Goal Assessment
Assistance in defining and prioritizing your short and long-term goals

Financial Planning Action Checklist
A step-by-step guide of simplified actions necessary to implement your plan and stay focused toward achieving your goals.  This checklist is used throughout the entire financial planning process and is updated every time your goals change.  You have a simple way to know what happens next, who is responsible and when it is to be completed.  We will lead you through every step of the way.

Annual Updates
Financial Plans are updated annually to reflect changes in your personal situation, new tax laws, investment valuations and economic factors.  Your Action Checklist is updated at this time as well to measure yearly progress toward your objectives. 

Investment Policy Statement
Your Investment Policy Statement identifies the parameters and organizes the objectives and strategies used to manage your money using our Investment Management Service below.

Investment Management
Investment management consists of the day-to-day management of all your assets according to your goals, as spelled out in your Financial Plan and Investment Policy Statement above.  Portfolios are designed to deliver growth, income or a combination of the two without compromising your desired level of safety.

Investment portfolios are managed by both us personally, as well as through the selection of  third party professional money managers.  Investment vehicles generally consist of:

  • Mutual Funds, Exchange Traded Funds And Institutional Money Managers (U.S. / International Stocks & Bonds)
  • Alternative Investments (U.S. & International Real Estate, Oil & Gas, Etc.)
  • Fixed & Variable Annuities 

Portfolio Review Meetings
Each year, we review with you, in a simplified manner, what tangible progress is being made towards your investment goals.  You will receive a summarized investment portfolio review report showing year by year results.  Strategies are adjusted and investments are rebalanced.

Asset Protection Review
Identification of potential threats to your financial health and protection of assets along with a review of alternatives, cost/benefit analysis of implementation, and recommendations.

Coordination of Your Financial Team
For the services we do not personally provide, we either work with your existing professional relationships or introduce you to other competent professionals from our network, including Certified Public Accountants, Estate Planning Attorneys and Mortgage Consultants.

Quarterly Newsletter
Updates written personally by RFC on a variety of financial planning topics and other subjects, such as:  market commentaries, educational articles, and economic and company news.

Saturday and Evening Office Hours
We realize that many of our clients have very busy lives between work and family that often makes it challenging to schedule appointments during normal business hours.  In order to help accommodate, we regularly keep Saturday and evening office hours for your convenience.

Invitations to Annual Client Informational Events
These educational meetings provide an opportunity to attend presentations on timely topics, network and discuss issues of importance with your advisors and other clients in a group setting.

Invitations to Annual Client Appreciation Events
Each year we like to say “thank you” by providing an opportunity to get together in an informal, relaxing environment, and just have fun!

Team Approach
As a client of RFC Financial Planners, you gain access to both Adam Finch and Michael Rautiola for all of your financial planning and investment questions.  All calls are returned the same business day, and a status report or solution is provided within 24 hours.  We want relaxed clients, who feel comfortable, confident and in control of their finances and their life.
