Assessment Review
We will review the results of the assessment and discuss the recommendations and strategies that we would utilize to improve your situation.
We will also discuss in detail what a relationship with our firm would look like; the services we will provide, our deliverables throughout the year, how often we will meet and our fee.
*Remember, unlike most firms, we don't earn commissions from the sale of products. If you choose to hire us you'll know exactly what you're paying for and how your paying for it. Most of our clients pay us through an asset based fee deducted from their investment accounts, monthly financial planning fee, or a combination of both.
You will walk away from this meeting fully informed as to the value that we will provide if you choose to hire us as your financial advisor.

Think
We are interested in forming long-term relationships. To that end, we want you to feel comfortable with your decision to partner with us, so it’s important that you take as much time as needed to make a decision. Prior to deciding whether we should work together, you'll want to consider the following questions:
-
Do I like/trust/respect the team at Walden Financial?
-
Will the benefits they provide exceed their cost?
-
Do I understand and agree with their financial planning and investment philosophy?
-
Do their recommendations make sense to me?
If the answer is "yes', we'll proceed to the next step. If not, we'll part ways as friends.
