How does an Excelsior Plan work?

We begin preparing your Excelsior Plan through a comprehensive data collection process that provides us with a thorough understanding of your current position and future goals. Using this information, we compile a number of options which are then presented to you within an Excelsior Plan. These options include a realistic scenario of your current projected path and outcome and potential alternative pathways and outcomes.

Once you have reviewed your available options, you can then make an informed decision regarding which path to take to achieve your desired financial outcomes. We then provide the education, assistance and support you need to implement the selected option from your Plan, which is done through the Excelsior Program.
