Our Team Approach

In addition to investment selection and portfolio management, your relationship with McCarty, Brown, Eden & Porter Financial Advisor Group and D.A. Davidson includes access to a wide range of financial planning tools and resources.

Our unique Financial Map tool is the foundation of our individualized financial planning process. It provides an easy-to-understand snapshot of your unique situation by focusing on four important segments: Income, Assets, Risk Management and Estate Planning. Additionally, the Map is a great tool to assist in achieving financial organization and clarity. This tool is reviewed and updated on an annual basis.

After completing a Financial Map and understanding your current situation, we will continue the conversation to understand your goals. We will work to determine risk tolerance levels, cash flow requirements and sources of funds. Next, we will establish a detailed plan and hold regularly scheduled meetings to go over progress and changes.

The Estate Planning review includes conversations with our internal legal experts to understand the intentions of your estate and review your current plan. To help ensure those goals are achieved, we will provide you with an overview of your current documentation and work with you and your attorney to fill in any gaps that may exist.
