How We Work With You
Our HIPO® Process
Our Mission
We strive to get our client’s financial House In Perfect Order.
That’s HIPO®—House In Perfect Order—and it represents much more than a financial plan. It is the systematic, client-focused approach we use to help organize, coordinate, and continually care for every aspect of our client’s financial life.
A Systematic Process.
A Personal Plan.
Every client is different, but our approach is consistent.
HIPO® gives us a disciplined, repeatable framework for understanding what matters most to you, coordinating the many pieces of your financial life, putting your plan into action, and continually adapting it as your life evolves.
House In Perfect Order is the ideal we continually work toward—together.
It Starts with What Matters Most to You
We find that what matters most to our clients generally falls into four areas: Family, Occupation, Recreation, and Money—or FORM.
Your family, your work, and how you want to enjoy your life help define “what” is important to you. Money is the “how”—the resource that helps support these priorities.
That’s why our process begins by listening and learning. Before we can help organize your financial life, we need to understand the life you want your money to support.
Discover. Design. Deploy.
DISCOVER
We listen, ask questions, and learn about your priorities, goals, and financial life.
DESIGN
We bring the pieces together into a comprehensive financial plan built around what matters most to you.
DEPLOY
Together, we put your plan into action, coordinating the strategies, decisions, and next steps needed to move forward.
Your Financial Life Never Stands Still. Neither Does HIPO®.
Life changes. Priorities evolve. New opportunities and challenges arise.
HIPO® is not something you complete. It is an ongoing process we use throughout our relationship to continually discover where you are, design for where you want to go, and deploy the strategies to help get you there.
HIPO® gives Black Diamond Planners a disciplined framework for taking care of the details while never losing sight of the bigger picture: YOU.
We work alongside you to organize, implement, monitor, and continually update your financial life as circumstances change—always striving toward the same goal:
Getting your financial House In Perfect Order.
