What is Included in a Financial Plan?

A comprehensive plan must include the "Who" and the "Why": the people who matter and the values that drive them. It should visually summarize the four key financial instruments: income sources, assets, liabilities, and insurance policies, all organized by ownership and tax regime. A plan without the "Who" is just a spreadsheet. The most important financial plans put the people at the center and organize every asset, liability, and decision around protecting and advancing what the family actually values.
