Our Goals & Services

Working With You to Set Realistic Goals & Helping You Reach Them is Our Goal.

Here at Squigley Financial the cookie cutter stays in the kitchen when we formulate a Plan of Action with clients. We understand that life has many different pieces that can be tough to fit together and therefore our team works hard to make each plan personalized. With realistic solutions, we'll help getting each piece fit together to form your big picture. 

Once your goals have been established, we will customize appropriate strategies to suit your vision and objectives. We can help you execute all or part of the financial plan utilizing a variety of products and services, or you can implement the new Plan with whomever you choose.

Our Services Include:

Fee Based Asset Management - both retirement and non- retirement. This includes giving you advice on your investment accounts, as well as your 401Ks, 403Bs and 457 plans. Fees are taken directly from the accounts on a monthly or quarterly basis as a percentage of assets.

One Time Financial Plans - Clients can hire us to do a full financial plan that can be implemented with anyone. We are happy to coordinate with the other advisors and providers that you are already working with to make sure the Plan gets implemented properly. Plans are charged on a per plan basis.

Hourly Consultation - there is no charge for the initial consultation to determine if we can be of service to you. If you have a very specific problem that can be resolved simply in one meeting, we are happy to work on an hourly basis, although in most cases, it is better served to get a full financial plan.

Widow/Widower Services - over the years, several clients have hired us not for themselves, but for their Spouse, in anticipation of their illness or passing. While the basic financial planning process is the same, we do give these clients an extra special level of attention as they transition into this new phase of their lives. This stage often includes a difficult transition as they work through Probate, settling the Estate and getting a new Plan in place (new wills, changing names and titles etc). In addition, many of these Widows and Widowers were not the primary financial person in their household, and need to learn how to get these things done.

  • Investment Review and Asset Management, including 401ks/403bs
  • Pre-Retirement and Retirement Planning
  • Student Loan strategies
  • Insurance Evaluation and Needs
  • Estate Planning, including a review of existing Wills/Trusts and other documents
