What Is Financial Counseling?
For starters, its FREE!
Financial Counseling is the process of establishing personal and financial goals and creating a way to reach them. The ongoing process involves taking stock of all of your existing resources, developing a plan to utilize them, and systematically implementing the plan in an effort to achieve your short-term and long-term goals. The plan must be monitored and reviewed periodically so that adjustments can be made to ensure that it continues to move you toward your financial goals. The process is a mutually defining exercise in which the financial counselor explores your values, needs, attitudes, expectations and time horizons as they may affect your goals, needs and priorities. This process consists of the following six logical, identifiable steps:
In a world of ever increasing financial complexity, a Financial Counselor can serve as your financial "coach", who works as a generalist rather than having a specific area of expertise. The Counselor is able to understand and coordinate the work of all of your financial experts in order to assist you in the development of your financial game plan.
