WEALTH PLANNING

The Only Constant in Life Is Change —Your Financial Plan Should Reflect That

Life evolves. Families grow, careers shift, markets move, and priorities change. A financial plan isn’t meant to sit on a shelf—it’s meant to move with you, helping you prepare for the unexpected and stay aligned with what matters most.

At Century Management, we call it Wealth Planning—because it’s about more than just numbers. Some firms call it financial planning, and that’s true too. But for us, wealth planning means something deeper: aligning money, life, and legacy. We take the time to understand your story, your values, and your vision for the years ahead.

From there, we help you confirm you’re on the right path, prepare for change when it comes, and design a plan that adapts as life evolves—for you, your family, and, for business owners, your business. Our approach is to look beyond silos and the one-off answers that don’t consider the whole. Retirement decisions affect taxes. Estate strategies affect investments. Business choices affect family security. That’s why our approach is to take a comprehensive view—connecting the moving parts so your plan works as a whole.

True wealth isn’t measured in numbers alone; it’s the confidence that your money supports the life you want, today and tomorrow.


Our Wealth Planning Process

Step 1: Clarity We begin by understanding where you are today—your goals, resources, and both your risk tolerance (how much risk you feel comfortable taking) and your risk capacity (how much risk your finances can actually support). The two are often very different, and we make sure both are respected.

Step 2: Design We model your current path as a base case and then explore what-if scenarios that are most important to you and your goals. This lets you see trade-offs and make informed choices about the road ahead.

Step 3: Collaboration Great plans work best when the right voices are at the table. That’s why we coordinate with your existing professionals—or introduce you to trusted specialists—when expertise is needed. Whether it’s an attorney, CPA, insurance advisor, valuation expert, banker, or real estate professional, we help ensure the right expertise is included so your plan works as a whole.

Step 4: Implementation This is where the plan comes to life. We give clear guidance on next steps and help you put the pieces in motion—investments, cash flow, tax consequences, estate and legacy planning, philanthropy, family support, and risk protection. Think of us as the coach, drawing up the right plays. You remain the quarterback—calling the shots, always in control. We’re by your side every step of the way, as much or as little as you need.

Step 5: Communication Life doesn’t stand still. Through ongoing dialogue and regular reviews, we revisit and refine your plan as your life and goals evolve.

The Pyramid of Wealth Planning

At Century, we view planning as a progression:

  1. Foundation: Managing the Money
    Investment allocation, insurance, income, taxes, cash flow, and debt.
  2. Next Level: Achieving Goals
    Retirement income, college funding, health care, estate planning, charitable giving.
  3. Peace of Mind
    Taking care of loved ones, gaining organization and control, freeing up time, reducing worry.
  4. Fulfillment
    Leaving a legacy and living with purpose.

Whether you’re building the foundation or reaching for fulfillment, our role is to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
