Through comprehensive financial planning, he guides business owners, young professionals, and other clients toward living their great life, both now and in the future. From Joshua: ------------------ I believe financial planning should be a profession rather than an industry - that advisors should act more like doctors than car salesmen. When you go to a doctor, you expect the best diagnosis for your health, not to be sold a product. The same should be true of your financial planner. Before I began my journey to becoming a financial advisor, I wanted to make sure I would be entering a profession. Teaching is a profession because it is dedicated to improving the lives of the students, not enriching the professors. Sadly, what I saw in much of financial planning was an industry that created products and hired sales representatives to push the products. But I also saw a noble version of financial planning as a service profession where a trusted advisor helped guide clients toward their life goals. I take an integrated approach that considers your entire financial picture. Planning goes beyond investments and retirement to incorporate cash flow analysis, tax planning, risk management, business advising, career development, debt management, estate planning, and more. I view money as a tool to help you achieve your great life, both now and in the future. I begin by understanding your life goals and then develop your plan to help you achieve them. Every plan and every recommendation is designed with one goal in mind: to get you to your goals.
