Financial Planning Needs Analysis - The Needs Analysis is a survey completed by the client using an online application. Answers to the questions elicit information that provides indicators about whether the responder has taken advantage of commonly missed opportunities to save on taxes, maximized returns on investments, taken steps to protect income and assets risks and generally provide a snapshot of a person’s financial savvy. Based on the results, I write a brief summary of indicators of possible future problems and offer suggestions for specific actions that they can take immediately. I review the report and recommendations with the responder a 30-minute appointment.

This product is not a substitute for a financial plan, nor will I necessarily be able to answer questions that require an integrated analysis of cash flow, taxes and investment returns, i.e., should I sell my house?  It is a great tool that provides useful information and that may point to whether financial planning services could be beneficial.
