Ithaca, NY
Current Financial Management
Understanding your current financial situation and addressing short-term goals helps you lay a stronger financial foundation right now. Some top areas Lake Road Advisors in Ithaca, NY help cover are:
Cash Flow
It’s simply money going in and out; however in reality, very few have a system or process to manage it. Do you know how much you spend per month? How much you invest per month? Should you be doing more to reach your goals quicker?
Insurance
As a Fee-Only Independent Firm in Ithaca, NY, we don’t sell any insurance, but we provide you an unbiased opinion to make sure you have the right insurance for your family. Do you have too much or too little life insurance? What about umbrella insurance? Renters insurance? Identity Theft Insurance?
Balance Sheet
Do you know your net worth? Are your assets “working for you”? Do you have too much debt on your balance sheet? Am I diversified enough? Should I have more assets by now?
Long-Term Plans
Preparing a strong foundation now is important for a secure financial future. Lake Road Advisors in Ithaca, NY can help you balance multiple goals and fulfill current needs while keeping an eye on significant moments ahead:
Retirement Planning
It still may seem far away, but you are probably now closer to the end of your career than the start. Do you have a plan? Are you investing enough to lead the life you want? What is the earliest you could be financially independent?
Estate Planning
Often the most overlooked piece of your financial puzzle but arguably the most important. Is your family protected in case something happens to you? Who would take care of your kids? Who would handle the finances?
College Planning
Have you started saving? Is it too late to start? What is the best investment vehicle for my child? Do I have enough saved? Will we get financial aid?
