Financial Planning

“If you don’t know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else" -Yogi Berra

One of the most important roles of a Financial Advisor is to act as a problem solver in meeting a client’s financial needs. When a Financial Advisor works with a potential client the first meeting is usually a get-acquainted and data gathering time which includes an assessment of the client’s financial dreams, goals, and personal feelings toward a number of important issues.

John Ferguson is both a problem solver and friend to his clients. Faced with a client’s financial needs, he is the knowledgeable person who can recommend a way to meet those needs and reach financial goals. Whether it is creating funding for a college education for the children, to working with an IRA or Retirement Plan, or Estate Planning he is the “go to” person for his clients. Some of the areas he covers in Financial Planning include the following:

Planning for Retirement –

Simply put, retirement planning is preparing for life after paid work ends. This includes ones finances but can include lifestyle choices such as where to live and when to completely stop working. At Ferguson Private Wealth Management we work to make sure that retirement planning is taken care of ahead of time to relieve the burden of stress from our clients.

Tax Planning is the process of forecasting one's tax liability and formulating ways to reduce it.
