How We Can Work With You

At Birds Eye wealth management is a planning process that involves a truly comprehensive view of your finances as well as an evaluation of the smaller details of your finances to ensure a complete and thorough financial plan. This plan includes risk management, investment management, tax strategies, behavioral finance strategies, and, most importantly, goals based financial planning. We look to be your partner in achieving your financial goals whether they be short term goals like saving for a house or long term goals like college and retirement planning. The wealth management model includes the following services:

• On-going relationship with your advisor at Birds Eye

For many of us, subscriptions have become a way of life.  Now you can add financial advice to this list.  The Birds Eye subscription service is geared towards young professionals who are looking to start a foundational financial plan, or towards "do it yourselfers" who may want to manage their own investable assets but still need our advice for a more complete financial plan. The subscription service provides you with an on-going relationship with a Birds Eye advisor and access to plans, tools and a network of professionals to guide you along the road to achieving your financial goals. The first step is a meeting with a Bird Eye advisor and the establishment of an initial financial plan, which costs $500. Once the initial plan is set there is a $150 monthly fee for which you get the following services:

• On-going relationship with your advisor at Birds Eye
  
  
• A comprehensive financial plan including cash flow, investment analysis, retirement and college planning. Additionally, areas such as estate planning, life insurance and disability insurance will be reviewed and recommendations provided.
  
  
• All information loaded into eMoney, our financial planning platform and aggregation tool. With your subscription you also have your own personal client website to see how you are tracking towards your planning goals, upload important documents into your personal vault and track cash flow.
  
  
• Annual in-person or virtual meeting (your preference) to review and update your financial plan. Additional meetings can be held due to life-changing events.
