Our goal is to serve you by using the best tools and strategies available.

If you are attending one of our financial workshops, refer to the blue sheet in your workbook for specific days and times we have set aside for workshop attendees. Please circle two or three appointment times on the blue sheet and an SHP Financial Team member will be by to collect your blue sheets at the end of the night.

While you are not required to bring anything to your first meeting, it would be helpful if you brought the following:

  • Your latest financial statements such as Mutual Funds, CD’s, life insurance policies, annuity policies, retirement accounts (IRA, 401(k), TSA, 403(b), etc.), trusts, etc.
  • A copy of last year’s Tax Return, if possible
  • Your completed Retirement Road Map® Questionnaire, which will accompany the confirmation package that will be sent to you in advance of your visit
  • Any questions you may have or issues you want to discuss

We will analyze your current financial situation by reviewing with you all of the information you provide. Then by talking with you and identifying your specific areas of concern, we will be able to determine your needs and goals and make recommendations that are tailored to you. It is a fact-finding discussion.

There is absolutely no charge or obligation. Many times after the initial face-to-face visit, we can tell folks that everything looks great and no changes are recommended. However, if both parties agree that we could add real value to your situation, we would schedule a second visit.
