A financial planner helps their clients with financial planning and reach long-term goals. Individuals and families will benefit from the experience and personalized approach of financial planning services. The support of a professional planner addresses investment management, tax planning, and more. Here are some benefits of working with a financial planner:

Personalized Financial Strategies

While planners do offer financial advice, they also take the time to customize a plan to a client's specific needs, lifestyle, and goals. At Wealth Enhancement, our advisors provide individualized strategies to improve financial wealth, from budgeting and saving to investing and tax planning. 

Financial planning services are ongoing, as life changes or new events can impact wealth. These events include job transitions, marriage, starting a family, or retirement. A planner will adapt their strategy to meet ongoing goals. This flexibility benefits the client by keeping them on track and their finances organized and prepared.

Investment Management Experience

Professional planners offer specialized knowledge in investment management to help manage stocks, bonds, or assets. Their services focus on a diversified portfolio that matches their client's goals and risk tolerance. When working with a financial planner, clients can benefit from strategies to optimize returns and manage risk for long-term growth. Here are some key factors a planner will focus on:

  • Analyzing market trends and investment opportunities.
  • Establishing an investment goal, whether it's retirement savings or education funds.
  • Reviewing the portfolio as the market changes, making sure investments are aligned with the client's objectives.
  • Providing options on how different assets, such as real estate or stocks, work together for balanced growth.

Our professionals continually monitor market shifts and economic developments. They'll also adjust the portfolio as needed to enhance results. Building upon traditional investment plans and strategies, we include plans, designed to avoid high-risk trades.

Comprehensive Tax Planning

Effective tax planning involves deductions, identifying credits, and structuring investments. This helps minimize taxes and plan for future tax implications. An advisor may offer options on tax benefits with accounts, such as retirement or charitable contributions. This way, clients can keep more of their income and reinvest it toward their goals. By including a tax plan in your financial strategy, a planner can increase overall savings.

Estate and Trust Planning

Estate and trust services offer a smooth process for complex planning processes. This includes trusts, protecting assets, and transfers. They'll also manage the assets for specific purposes, such as education, according to the client's wishes. 

Retirement Income Planning

Financial freedom involves various methods or plans. Financial planners help prepare for the long term through a customized plan based on what's already saved. This process verifies income is allocated in the right places for potential growth. Our team will help define benefit plans, cash flow analysis, traditional IRAs, and more. Tax preparation, trust services, and consultation offer a long-term strategy to organizing finances. 

With adjustments to tax brackets to account for inflation, we can help with standard deductions and other key numbers. Marginal tax brackets range from low to high rates, which affects individuals, families, and businesses. Our financial planners strive to stay up to date to help make the most of your income and available deductions which are designed to optimize your retirement savings.
