After three meetings, some clients are happy to receive our recommended financial plan and set of recommendations, which are theirs to keep. But, most clients wish to take the next step and become a von Berge Wealth Management client, to begin implementing the plans we developed.

Once you become a von Berge Wealth Management client, we will be by your side, implementing our recommendations and assisting you on the path towards achieving your goals of financial independence.

First, we will establish a timeline for bringing you on board and initiating your planning and investment program. We will process new account paperwork, input any good-till-canceled orders for stocks and options, and will review any insurance needs.

Next, we will confer with your other trusted advisers and share comparative analyses. We will determine what other resources may be required to ensure proper advisers communication, and we review estate planning, to evaluate asset structuring and protection planning (as needed). We will then lay out a timeline, to ensure everyone stays on track.

We will keep a watchful eye on asset structuring, protection planning, stock and option strategy, execution and reinvestment, and regular portfolio reviews.

Finally, we will provide regular updates on the wealth management process you're your accounts, and shall review your wealth plan annually, in detail, to help identify new investment.

From start to finish, our focus is to provide you with a clear and thorough roadmap to help achieve financial independence, with the discipline to stay on target and the flexibility to shift course when and if circumstances warrant.
