The importance of a financial plan: Biblical wisdom meets modern strategy

Published 10:54 am Tuesday, November 19, 2024

For small business owners, high net worth individuals, and real estate investors, navigating financial challenges can be daunting without a well-structured plan. Financial planning is not just a roadmap for wealth growth; it is rooted in biblical principles that emphasize stewardship, foresight, and discipline. Proverbs 21:5 tells us, “The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty.” This verse underscores the importance of strategic planning to achieve lasting success.

Creating a comprehensive financial plan requires the expertise of a Certified Financial Planner™ (CFP®), like myself, Philip Ambrose, at Rosenberg Alvis Ambrose Wealth Management. As a CFP®, my role involves a thorough analysis of your current financial situation, including cash flow, investments, liabilities, tax strategies, and risk management. We work to develop a personalized plan that aligns with your long-term goals, whether they include expanding your business, investing in real estate, or securing a comfortable retirement.

A financial plan covers investment management, estate planning, risk management through insurance, and retirement strategies. At our firm, we believe in a holistic approach—every aspect of your finances is interconnected, and we address each part to build a comprehensive strategy tailored to your needs.

Biblical stewardship encourages not just accumulation but wise and ethical management of resources. Jesus’ parable of the talents (Matthew 25:14-30) highlights the importance of using what is entrusted to us in a way that multiplies its value and serves greater purposes. Applying these truths, a financial plan ensures you’re prepared to steward your wealth responsibly, leave a legacy, and achieve peace of mind.

The cost of working with a CFP® can vary based on the services provided. Some charge hourly rates ranging from $150 to $400, while others may charge a flat fee for a complete plan or a percentage of assets under management, typically around 0.5% to 1.5% annually.

At Rosenberg Alvis Ambrose Wealth Management, we are dedicated to guiding you with expertise and faith-based values, helping you secure a prosperous future that aligns with your purpose and values.
