HOURLY An hourly engagement is best for clients who may not need a full comprehensive financial plan. There may just be a specific question that needs to be answered, or a specific situation that needs to be addressed. If there are multiple issues, a full comprehensive financial plan may be recommended.
COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL PLANNING ENGAGEMENT This is a set engagement to create a comprehensive financial plan. This is a very through process and is typically completed in three to five meetings. This ensures all financial areas are addressed. At the end of this process the client is presented with a complete Comprehensive Financial Plan. During this process, R.E. Maloney Associates will review and make recommendations on areas including:
- Long Term Spending
o 25 year cash flow projection to include income assumptions
and tax ramifications
- Education Funding
- Investments
o Determine risk tolerance and time horizon goals
o Recommend a portfolio manager to determine best allocation
or work with existing managers if desirable
- Retirement
o Review employment related benefits, qualified plans and other
tax deferral arrangements, social security, healthcare and
long term care issues
- Insurance
o Ensure proper types and amounts of coverage for
property & casualty, health, major medical, excess liability,
disability, life insurance and long term care coverage with
insurance professionals
- Income Tax
o Avoidance and deferral strategies including tax-free bonds,
IRA's qualified retirement plans and Alternative Minimum
Tax planning
- Estate Planning
o Review of current wills, trusts, power of attorney and
related documents
o Analyze beneficiary designations and allocation of assets by title
o Desired gifting strategies
Implementing the recommendations will be the responsibility of the client. For assistance on implementation please see Comprehensive Financial Planning Engagement with Personal Retainer
