You 've don e a gr eat job cr eat in g per son al w ealt h You've worked hard to create a career, personal life and investments to help you live the life you want. If you are like many of us, you may not have a clear, cohesive strategy to manage, maintain and grow your wealth for the next phase of your life - whether it's "work optional", full retirement, or some other goal you've set out to accomplish. There's no doubt that we live in dynamic and ever-changing times. The characteristics of investment markets, the economy, tax laws, the health insurance landscape, and careers are in a constant state of flux. You may be asking questions like "are my investments all working together to get me where I want to go?" "Am I certain that I've taken the necessary steps to minimize taxes?" "Will I have enough money to carry me through retirement?" "Do I have the proper insurance coverage, and am I paying too much for it?" "When should I start to draw on Social Security to help me with my retirement goals?" Among many other questions. The problem with financial planning today, is that too many financial planners treat it as a "point in time" and a static solution. As you may be aware, life is not a straight line from point A to point B. The fluid environment we live in demands a wealth management program that can be evaluated and adjusted as needed to ensure that you are staying on track. More like a GPS system, and less like a map. As an independent, fee-only wealth management firm, we work with individuals and families to create and manage their overall wealth. We've seen the obstacles that successful wealth creators face when trying to establish a road map for the future. And we've never believed that financial planning is a "one and done" process. That's why we created Artifex Blue, our comprehensive, integrated planning solution to help you maximize your options, create a successful future transition, and to seamlessly coordinate your investment and personal financial planning goals. We've combined the resources of our Artifex Intelliplan wealth planning service with our integrated investment management platform to provide you with the tools and resources to feel confident in your future, for one convenient fee.

We start with the behavioral side of finance, and help you to evaluate your existing decision-making patterns as well as specific personal goals and objectives. These goals become the core of the financial plan scenarios.
We then work with you collaboratively to create a customized plan to accomplish your goals, while considering tax, risk, estate and asset management strategies to maximize your results.
From there, we work together to establish a cohesive investment strategy across all of your assets, and implement solutions from among our in-house and best-in-class money management providers, such as Dimensional Fund Advisors, Blackrock, and Goldman Sachs Investment Management.
At this point, your Financial Control Scorecard is created within your GuideCenter, so that you can keep track of your progress on all of your financial goals.
Finally, we mutually create your Priority Action List, which governs task priorities and accomplishments over the coming months and years. This is updated at our semi-annual review meetings going forward.
The result is a consistent, ongoing process that involves you and your entire Artifex team on a regular basis to ensure that your financial and personal life goals are being met. The technology is innovative, and state-of-the-art, but what makes it valuable is the systemized process that we deliver with Artifex Blue. We provide what has been lacking in the fianancial services indsutry up until now - a program that removes the traditional obstacles to meaningful financialplanning and overcomes the lack of intertia that can set in after the initial planning work has been completed. In addition to these tools, you receive support and guidance from our team of experienced tax, financial, investment and risk consultants. We become your family's personal CFO office.
