Financial Planning Stages

Financial planning is a comprehensive, long-term and broad process that entails getting to really know your financial situation, preferences and goals. Based on this understanding, we will build a tailor-made strategic plan for managing your financial matters and your insurance coverages, maximizing your cashflow, and realizing your objectives – now and in the future. The process includes 7 main stages:

Getting to know you

Financial planning must be based on really knowing you and your family, your finances, the levels of risks you are all exposed to, and your goals and preferences. At this stage, we will meet with you and gather data about all of your assets, including investments, bank accounts, cashflow, saving plans, insurance plans, and all other relevant financial information. Optimal results can only be achieved after creating a complete financial picture.

Defining your goals

Financial planning plays a significant role in defining your present and future goals, including the desired lifestyle that you would like after you retire. Financial planning is the axis between your dreams and reality. Expectation management can determine the type and scope of activities and services that best suit you and your financial capabilities.

Conducting research and analysis

When analyzing data and evaluating your financial situation, we will also examine the services and products that you currently have in terms of risk vs. possible reward, expenses vs. efficiency. We will also identify gaps between the desired and reality and examine your resources, yields, management fees, securities, tax alternatives, etc. The objective is to decrease the gap between your desires, your goals, and your financial capabilities – to provide you with a worry-free financial future.

Developing a financial strategy

Based on our research and analysis, we will develop a tailor-made financial planning and management strategy especially for you – to bridge between your desires and your actual assets, and define how to allocate your resources (including your retirement plan) to suit your objectives – now and in the future. Defined strategies also provide a series of recommendations for optimizing your financial services and products, and your insurance plans – so that they suit your long-term and short-term needs, capabilities and desires.

Presenting the financial plan

At this stage, we will present your tailor-made financial plan in the most coherent, transparent and reliable way – so that you really understand what your finances can achieve. Throughout all stages of financial plan preparation, we always put your best interests first. The plan includes specific recommendations, action plans, and long-term programs, and together we will decide how to implement and monitoring the defined strategy. The financial plan is created in order to assist you in your decision-making processes, now and in the future, and to provide a solid basis for realizing your financial desires at any given time.

Creating an action plan

Based on the said financial strategy, an action plan is created to re-examine and refresh the contracts between yourself and the various financial and pension entities, and to examine alternatives for managing and allocating your resources. At this stage, your insurance portfolio and contracts will be discussed, duplicate insurance plans will be cancelled, unnecessary plans will be eliminated, and necessary ones will be added – to ensure that the financial products suit the needs of you and your family. In addition, mortgage payments and additional funding solutions will be examined, with the purpose of decreasing funding costs and the period of repayments. Options for decreasing taxes will also be examined, and “lost” funds will be located, with the help of a range of tools and professionals. All components of the action plan are aimed at creating the best possible financial portfolio for you – to help you achieve your goals, as defined in the financial plan.

Following up and monitoring

Quite often, financial products change, regulations are updated, and market conditions alter. Your needs and those of your family members also change over time. This makes it difficult to really understand and keep up-to-date with your finances. That is why our financial planning delivers a periodical review of your financial portfolio and relevant updates, and adjusts the portfolio layout – to adjust it to suit the continuously changing reality. This way, you can rest assured that your financial portfolio is on the correct and most optimal path, so that you can realize your objectives. We are always here for you, every step of the way, happy to answer questions and solve problems as they arise.

Testimonials

Extremely professional

I have been working with Yosi for a number of years. After conducting a thorough analysis of my financial portfolio, Yosi recommended which changes to make, in order to maximize yields at the desired levels of risk and save on management fees. Yosi also manages some of my investments and insurance plans, combining professional knowledge, experience, and attention to detail for the benefit of the customer.

Rotem Levy, Misgav Regional Council
The right person in the right place

I first met Yosi in 2014 when I was the surgeon who operated on one of his children. We became firm friends. Before retiring from work as a civil servant, I asked Yosi for advice on investments, pensions, and health insurance for myself and my family. This was the best decision I could have made. Yosi was the right man in the right place, and he helped me every step of the way and in a most professional manner. Yosi is still in touch with my family and myself, and I am delighted to recommend Yosi's services.

Dr. Gidon Shoshani, Haifa
Provides a feeling of security

Since retiring in 2013, Yosi Pichadze has been my pension investment advisor for all my saving and insurance plans. In some cases, he is also the insurance agent. I have the utmost confidence in Yosi's recommendations. Over the past two years, my financial accounts have done well, despite market fluctuations. I highly recommend that all my acquaintances use Yosi as their financial advisor. Good luck!

Dr. Daniel Leshem, Haifa
A real asset to the market

Yosi has been managing all my financial assets for quite a few years. He advises me on which investment and savings options to choose, and carries out the agreed-upon deposits and withdrawals. Yosi provides professional, reliable, fast and efficient services, and is a real asset to this wild and confusing marketing of financial assets, pension planning, health insurance, and long-term care insurance. I am extremely satisfied with the service I receive from Yosi and whole-heartedly recommend his services.

Doron Storalzy, Timrat
Objective and professional

I was most impressed with how Yosi looks at matters, in an objective and professional manner, providing customers with what they really need, without trying to "sell" unnecessary products just to make a profit. Yosi also has a holistic outlook of each customer's finances and insurance as a whole. When handling financial investments and insurance plans for people with assets, especially those who are self-employed, Yosi offers peace of mind, working with maximum integrity and transparency.

Avry Ratchby, HR and Financial Manager, Kibbutz Sassa
Always readily available

I highly recommend Yosi as a consultant and am grateful that I work with him. Yosi met with me at great length to go over each and every insurance plan that I had purchased over the years. He identified some duplicate insurances, and replaced others for better plans. I found myself saving more than $200 each month. Yosi uses innovative software to organize and monitor my portfolio and is always happy to answer questions and queries. You can sleep well knowing that the person managing your portfolio is reliable, thorough, professional, caring and dedicated.
