Yours, truly.
Managing your personal finances isn’t one-size-fits-all. That’s why our personal services are built around your goals, values and vision. Whether you’re planning for retirement, protecting what matters most or growing your legacy, we offer clear, customized and transparent guidance to help you move boldly toward a confident future.
Financial Planning
Phillips Financial doesn’t settle for quick snippets of advice. We start with deep, careful conversations about your goals, concerns, family and the life you’re building. These aren’t boxes to check, they’re ongoing discussions that shape every recommendation. We bring all the pieces of your financial world together, organizing your assets into a cohesive set of projections that reflect tax realities, market dynamics and the broader economy. Because everything is connected, your plan should be too. For many clients, it’s the first time they can clearly see their entire financial life working as one, and that clarity makes confident decisions possible.
Why pay a fee for financial planning?
If you’re offered a “free” financial plan, it often raises more questions than answers, because without compensated time and expertise, key details and opportunities are easily overlooked. At Phillips Financial, planning fees create clarity from the start; they signal that both you and your advisor are committed to the work itself, not a transaction. When the relationship begins with All Fee Cards Face Up, there’s no smoke and mirrors, just a shared focus on building a thorough, meaningful plan designed for your long-term success.
What is Fiduciary Duty?
Fiduciary Duty is a legal and ethical obligation to act in a client’s best interest, requiring advisors to disclose and minimize conflicts of interest. Many people don’t realize that an advisor’s business model determines whether they’re held to this higher standard. Advisors who are not fiduciaries can recommend products that appear reasonable in the moment, without considering your broader financial picture. As fiduciaries, we’re committed to a higher level of care—one that always puts your whole financial life first.
Asset Management
Many smart, successful people end up investing the hard way, getting pulled into the ups and downs of news headlines and the latest advice from friends or coworkers. One day it’s a “can’t-miss” strategy, the next it’s a warning about the market. Even when you know you shouldn’t make sudden changes, the constant noise can make everything feel urgent. Before long, the stress, fear and second-guessing become overwhelming.
Insurance Management
Insurance, at its core, is a strategic tool. It simply transfers some of life’s biggest risks from your finances to an insurance company. Guided entirely by your priorities, we help evaluate key types of coverage, including long-term care, disability, life and personal insurance such as liability or valuables. Working alongside your other trusted advisors, we review what you already have, identify gaps or overlaps and highlight opportunities for more efficient or comprehensive protection.
Importantly, Phillips Financial is fully carrier-neutral, meaning we’re not tied to any one company or product, and we’re never incentivized to steer you in a particular direction. With decades of experience across insurance and financial planning, we approach these conversations with the same depth, care and expertise we bring to every part of your financial life.
Careful Conversations
Somewhere along the way, the financial services experience shifted, becoming more about the provider than the person being served. Clients were left trying to sort out what was genuine guidance and what was prepackaged advice.
Since 1949, Phillips Financial has taken a different approach. We value the quiet moments in conversation that help you clarify your own thinking. We invite you to talk through your questions, your goals and the people who matter most. Together, we explore your family, your employees and your life’s work, because within your story lies the insight that leads to your best decisions.
