Life isn’t static.
Your financial plan shouldn’t be, either.

We’ll help you outline your goals, evaluate the right path, and implement your desired financial strategy.

Planning that prioritizes you.

Our financial planning process begins with understanding where you are today
and where you’d like to be in the future. The process is customized to meet your specific needs rather than what’s most efficient for us.

This approach allows us to help you quantify your aspirations, evaluate various paths for achieving these goals, and develop a blueprint of financial decisions all while working to maximize the likelihood of success, however you define it.

Prioritize what’s important.

Planning encompasses a plethora of areas, with varying degrees of importance, urgency, and complexity based on your age, stage, career, or situation. We’ll help address your most pressing needs first, keeping other areas in our peripheral to undertake when the time is right.

Plan continuously.

Life isn’t static, and your financial plan shouldn’t be either. Our plans aren’t shelved documents referenced annually, but rather dynamic scenario planning to help you visualize the what-ifs. Myriad scenarios can alter your economic future, and it is our job to guide you amid varying circumstances and decisions. It’s continuous planning, rather than a plan that leads to selling a product.

Access expert advice.

We engage with your current advisory team, and introduce experts when necessary, to bring you information and recommendations truly tailored to you and in your best interest. Together with your tax, legal and other advisors, we make informed recommendations amid your varying circumstances, communicating across your advisors to ensure each party knows pertinent information needed to do their job for you.

Find clarity and simplicity.

Your financial world is complex, but understanding it doesn’t have to be. We aim for you to keep a pulse of your full financial picture in one place with timely data. That’s why we address each area at a time, when it’s relevant, to help you understand where you are today without it being overwhelming, so that you can take the next best step.

The Balentine Difference

“I appreciate the entrepreneurial mindset with which we approach every day and every decision at Balentine. It’s important for a firm to stay nimble, and I love that we have stayed true to that approach as we've grown.”

Emily Barbour

Head of Client Experience, Principal

“Over several years, my wife and I focused on our estate transition to the next generation. We began working with Balentine toward the end of this process and they helped us with tools and advice. From an implementation standpoint, we put a team together and Balentine was on all the calls and emails, communicating extremely well. I felt confident we had the right team together and I’m very glad Balentine was there. They have helped my children, who now understand the estate much better. That has meant the world.”

Marc Noël

Current Balentine Client

“Balentine has a great story, and I love how the firm’s history has shaped our culture. Being a part of that story as a valued employee keeps me coming back for more.”
