Our belief of Moral Obligation

When dealing with the complexity of financial planning and managing risk we take a step beyond suitability and legal responsibility.  We realize that the degree and competency of identifying and trying to solve a problem needs to be in line with the degree of potential harm should that problem be ignored.  

Nobody has a crystal ball

We recognize that and we also recognize it’s very hard to admit to ourselves that we are just as susceptible to having an uncertain future as the next person.  For that reason, we know that it’s tough to emotionally and financially prepare for all the contingencies that quite frankly we may not even be aware of… as planners we are exposed to more situations and are witness to the repercussions from them.  We are in a unique position to quantify and plan ahead of time, we acknowledge that and believe that you have a moral obligation to both address it appropriately and put a system of decision making in place.
