Software to support your journey

DEFINE YOUR IMPACT GAP

What is your enough?

Our financial planning clients work with us to align their money with their values, build confidence on the path ahead, and feel empowered to give to the people and causes they care about most. When clients get to this final step, we help them determine how much they can direct toward creating a positive impact in their world – what we call their Impact Gap™.

We ask our clients to think about how the impact gap might help them:

  • Strengthen the relationships that matter most.
  • Contribute to causes and organizations they’re passionate about.
  • Give themselves permission to live out their lifelong dreams and bucket list items.

Asking the questions that matter

An important part of developing a financial plan for our clients is understanding what is important to them, and helping them answer the big questions they face about their goals and money. Questions like: 

  • What is enough?
  • How can my resources make an impact for my family, my community and the world?
  • As we approach retirement, how do we know what funding sources make the most sense to use?
  • I'm thinking about retirement. How do I know that I'm emotionally and financially ready to retire?
  • Kids are expensive. How do I know whether I can afford managing my family household, funding my kids' education and planning retirement?
  • Taxes are complicated – during work and in retirement – and mistakes can be costly. Can you help us?
  • What are creative and efficient ways to navigate charitable giving during our working life and in retirement?
