The Master Chef?
A simplistic but useful way to look at the approach we take to working with clients is to see our work as similar to that of a professional chef.

We work with each client to plan a "menu" that includes the elements that are right for them.
With a baseline in place and your goals established, we work with you to put together a plan that best fits your unique needs.  For example, how much risk is appropriate?  What about tax planning? How close are you to retirement?  These and many other factors affect the planning process, which might include:

  • Investment analysis and recommendations
  • Pension and 401(k) election decisions
  • Life and Long-Term Care insurance analysis and recommendations
  • Retirement readiness analysis
  • Specific planning concerns for corporate executives and business owners
  • Advising employee benefit plan participants
  • Buying a home (purchase, financing, mortgage payoff, refinancing, etc.)
  • Advanced stock options, restricted stock, nonqualified deferred compensation
  • Questions to ask your Estate Planning attorney

Sounds simple.  But putting together exactly the right elements for each client takes the financial equivalent of  -  well - Julia Child.
The primary work of Holly P. Thomas, LLC is that of a Personal CFO, which some might think of as similar to that of a "Master Chef" (see the sidebar to the right).

Here are some of the many ways in which we support the effort of our clients to achieve their goals - and have the freedom of making the choices that are right for them:
Regular reporting and meetings ensure that you have ongoing insight into your financial picture.  Meeting with your advisor is essential, ensuring that any changes in your life, your risk tolerance, your job, your marital status or other important changes are factored into your financial plan.
First question:  Where are you now?
We begin by pulling together all the financial pieces of an individual's life - or the life of a family or small business - as they exist today (insurance, pension, savings, investments, home, business, etc.)
Next question:  Where do you want to be?
With a clear picture of where you are now, the next step is to help you identify specific and measurable goals, both personal and financial
Given what we know, how will you get there?
