More often than not people are not even aware of what they own or how it works prior to engaging our services. What are you paying for the investments that you own? Our analysis is followed with an explanation of what you own, the fees and charges within the strategy, and in many instances safer and lower cost alternatives.

As Certified Financial Planning Professionals, we subscribe to the CFP Board of Standards Financial Planning Process. We are dedicated to helping you along your journey to create a Financial Plan most viable for your situation.

 

At Rodriguez Wealth Management, we follow these 6 Steps in the Financial Planning Process:

1. Establish a Relationship with a CFP® Professional

Any successful client- advisor relationship begins with a strong foundation built through trust. Before moving forward through the Financial Planning Process, we meet with our clients to explain our advisory practice. In this meeting, we discuss our wide array of financial planning services, define our responsibilities, and set a ground for our next steps according to your unique situation.

2. Gather Your Data and Develop Your Financial Goals

Together, we will talk about your current financial situation and gather any necessary documents. In this process, we will begin to define your personal and financial goals, with a reference to a timeframe. 

3. Analyze and Evaluate Financial Status

At Rodriguez Wealth Management, we want to make sure that your goals are met. We take a transparent approach- taking into consideration all aspects of your situation to determine what you need to do to meet your goals. 

4. Review your CFP Professional’s Recommendations

During this process, we will go over our financial recommendations to you. We will take the next necessary steps to move forward along the Financial Planning Process.

5. Implement your CFP Professionals Recommendations

Together, we will agree on the best recommendations to be carried out in order to best meet your Financial needs. 

6. Benchmark Your Progress

As you work towards your goals, we will continuously monitor your progress to make sure you are on the right track. At Rodriguez Wealth Management, we believe in open communication throughout the entire planning process to best ensure that your Financial Goals are being met. From here, we will decide any necessary adjustments or future recommendations.

TRANSPARENCY IN ALL THAT WE DO

The median range of a comprehensive plan fee falls between $250 and $750 but all fees will be discussed and determined up front as we review the scope of your needs. As our client you will always be given an estimate and know the total fee to be charged in advance.

50% of the plan fee will be due upon the signing of the contract and the remaining fee will be due at the delivery of your plan. For individuals that decide to implement plan recommendations through us the fee will be waived. Fees would be waived in lieu of management fees and or a commission depending on the investment strategies utilized. All compensation will be disclosed prior to initiating any recommendations.
