Accountability: You help clients follow through on their financial commitments (you help them stick to the plan).
Objectivity: You provide external insight that helps clients avoid emotionally driven decisions in important money matters.
Proactivity: You help clients anticipate the key transitions in their lives so that you will be financially prepared for them.
Education: You educate clients on the specific knowledge they need to succeed in their specific situation.
Partnership: You work with your clients to help them achieve the best life possible.
