Next Bloom Wealth takes a team-based approach to financial planning and investment management. My partner, Ashley Dickson, and I have worked together for the past 8 years. The Next Bloom team offers two perspectives, with the objective of helping our clients reach their goals. We believe that two sets of ears are better than one. We take a goals-based approach during the accumulation phase and shift to cash flow planning as our clients transition into retirement. Our comprehensive planning services often include tax planning and analysis, estate planning, risk management/insurance, investment allocations, social security/Medicare planning, cash flow analysis, budgeting, education planning and debt management. We recognize that each client has different needs, and we tailor our planning priorities to efficiently address our clients planning objectives. Our services are best for those looking for a long-term relationship with a financial planner that can support you through each phase of life. We manage our client’s investments, meet regularly, and provide a collaborative living financial plan. Visit us at https://nextbloomwealth.com for more information.
