What are the Six Components of Financial Planning?

The pillars of our structural architecture are Financial Management, Tax Planning, Asset Management, Risk Management, Retirement Planning, and Estate Planning. We catalog these instruments (income, assets, liabilities, and insurance) into a visual "treasure map" so the family can see how the foundation supports the roof. When all six pillars are visible in one place, the client stops seeing accounts and starts seeing a system. That shift in perspective is where planning actually begins.
