You 'r e on you r w ay t o gr ow in g you r 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 path to recommending investment or product solutions. 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 Intelliplan, 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. Our Intelliplan financial planning service and our integrated investment management platform provides you with the tools and resources to feel confident in your future, at a very competitive fee structure.

Our financial planning center provides a client-friendly portal to access all aspects of your personal financial plan, including your various financial accounts, wherever they are held.
Ou r in n ovat ive f in an cial plan n in g pr ocess We begin by working 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. If additional steps need to be taken, such as the creation or revision of your estate plan, or insurance strategies need to be reassessed, our team will work with you and outside consultants and legal experts to complete these items.
Existing and future financial resources are tested for goal funding sufficiency utilizing several state-of-the-art methods.
We then work together to evaluate any necessary trade-offs within your plan to better position your goals for success.
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, Vanguard, Blackrock, and Goldman Sachs Investment Management.
Your personal client portal gives you access to up-to-date progress and account information, including spending and budgeting information. You'll be able to know at a glance how your plan is progressing, wherever and whenever you like.
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 Intelliplan. Additionally, you receive support and guidance from our team of experienced tax, financial, investment and risk consultants. Once the initial plan and investment strategy is implemented, we'll meet with you semi-annually to discuss any updates or changes in your financial life. And, thanks to our technological resources, you can meet with us virtually or in-office at one of our convenient locations.
