Financial Planning
The Bannon & Company Financial Planning Philosophy
The Bannon & Company approach to financial planning helps clients make important decisions about investments, retirement, insurance, taxes, and transferring assets to heirs. The process is the sum of all activities necessary to accumulate, protect, and transfer wealth in the most cost-effective, tax-efficient manner possible.
What we do
We begin with what's most important to clients—their goals. Then, by exploring the financial planning process, we determine which variables require immediate attention and which are more long-term in nature. From our findings, we'll assemble a written implementation plan for our clients' financial future and monitor it to keep them on track.
Financial planning encompasses:
Accumulation: how to target asset growth
Risk management: how to protect assets
Taxation: how to minimize tax burdens
Business planning: how to grow and manage business assets/corporate benefit programs
Retirement planning: how to target distribution of assets in a tax-advantaged way
Estate planning: how to preserve assets
