Our simple, personalized process

We Want To Get To Know And Understand Your Goals

Step 1

Discovery Meeting

Let's review your finances and answer your questions

After we’ve had an introductory discussion, we’ll meet to learn more about your goals, needs, expectations, concerns, and values. This meeting will also provide an opportunity for you to learn more about us and ask questions. The discovery meeting helps us determine if Approach Retirement is a good fit for your goals and objectives, and if you are a good fit for us, too.

Step 2

Plan Presentation And Begin Your Approach

We'll share our ideas on how to wisely navigate your
retirement planning journey and manage your money

Next, is the plan presentation meeting. We will explain how Approach Retirement partners can walk through your retirement planning, retirement realization, and investment management. Afterward, if we all believe there is a basis for moving forward, we will begin our journey together.

Step 3

Crafting A Steady Approach

We’ll evaluate where you are on the
journey and course correct as needed

Because we believe reaching your retirement and investment goals is a shared responsibility, we strive to be lifelong partners in helping you achieve them. Along the way, we’ll regularly review and monitor progress and make necessary changes. Implementing strategies and initiating consistent progress reviews can mean the difference between dreaming the dream and living the dream.
