The Long Run: Women and Retirement
Our Values: Personalized Service, Timely Communication, Practical Advice
When you are seeking help with your personal financial situation, choosing a collaborative relationship- where you and your financial planner communicate openly and transparently about your situation- is paramount. When you connect with your financial planner, it is important for you to discover whether it makes sense to develop a professional relationship. To do this, it is important to openly share details about your financial situation, the type of planning you are seeking, and whether the help you are seeking aligns with the services offered by the financial planner. After you schedule your connection, be prepared to answer questions about your current financial situation, career, family, viewpoints on money, and expectations of a financial planner. If a relationship is established, our financial planner connects with clients via phone, virtual meetings, email, and text messaging. Connections are by appointment only.
