24/7 Access to Your Goals-Based Financial Plan

The recurring planning engagement includes two plan update meetings per calendar year with your McLean Advisor. These meetings will be similar to the process you experienced during the Standalone Financial Plan Engagement and includes a comprehensive update to your Goals-Based Plan.

McLean’s robust online planning platform comprehensively addresses your ongoing financial planning considerations and scenarios. The planning platform allows for interactive web and mobile app access to the Goals-Based Financial Plan developed during your Standalone Financial Planning engagement at any time. Some of the features of the online financial planning platform include:

Ability to engage in interactive, real-time evaluation of your financial plan

Ability to conduct ongoing scenario testing

Aggregation and daily synchronization of your financial accounts

Allows you to temporarily adjust some of the plan’s underlying goals and strategies to evaluate their potential impact on the plan’s success rate without overwriting the plan developed in conjunction with your Advisor

The online planning platform is where your financial plan will “live and breathe.” Your initial Goals-Based Financial Plan will be loaded into your planning portal, allowing you to interact with your plan in real-time to run additional analyses, test scenarios, and update it over time.
