Financial Check-In

Is your financial plan still on track? A Summer Check-In

Published: August 12, 2026

A solid financial plan brings peace of mind, giving you confidence that you are on track to achieve your financial goals. Over the course of the year, however, changes in your personal situation and shifts in the market can steer your wealth strategy off course. Before the busy fall season begins, a check-in with your advisor can help ensure that your portfolio remains aligned with your needs and objectives. Some key areas worth revisiting are:

Have there been life changes?
Significant events, such as a career change, retirement, the sale of a business, receiving an inheritance, or a major purchase, could impact your short- and long-term cash flow needs and ideal asset allocation.

Have the markets been volatile?
If the markets have shifted significantly (in either direction), your asset allocation may be out of line with your intended investment strategy, creating an unintended level of risk. Your advisor can help determine if now is an appropriate time to rebalance your portfolio.

Is your tax plan still on course? 
The implications of capital gains or losses in your portfolio, changing tax regulations, and unexpected cash inflows or outflows all factor into your tax strategy. Your advisor may recommend adjustments to capture tax savings opportunities you might miss.

Has your cash flow matched your projections?
Unexpected cash flow needs or lower-than-anticipated spending can affect your annual plan. Now is an ideal time to reassess and recalibrate your cash flow projections for the months ahead.
