Financial & Estate Planning

Financial Planning Consultants

We see it all the time: “Comprehensive” financial plans that lack key tax and business considerations, putting financial futures on the line. This is a frightening side effect of limited tax and accounting knowledge among a surprising number of financial planners. 

With Haefele Flanagan, your financial success doesn’t hinge on the opinions of one person. Haefele Flanagan employs a team approach that taps the expertise of many internal staffers, adding up to a truly exhaustive and truly well designed financial plan.

Using your short- and long-term financial goals as a starting point, we thoroughly analyze your current finances for a clear understanding of your position today relative to your vision for your future. From there, advisors work with you to develop sound strategies for reaching your goals.

In addition to CPAs, Haefele Flanagan offers Certified Financial Planners™ and personal financial specialists who map tried and true financial strategies to your desired endgame.  

If you don’t have a plan for your financial future– or if you’re not certain that your existing plan includes proper attention to all variables – contact us. Haefele Flanagan will put you on the track to financial success, explaining every suggestion and decision along the way.

Estate Planning Consultants

Everyone needs an estate plan, not only to make things easier for loved ones down the road, but to strategically create, use, preserve and protect your assets and legacy today.  

Haefele Flanagan’s advisors strategically navigate the complexities of estate planning, working closely with you (as well as with your attorney and financial advisor, if applicable) to develop a personalized estate plan. As circumstances warrant (new heirs, new tax legislation, changes in business holdings and other assets, etc.) we revisit this plan to ensure that it reflects those developments.

• Clearly define your estate planning needs and goals
• Organize and create your estate planning team, involving experts on law, finance and taxes as/if needed

• Arrange for management of your estate in the event you are incapacitated
