Bernicke Wealth Management provides comprehensive wealth management to investors who want financial confidence today and in the future.
We are an independent firm, which means we don’t offer proprietary products; instead, we take a consultative approach based on many factors unique to your situation.
One of our goals at Bernicke Wealth Management is to provide you with financial education throughout the process of working with us, starting before you even become a client. Neither you nor the wealth managers make any commitments without thoroughly discussing services, fees, and expectations. If you’re considering working with us, rest assured that you’ll come away with helpful information regardless of whether you choose to move forward with our firm.
The initial consultation is an exploratory meeting to collect goals, financial information and to decide whether we mutually would like to pursue additional planning opportunities. After the initial meeting, additional meetings are scheduled as needed.
Additional plan design meetings are used to identify an individual’s financial strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities. Stress testing financial assets against one’s goals, providing specific recommendations, and comparing one’s uniquely developed investment plan also occurs at these meetings.
Once a client, ongoing communication continues. Our firm monitors your accounts and contacts you as needed when opportunities are identified. In addition, we review your plans and goals regularly or as your financial situation changes.
Everything at our firm truly requires a team effort. As a client, you work with a team of financial professionals who strive to provide consistent communication and follow-through to help you reach your goals.
