Working with Denise

Building a relationship with an investor isn't just a business transaction. To me, it's much more.

Working with a client to determine how best to plan for his or her financial future is a relationship which demands attention to detail and a personal commitment to help achieve a family's goals in building wealth over a lifetime.

In my experience, I've found it important to understand how each individual investor perceives and understands his or her specific financial goals. As someone's personal wealth advisor, I strive to communicate at a person's own level of understanding and give guidance based on the unique financial needs of every investor who I'm fortunate enough to serve.

As a result, my decades of experience in wealth management has taught me the value of bringing to a client relationship a dedication to the following:

Being a great listener
Initiating discovery conversations about each person's financial goals
Adjusting communication styles to guide ongoing conversations
Developing a path to work towards an appropriate and unique solution, which requires:
- Clearly spelling out options and having full transparency
- Setting clear expectations about the process moving forward
- Presenting recommended solutions
- Working in phases, if necessary
Successfully educating my clients about what is happening with their personal finances
Wealth transfer - estate planning discussions

I've developed over the years a great deal of patience -- not only in developing a holistic and comprehensive plan for each client, but also in providing ongoing education and support to help make them an even better investor. In the end, a wealth advisor should help bring you financial success and peace of mind.

At IFA, I'm able to tap into a multitude of tools and resources to help meet a client's financial objectives. For more information on how I can be of service, please feel free to contact Denise Delaney at 949-428-0457 or [email protected]. An introductory conversation is offered by me on a complimentary basis.
