Garner Financial Management’s mission is simple: we develop investment portfolio strategies tailored to meet your long-term goals. We focus on what we do best; solving your investment management needs so that you have the time to focus on the activities you enjoy. We develop and manage portfolios for:

• Businesses(S & C corps, LLCs & partnerships)

A financial plan is the fiscal equivalent of a thorough medical examination. Not only is it a complete review of all aspects of personal finances but it will show strengths, weaknesses, risks, and opportunities; helping to develop a plan to address your needs and concerns. The process begins with a preliminary consultation to discuss your goals and concerns and will include basic fact-gathering to determine areas for further discussion and review. Based upon the preliminary consultation, the scope and potential areas for further consideration can be determined. It typically encompasses a review of:

• Investment management, examining your risk profile, savings rate and investment allocation relative to your financial goals(retirement, education, etc..)  
• Reviewing insurance coverage and identifying potential risks, including homeowner's, umbrella coverage, life, disability, medical & automobile.
• Employee benefit programs 
• Estate planning
• Tax planning

No plan is or can be static. As time passes your needs and goals will change, as can external factors such as the tax code, Social Security, medical coverage, etc.. We will regularly review your plan with you to ensure that it is still appropriate and adjust it as needed to help you achieve your financial goals.
