Imagine feeling PEACE OF MIND,
knowing that your financial house is in order and that any unexpected life challenges will be addressed with sound financial solutions.
We're INVESTED IN YOU
Simply stated, we believe being technologically innovative with deep investment and institutional knowledge is the cornerstone for sound financial advice.
However, our dedication to each client is what sets Northern Lights Advisors apart. Our commitment is your peace of mind; shortcuts are never taken to engage and meet your needs.
There’s no room for compromise — we take great pride in these ideals.
How we shed light on your situation, step by step
1. Inception
The financial planning process is very data-driven and starts by collecting financial data: all holdings, balances, transactions, loans, estimates, assumptions, benefits, coverages, etc. This gives us all the inflows and outflows to verify a complete picture of your financial life.
2. Budget framework
Next, we extrapolate a “typical month” of spending, generate forward estimates for planning purposes, and a budget framework to track against.
3. Review & Future
Then we dive deeper into what’s important to you: your goals, nice-to-haves, and other future plans and requirements. We share other considerations — from experience with similar clients — that you might not have mentioned.
4. Plan Development
From here, we develop a financial plan with quantifiable paths for moving forward. The plan becomes our base, against which we tie future conversations and edit as life takes new forks in the road.
5. ongoing plan

Making It Happen
We evaluate all considerations relevant to you and your circumstance, ensuring a sustainable long-term plan for handling inflows and outflows, efficiently allocating investments, maximizing benefits provided at work, and reviewing all risks and opportunities in your financial life.
Our goal is to boil complicated topics down to their basic considerations to create a joint understanding and selection of the most sound financial decisions for you. No decision is too complex nor too minor — even considerations around getting a dog — as our role is to be a voice of reason in light of what is important to you.
