Working with an Advisor
Whether you’re going through the loss of a loved one, a divorce, planning for retirement, or a career change, Bloom understands the challenge of life-altering events for women. We offer an oasis of solid financial guidance for many clients in the midst of stressful life transitions.
Our highly-skilled and caring team of financial professionals pledge to be there for you with sound financial advice throughout both the ups and the downs:
- Loss of Loved One—With a mission to relieve stress, encourage healing and build a secure financial future, we assist clients with estate planning, tax planning, investments, and more after losing a loved one.
- Divorce— As a top-rated divorce financial advisory firm, we help clients with valuable information on financial issues related to divorce, including taxes, retirement plans, health insurance coverage, and more.
- Inheritance—Bloom helps clients make the most impact with inherited assets through thoughtful, expert guidance to help ease that overwhelming feeling that can accompany the arrival of a large sum of money.
- Retirement—As one of the top financial advisory firms in the United States, Bloom works to ensure our clients can retire confidently and on their own terms through expert wealth management.
- Career Change—Although changing careers can be rewarding, it also involves important financial decisions, and Bloom helps ease the transition by providing expert financial advice.
The firm maintains a boutique feel with a personalized approach that differentiates us from many other financial advisory firms. We have a low client-to-advisor ratio, which allows us to be uniquely attentive to our clients, and give them financial peace of mind even in the midst of turbulent changes in their lives.
Our award-winning team is led by powerful, motivated, and experienced men and women. Each of us have a deeply personal reason why we were drawn to do this work. Our passion and dedication are some of the many reasons why our clients love working with us. We have effective, long-lasting relationships with our clients and a client retention rate of 98%, which is far above the industry average.
Yes and yes! We are independent, fiduciary and fee-only. We have taken a fiduciary oath to keep your interests first.
The core principles that we follow as a Fiduciary are to put you, our client’s, best interests first. Act with prudence, that is, with the skill, care, diligence, and good judgment of a professional. Do not mislead you, our client —provide conspicuous, full, and fair disclosure of all important facts. Avoid conflicts of interest and fully disclose and fairly manage.
The White House’s Council on Economic Advisors found that non-fiduciary advice costs investors an extra $17 billion per year. Being a fee-only wealth management firm means that we never receive any type of commission or kickback from an investment or insurance product. You can rest assured that if we are making a recommendation to you, it is because it is in your best interest. We are committed to you, and to helping you live your very best life!
Yes! We will work in tandem with any professionals who are already providing guidance in your life. With your permission, we can exchange information and ideas with your team to optimize the advice we provide to you. Your team might include an accountant, estate planning attorney, property and casualty insurance agent, as well as other professionals such as life, disability, long-term care, and health insurance experts.
Over the years, Bloom has also built trusted relationships with professionals you may need along your financial journey. We are happy to be a resource for you if you need help.
No. There is no fee for your initial meeting with our Bloom advisors. In this meeting, we will answer any questions you may have and help determine if we are the right advisor for you.
Financial Planning Support
Yes! Are you halfway to retirement and need a solid plan? About to change jobs or have a pending marriage or divorce? Saving for a child’s education? We will build you a customized financial plan that will help you reach your goals and map out your financial future until age 95, and beyond.
Your financial plan is a living, breathing document. For most of our clients, we update their financial plan each year.
Yes! Our interactive, easy-to-use software solution will allow you to stay on top of your finances as never before. You will be able to see all your bills and money at a glance on your custom Bloom client dashboard. You can effortlessly track your spending and check your account balances in real time.
We’re committed to keeping your data secure, and use multiple safety measures, like secure encryption. We are serious about security, and work to keep your information protected.
Investment Management Support
As independent, fee-only, fiduciary advisors, we have access to thousands of investment solutions and can objectively choose the best investments to help you reach your goals. We partner with the top research firms to thoroughly vet every investment that we recommend for your portfolio. Bloom also uses a disciplined process to add and remove investments from your portfolio, along with rebalancing the mix of stocks and bonds that is right for you. We structure portfolios for the long term, so that you can live your best life – now and in the future. The financial markets have been as unpredictable as ever, so you need a seasoned professional by your side who can build you a resilient portfolio that can adjust for the changing tides and protect your money. Bloom is here for you!
Bloom offers both financial planning and investment management. If you want only stand-alone financial planning, then we’re probably not the right fit.
In addition to the Certified Financial Planner™ designation, our advisors are also Certified Divorce Financial Analyst® professionals. A CDFA® is an expert on the financial facets of divorce and plays a critical role in making sure that you are financially secure during and after your divorce.
