At Hall & Burns Wealth Management, we use a multi-step financial planning process as described in the diagram below (click each box to learn more).  The process is very professional, thorough, and client friendly.  Our goal is to demonstrate, in plain English, how we can help you to make the most out of your life with the wealth you have by bringing simplicity, clarity, and wisdom to otherwise confusing and intimidating issues.  

For those who are a good fit for our firm, there is no charge for the first 3 steps in the process—we want to help you make an informed and educated decision about working together before you agree to move forward. 

The first step in this process is our quick 20-minute Introductory call to answer any questions you have and to see if we are a potentially good fit for each other.  You will be invited to tell us about yourself, what you would like to accomplish and what types of services you desire.  After listening to your concerns, we will then explain our approach to helping clients, describing the different services we provide and how we can specifically assist you.

Before the call:

  • Please review our Services
  • Read Who We Serve to see if you are potentially a good fit for our firm
