Financial Planning for Individuals
We help our clients pursue their personal financial goals by utilizing sophisticated computer-modeling tools and timely market intelligence. These tools allow us to continually monitor your wealth and help you toward your personal financial goals. |
Insurance Planning
Our wealth planning process is designed to continually
steer you toward your desired long-term financial goals and objectives. Because life's variables are constantly
changing, we monitor and provide regular reviews so you can be confident your wealth plan is current and dynamic. |
Investment Advice & Management
We construct customized portfolios utilizing passive and
active investment products. LPL Financial offers no proprietary products which allows us to recommend or reject any specific investment product. Our recommendations are independent and based solely on whether the investment fits your specific needs. This allows us to purely pursue lower risks, lower investment costs and competitive returns for you. Our core focus is to be an opportunistic, all-market, all-weather investment risk manager. |
Retirement Planning
Retirement planning is more essential than ever. With changes in markets and possible new regulations, it makes sense to do everything possible to work towards your future. We take the mystery out of financial planning for the long-term, whether your portfolio is modest or substantial. |
Wealth Management
Your wealth management strategy should be crafted with only you in mind. A cookie-cutter approach to investment objectives seldomly works, and that is not what we present. Our mission is to provide thoughtful, personalized wealth planning and investment guidance for individual clients. Call today for a complimentary review of your portfolio and get to know a fresh, new way of investing. |
Risk Management
Risk management is about imagining the future and planning for all possibilities. It is an essential part of wealth management you can't afford to be without. While it's impossible to know with certainty what life will bring, we seek to lower your risk of loss. We aim to do this by carefully managing your financial health and putting insurance protections into place. Call Tim Geisbauer for a thorough discussion of ways to potentially keep your money more appropriately allocated and your liabilities in check. |
Estate Planning & Trusts
It's never too early to consider estate planning to ensure your final wishes are carried out. While no one likes to think about death, it's vital to think about the lives that you leave behind. It's smart financial planning. Geisbauer Wealth Management aims to keep your estate where you want it to be, in the hands of your designees - not the state coffer. |
Education Funding and Planning
An education planning strategy can be the greatest gift you ever give your child or grandchild. It could offset escalating tuition costs and can provide tax benefits. We have been helping clients save and invest for college for more than 17 years. Call now and start paving a road to opportunity for your child. The sooner you start, the better. |
