STEP 1: Establishing and defining the client-advisor relationship

Jeff will explain or document the services to be provided and defines his responsibilities along with the responsibilities of the client. Together, they should agree on how decisions will be made.

STEP 2: Gathering client data and determining goals and expectations

Jeff asks about the client's financial situation, personal and financial goals and attitude about risk. He gathers all necessary documents at this stage before giving advice.

STEP 3: Analyzing and evaluating the client's financial status

Jeff analyzes client information to assess his or her current situation to determine what must be done to achieve the client's goals. Depending on the services requested, this assessment could include analyzing the client's assets, liabilities and cash flow, current insurance coverage, investments or tax strategies.

STEP 4: Developing and presenting the financial strategy recommendations and/or alternatives
