Assemble a Financial Team That Will Help Ensure Your Success

by Charlene Carter, Certified Financial Planner™
President Carter & Carter Financial, Registered Investment Advisor

As personal financial situations become increasingly more complex, creating a comprehensive financial plan more often than not involves assembling a team of professionals who will work in harmony to best serve your interests. Suggested members of this team would be a qualified financial planner, an attorney, a professional tax accountant or CPA and insurance agents.

Quarterbacked by your financial advisor, the goals of your team would be to work together to enhance the value of your overall financial plan, including everything from establishing trusts to providing professional liability insurance.

Because everyone’s situation is different, it’s best to have a clear understanding of the support you’ll need when building your team. For example, if you’re looking for estate planning expertise, even the best real estate or business agreement attorney might not be a good choice.  Many professionals specialize in a particular area, so we often recommend that clients use multiple professionals from a particular field. For example, you may find that some insurance agents are highly specialized and you’ll need one person to coordinate your home and car insurance and another to handle your life and long-term care coverage. You may find that an independent trust department will be needed at some point in your family planning.

Above all, you should be confident that each team member you select:

  • is experienced and trustworthy,
  • can provide customized service based on your unique goals,
  • will provide multiple options for each of your needs and explain the associated pros and cons, and
  • is willing to communicate the way you prefer, whether it's in person, over the phone, or via e-mail.
  • is the firm you are dealing with have longinjevite 

Over the past 25 years we have developed a great network of professional partners whom we trust.  As part of your financial plan you may set up an informal meeting to learn more about how to build and utilize your financial team.
