Birchcreek Wealth Management

FINANCIAL PLANNING  & INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT

We are honored to serve clients across the United States, many of which are in our hometowns of Dayton and Cincinnati, Ohio.

 

When clients initially engage us, they are often experiencing life changes such as:

Preparing for retirement

Selling their business

Saving toward education for children or grandchildren

Inheriting family assets

Caring for aging parents

Going through a family transition such as birth, marriage, or divorce

We especially enjoy working with multiple generations of families. In fact, we make it a practice to extend financial planning services and a client’s pricing to their linear family - children, grandchildren, or parents.

Regardless of circumstance, our clients are those seeking sound, objective advice from a team that will serve as a steward of their financial planning and investment portfolios.

OUR PROCESS

At Birchcreek, we strongly believe your investment portfolio should be the by-product of a comprehensive financial plan—helping ensure your portfolio aligns with your financial goals.

Drawing on our expertise and experience, we help you establish a road map through prudent arrangement of assets, liabilities, income, expenses, and a deep understanding of your tolerance for risk.

DISCOVERY

balance sheet and budget

Initially we need to spend some time getting to know you, your family structure, your life priorities, your feelings toward risk, and what you see as the purpose for your savings and investments.

Through this process we inventory your financial assets and liabilities and spend time understanding how you generate income and spend. During this discovery phase, many other questions arise.

  • Do you have enough earmarked for retirement to reasonably ensure you won't outlive your savings?
  • When can you retire or enter into a "work-optional" lifestyle?
  • How have you arranged your finances to minimize the burden of taxes?
  • Are your investments properly allocated to manage risk?
  • How would your family cover loss of income or debt payment in the event of your death?
  • What resources have been allocated to cover skilled nursing care in the event you lose the ability to physically manage your own affairs?
  • How have you have prepared for the management of your assets in the
    event you are incapacitated, or the distribution of them when
    you pass away?

ESTABLISH A FRAMEWORK

goals

Having defined goals and objectives for your money enables us to determine the path needed to get there from here.

Establishing a framework empowers you to give each dollar a job, and ensure you are saving or spending based on the order of importance - meaning each additional dollar is allocated toward the next best use.

ACTION PLAN

Once the framework is in place, we provide a written financial plan with actionable recommendations to see it through.

Recommendations include steps to most effectively manage your net worth, mitigate the risk of running out of money in retirement, and specific investment solutions.
