WEALTH MANAGEMENT

Cash flow is the cornerstone of your wealth management plan. Without a clear picture of what money is flowing in and out each month, it is impossible for you to make informed decisions with respect to the other financial issues that affect you. In addition to cash flow, your debt level and credit history are also important barometers of financial health. Good debt management ensures you have credit when you need it, make wise borrowing decisions, and avoid disaster if you become overextended. We can go through both your cash flow and debt levels, and assist you in better understanding your current financial status as part of the overall planning process. |

Are you prepared for the unexpected? Even the best investment and financial plans can falter if you have not properly prepared for the risks that exist for your family. Should something happen to you or a family member such as disability, death, or a long-term-care need, the careful planning and investing you have so diligently developed can become unraveled. As part of the planning process, we review your current situation, and make recommendations to assist you in being better prepared should the unexpected happen. |

College tuition is often a family's greatest financial hurdle, second only to buying a home. That means it's never too early to map out a savings plan - and to get the best possible guidance along the way:
- Up-to-date guidelines on contribution limits and restrictions
- The benefits of education savings and custodial accounts
- Saving on a tax-deferred basis
Together, we'll explore the alternatives and create a plan to make you feel comfortable about meeting your children's educational needs.

“The professionals at Couto
DeFranco were exceptional
with Quickbooks training. I felt
disorganized and uneasy that I
may be making costly mistakes.
As a small business owner, I
really need to understand
Quickbooks to keep a pulse
on my business. With the
assistance and training I
received from Couto DeFranco,
my books are more organized,
therefore, I have a better handle
on my business so I can make
better decisions to improve my
business!”
