At American Financial Consultants, we take a values-based approach to planning your financial future.
Our values-based approach distinguishes us from other firms. While they focus on numbers, we focus on creating a comprehensive plan to help you achieve your real-life goals. Rather than inundate you with industry jargon, we speak simply and honestly about the values that define who you are. To us, it's your goals, your concerns, and your values that matter most.
Our Process
Before we ever make the first recommendation, we talk with you about your investment goals, available resources, desired rate of return, and risk tolerance. We then like to spend time discussing your financial hopes, as well as your financial fears. This one-on-one discussion allows us to customize an investment strategy to fit your specific needs.
