t follow one design for everyone. Instead, we consider every aspect of your life to create a wealth management plan that addresses both the asset and the liability sides of the balance sheet and is specifically developed for you. Understanding the intricacies and nuances of managing wealth, we work closely with you to develop a comprehensive strategy to guide you throughout the course of your life.
