Financial Planning Process – 1st Year

Synergos developed an automated, intuitive planning process that works at your pace. It will guide you step-by-step as we develop your plan. And, although it is automated, you will meet regularly with a human advisor who will help you shape your plan. The segmented times by month and quarter below are the typical timeline, but the planning milestones can happen sooner, or later, depending on when each step is completed on your timing.
