Cannon Advisors' Services

In our experience Cannon Advisors has found that there are 9 Wealth Management Issues that are most important to our clients which we help them address. Each of these issues are interrelated and, in fact, act like a balancing scale. If you make an adjustment to one issue, it affects the others. A properly structured financial plan enables clients to face any financial challenge that may present itself during each stage of their life. Through the financial planning process, we help them assess financial need, develop strategies to pursue their personal life goals and strengthen their financial future.

Investment Management

History has shown us time-after-time unexpected worldly events occur either by nature or man.  Each event sends a shock wave around the globe and often finds its way into the stock market and ultimately your portfolio.  We believe that in order to guard and grow your investments over the long haul, you must do so by stepping outside of the "style box".  In this, we advocate asset allocating not only among investment styles, but also investment strategies.  By allocating among a variety of long-term domestic, global and business sector equity trending strategies, very conservative hedging strategies, non-correlated alternative asset strategies and fixed income strategies, we feel that some amount of today's market risk can be reduced.  

Tax Coordination

Is my portfolio being coordinated with my taxes and vice versa?

Through our relationship with Cannon Tax & Accounting, we have the expertise in office to help ensure that your assets are properly managed to the reality of your tax situation.  In most cases, we find that the burden of coordination falls on the shoulders of the client, which usually means the left hand does not know what the right is doing.  This can lead to inefficiencies, missed tax-planning opportunities, overpayment for services, additional and perhaps unnecessary tax payments and less money in your pocket each year.  Proper coordination could save you significant time, heartache, hassle and money.

Family Risk

An efficiency study should be conducted to help ensure that survivors are properly taken care of in the of event of death or disability.  We consult with clients to determine if insurance coverage is appropriate and fairly priced for their specific needs.  In addition, we will review other risks including disability; long-term care; final expenses; etc.

Cash Flow & Debt Management

We formulate strategic plans to help reduce debt and manage day-to-day cash flow decisions.

Retirement Planning

Although everyone is different, no one wants to outlive their retirement savings.   By establishing a goal, developing a plan to reach that goal, constantly monitoring your progress in relation to that goal, and making changes as necessary along the way; your chances increase of obtaining your vision of living a comfortable retirement.

Education Planning

With each new year, the cost of a college education continues to rise.  Early planning is essential and we can recommend various options to help fund education for your children, grandchildren, nieces, or nephews.

Business Planning

We consult business owners on a variety of ways which may include financial statements; payroll; review and implementation of budget cash flow; hiring compensations; introductions to local resources (bankers, attorneys, property & casualty insurance providers, mortgage lenders, realtors, etc.); buy-sell agreements; disability; business succession and continuity planning; etc.  The goal of business planning is to help avoid unexpected problems that could impact your ability to generate income from your business.

Legacy/Estate Planning

By properly planning for death, you can help save your family added anxiety, time, as well as additional taxes & expenses.  We consult our clients on five main estate documents, including: 1) Will, 2) Living Will 3) Durable Powers of Attorney, 4) Healthcare Powers of Attorney, 5) a variety of Trust Arrangements.  We help educate our clients on each of these documents and the distinct purpose in which they serve, and will help coordinate if appropriate.

Special Planning

Throughout your life as you pursue your long-term goals, some expected and unexpected needs will arise.  Whether it is planning for a wedding; taking a spur-of-the-moment dream vacation; deciding to buy a second home; or facing unexpected expenses due to unforeseen events.  Planning for the expected and unexpected is vital to achieving your goals.
