What We Do

Life is too short to feel anxious and uncertain about your finances all the time. Life should be about love and laughter, spending time with family and friends, having new experiences, helping others and finding fulfillment in the things that are most meaningful to you.

At Katapult, we work with you so that you can spend less time stressing about your finances and more time focusing on what is most important to you. We aim to inspire, educate and empower you in order to provide you with Clarity, Confidence and Comfort.

Confidence

We will show you the steps to take to achieve your definition of success.

Comfort

We are here for you and will always have your back.

What Is Financial Planning?

Financial planning is the process of bringing together different parts of your financial life to build a roadmap for a secure future. We look at everything that affects your finances and together we craft a plan for achieving financial success, whatever that means to you.

A financial plan is not a 100-page report that you stick in a drawer for 20 years until the day before you retire. Financial planning is not a one-and-done event, it is an ongoing, iterative process. As your life changes — and it will — your financial plan will change as well. Working with Katapult will give you the confidence to navigate all of life’s changes as they occur.

When we work together, there are a number of areas we might address:

Setting
Goals

We help you identify and articulate your financial goals then work with you to develop a plan to reach them. Whether it is planning for financial independence, starting your own business, putting your kids through college or something else, we will craft a plan that outlines the steps you need to take to achieve your goals.

Investment Planning

Einstein once said that compound interest is the world's greatest invention. That may be, but your money can't start compounding until you start investing. We will develop an asset allocation and investment strategy that takes into consideration your goals, time horizon and risk tolerance so you can get your money working and growing for you as soon as possible.

Minimizing Taxes

We look at strategies you can use to pay less in taxes, both now and in the future, so you can keep more of your money in your pocket instead of Uncle Sam's.

Risk Management

Protecting your family and assets is just as important as growing your investments. We review your exposure to risks that could have an adverse impact on your financial future, discuss ways to minimize these risks, and evaluate whether additional insurance coverage is appropriate.

Navigating Retirement

You've worked and saved, worked and saved, and now the day is here — you get to start spending that nest egg you've built! It can be stressful transitioning from five day workweeks to seven day weekends. We will help you come up with a plan to replace your paycheck, decide when to collect Social Security, explain how Medicare works, and what RMDs are. Let us help you enter retirement with excitement rather than anxiety.

Saving for College

The cost of attending college has dramatically risen over the last twenty years. We will help you determine how much you will need to save for your kids’ future education, how to balance saving for their college and saving for your retirement, and the best ways to save for higher education.

Estate Planning

Everyone should have a few basic legal documents in place, such as a Will, Power of Attorney and Health Care Directives. We will help you understand the role and importance of each of these documents. We will also help you think about the legacy you'd like to leave, the pros and cons of the various ways you can pass assets to your heirs, and how to make sure your estate plan accomplishes what you want it to.

Causes You Care About

Many individuals love supporting causes they care about. Some donate their time and others donate financially. We love helping our clients give their money to organizations they are passionate about! We will create space in your budget for charitable giving and we will talk about different ways you can give in order to get more bang for your charitable buck.
