Long Financial Planning offers Comprehensive Financial Planning services for individuals and 401k advisory services for Small Businesses.
Our full planning process is very thorough. The initial plan takes place over a series of 4 meetings and covers everything from goal setting, investment recommendations, 'what if' scenario development for major decisions, to estate planning. Clients who complete the full plan have the opportunity to become retainer clients who receive ongoing planning assistance and investment management.
We also offer a one-time 3-hour planning session for clients whose situation is less complicated and want to implement any recommendations themselves.
Use the quiz on our website to see which service is the best fit for your needs.

We assist them with developing an investment policy statement, provide investment recommendation options to the plan and monitor them, as well as provide employee education.
