What is Personal Financial Planning?

 

Personal financial planning is the process of formulating, implementing, and monitoring financial decisions in order for an individual or family to achieve their financial goals.  Facilitating this process is the primary mission of Grossman Financial Management.

Personal financial planning involves the management of personal financial resources, opportunities and risks through a careful and ongoing planning process. 

The financial planning process helps clients to effectively manage their finances in many ways:

  •  It formulates a realistic plan of action.

  •  It determines what financial resources are required and available.

  •  It identifies risk exposures and prepares for such contingencies. 

  •  It enhances the client's control of their financial destiny.

  •  It facilitates better strategic decisions. 

  •  It provides an ongoing process of planning, feedback, evaluation, and course correction. 

  •  It emphasizes measurable goals and expectations that provide real guideposts for financial action.  

  •  It makes it more likely that goals will be achieved.

The personal financial planning process guides clients to realistic and attainable goals.  In so doing, it plays a critical role in avoiding behavior that may be counter to a client's real needs.

The planning process generally follows these steps:

  •  Development of the mission and specific goals, such as for retirement, education, risk management, investments, and estate planning.

  •  Collection of the relevant information, financial and otherwise.

  •  Analysis of the data and the goals to determine feasible courses of action.

  •  Selection of the most appropriate strategies.

  •  Specifying detailed implementation targets and action items.

  •  Monitoring and measuring the implementation. 

  •  Modifying actions and targets as needed over time.

In the final analysis, financial success is in the eyes of the beholder.  At Grossman Financial Management, we believe that personal financial planning advances significantly the probability that clients will be financially successful in their own eyes by realistically establishing financial goals and then prudently managing financial matters to those ends.
