The Guided Ascent Plan™ in Action

Three visits.
One coordinated plan.

The GAP is built around three structured visits, each designed to build on the last and create a coordinated foundation for the planning relationship.

Visit 01
Getting Organized

During your first visit, we take time to understand your financial story, your goals, and what is most important to you. This meeting helps us understand what matters most to you and establishes the foundation for the planning process. It is also a chance to learn more about who we are and the individuals, families, and business owners we have served across northern Arizona and throughout the country. We encourage you to ask questions and use this meeting to better understand our process and approach.

The GAP Analysis

The GAP Analysis evaluates your current financial picture by reviewing your goals, assets, income, and planning considerations. By taking inventory of your current financial landscape, your goals, assets, income, and planning needs, we gain a clear understanding of your starting point. This process helps identify areas that may deserve additional attention and provides the framework for future planning discussions.

Visit 03
Outfitting Your Financial Journey

This third visit marks the beginning of your financial journey with us. Together, we review your personalized planning recommendations and discuss how the relationship may move forward from there. Like outfitters preparing for an expedition, our role is to help you prepare for the decisions and opportunities that lie ahead.
