Reasons to Schedule an Appointment With Michael

You recently transitioned careers. What do you do with your old 401(k)?
If you have recently settled into a new career, you might feel a bit disorganized. You might have questions like:
- What do I do with my old 401(k)?
- How can I consolidate my retirement accounts and insurance policies?
- How can I ensure all my accounts work cohesively towards my retirement goals?
- How does my new career and income impact my budget and savings?
Starting a new job can be the perfect time to begin working with a competent financial advisor so you can get started on the right foot financially.

Managing your finances feels like a full time job. Who can you trust to help?
People like the thought of managing their finances and investments on their own, but the reality is that it takes a lot of time. Laws and regulations are constantly changing, and financial opportunities are always evolving.
The time it requires to keep up could be better spent doing what you enjoy.
Michael and his team give people their lives back by providing the time and care necessary to serve his clients with excellence. Clients experience more free time and peace of mind when they know their financial well-being is cared for by a team of competent professionals.

You recently received an inheritance. What do you do first?
If you've recently received an inheritance or a sudden windfall, there are many things you need to be aware of. Michael not only identifies those things for you but helps create strategies around:
- Tax treatment of inheritance
- Rules about required minimum distributions
- How to invest the money wisely
These are things that are not easy to find an answer to because you need a competent professional in tune with your unique situation.

When you work with Michael, you will receive advice focused on your success -- whatever your goals might be. Michael's value to you is his ability to provide custom-tailored advice that is independent and guided by a detailed financial planning process.
Independent. Clients of Summit Wealth Group never have to wonder if the advice they receive is in their best interest. Because of Summit's independence from any bank or wire-house, our clients experience a wider variety of investment options. By removing any potential conflicts of interest, we sit on the same side of the table as you. Your success truly equals our success.
Planning-First. Too often, advisors emphasize investment performance without enough attention to financial planning. Financial planning is not only included in our process, it is the focal point of our client relationships. This approach keeps your goals at the center and guides our advice to help you reach a place of fulfillment with your finances.
Boutique-Style, Nationally Recognized. When you sign on with Summit Wealth Group, you are treated as a unique individual with a unique set of circumstances who need custom-tailored advice.
This approach has earned Summit Wealth Group national recognition from Forbes and Inc Magazine for its leadership in the independent financial advisory space.
Build Your Asset Map, Organize Your Life, Make More Informed Decisions.
The challenge for many of our clients when they first come to us is that their financial holdings are unorganized. Investment accounts, debts, income and insurance policies are all over the place. This disorganization makes it difficult to give any accounts the attention they deserve, which prohibits them from taking advantage of opportunities and costs them money. We take each of our clients through the process of building an "Asset Map." An asset map is a tool that consolidates your accounts and simplifies the financial planning process, which allows you to make better, more informed decisions about your finances.
Guess what? You do not need to wait for your meeting with a Summit advisor; you can get started on building your asset map for FREE today! Click on the button below to build yours.
