What We Offer To You
Here Are The Four Core Services We Provide As Your Advisor
Financial planning is the roadmap to managing your money effectively. It involves setting goals like buying a house or retiring comfortably, understanding what you earn and spend, and then making smart decisions to achieve those goals. Aspects include budgeting, saving, investing, and protecting against risks like illness or job loss. Financial Planning is ultimately about making your money work for you to secure your future and achieve your dreams.
According to a Magnify Money study. But the same study shows only 30% of Americans have a financial advisor. What do those few know that many don't?
The CFP® mark is the standard of excellence in financial planning, with high standards of professional competency and ethics. For those that require advanced planning, we offer CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNERS™ on staff.
Sonoma Wealth provides guidance on financial markets so that your investments align with your financial plan, including consideration for your real estate and business investments. Our advisors take on the heavy lifting of allocating, rebalancing and trading portfolios, at your direction, in line with the goals outline in your financial plan.
Derived from the latin word fiducia, meaning "to trust", being a fiduciary in finance means our advisors and staff work in your best interest. Our team, combined with risk-analysis tools built on a Nobel prize framework, gets to the core of your financial outlook and provides customized recommendations.
Navigating tax scenarios is often referred to as a "maze." Put simply- the types of accounts, investments and moves you make can impact how much tax you owe. With in-house tax professionals, our team can analyze your current situation, and plot out future arrangements to minimize tax liabilities and maximize tax breaks, in accordance with the ever-changing tax codes.
Our tax team crunches the numbers for you using indsutry-leading FinTech tax tools, and provide a straightforward analysis of opportunities and efficiency strategies.
Sonoma Wealth Advisors was rated "A Top Firm To Watch" by AdvisorHub. Our comprehensive approach ensures we fulfill all your wealth management needs.
The above-mentioned recognition was given in June 2023 based on the time period of 2021-2022. It was provided by AdvisorHub.com. Sonoma Wealth Advisors has reasonable belief that the survey used to determine the award was fair and balanced. The "Top Firm To Watch" recognition is not a guarantee of future investment outcomes and does not ensure that a client or prospective client will experience a higher level of performance or results.
Just as real estate has a standard amount of insurance, certain insurance products can also help protect your overall financial plan. Our advisors can give guidance in appropriate situations where insurance tools can prevent your plan from getting off track. They are protection against critical events, not investments unto themselves. Again, with Accredited Investment Fiduciaries (AIF®) on staff, our advice is in your best interest.
This means millions of families who count on the income of their providers could be at risk. And only 3-4% of Americans over 50 pay for long-term care insurance, despite Federal estimates that 70% of seniors will need critical services before they die.
Sonoma Wealth Advisors is proud to be recognized on Financial Advisor Magazine's "RIA Survey & Ranking" report. What does this mean for you? It means our approach is resonating with families just like you and with our peers in the industry.
