Welcome to Garv Financial.

This is Gaurav Bhola and the tutorial is about “Six Steps of Comprehensive Financial Planning.”
This tutorial covers the concept of comprehensive financial planning and its six steps process.
Comprehensive financial planning is a long-term course of action that can help provide financial security. Also, with the right strategies, you can build up a healthy nest egg. The current economic conditions have further tapped the American people’s financial insecurity and given greater emphasis on the need to do financial planning.
The process of comprehensive financial planning involves working with a licensed financial planner or financial advisor who builds a financial plan for you and guides you over the long-term in implementing the plan’s recommendations; so that you may achieve your financial goals. The complete six step financial planning process involves:
Identifying and prioritizing objectives
By sharing with the financial advisor your financial goals, the priority in tackling them can be set.
Gathering information
The financial advisor reviews your important documents, including bank statements, tax returns, budget, brokerage accounts, insurance policies, debt, and retirement plans.
Analysis of information
Gaining the big financial picture of your situation requires an intensive and methodical analysis of the information gathered about your goals and existing financial situation.
Proposal of recommendations
Contained in your written financial plan are accompanying recommendations that are in alignment with your goals and needs.
Taking action
Once your financial advisor proposes comprehensive financial solutions to reach your goals, it is time to take action on your goals.
Track ongoing progress
As your needs and goals evolve over time, your financial advisor works with you to track changes and progress as a component of the continuing financial planning process.
Achieving long-term financial success is not easy; neither is preparing a comprehensive financial plan. Do consider partnering with a registered financial advisor to accomplish the six steps of financial planning process for achieving financial success.
