What Is Financial Planning?

Financial planning is an ongoing process of evaluating your current financial situation, identifying your goals, and developing strategies to help you pursue those goals.

A financial plan provides direction while remaining flexible enough to adapt as your life changes.

Rather than focusing on a single investment or account, financial planning looks at the complete picture of your financial life.
