Wealth Strategies Designed Exclusively for Your Needs
Founder of the WealthPlan, LLC
Working with The WealthPlan means working one-on-one with me, David Warshaw, a Certified Financial Planner for over 20 years. Let me tell you about my Four Seasons Approach to Financial Planning: a fully customizable framework I created to help my clients reach their retirement goals.
The Four Seasons Approach to Financial Planning
Just as the seasons change, so do your yearly financial needs. With my Four Seasons Approach to Financial Planning I guide you through each quarter of the year – with tailored strategies that align with exactly where you are on your road to retirement.
Q1
Winter
Retirement & Cash Flow
One of the most important things I do is help optimize clients’ finances for both today and tomorrow. I want to ensure you’re aware of your monthly expenses so you can budget better, determine your savings rate, and calculate your future income so you can retire with confidence.
Q2
Spring
Tax Planning & Insurance Optimization
We want to be proactive when it comes to taxes. This is why I review your prior year’s tax return using a tool called Holistiplan to determine key tax rates, strategies to lower your taxes, and make other observations that can benefit you in future years.
Q3
Summer
Estate Planning & Assistance To Loved Ones
Optimizing your estate and transferring assets to loved ones requires smart, forward-looking strategies. I work closely with you to create estate plans that ensure your legacy, as well as to develop strategies for helping those you love, including parents, children, grandchildren, and charities.
Q4
Fall
Investment & Account Reviews
It’s essential to review our shared investment philosophy, with close consideration of performance in the past year. Together, we evaluate portfolios annually, as well as go over outside accounts so I can help your complete financial health.

My Certifications

These certifications are important for me to stay on top of the latest news, legislation, and strategies. They make me a better practitioner so I can ensure the best results for you.
