Committed to meeting people where they are and helping them, get where they should be.
For the American consumer, 2012 was a year of slow growth. Recovery from the recession of 2008 has been sluggish. Although the national unemployment rate continues to decline, 12.5 million American consumers remain without jobs. Our debt crisis has leveled off; however, Americans as a whole remain $11.31 trillion in debt. We are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, but the journey is far from over.
For the individuals and families we helped throughout 2012, high unemployment, underemployment and stagnant wages were the most commonly cited cause of financial distress. In order to combat these factors, our focus was to continue providing financial management services that had the biggest impact on the changing needs of our clients. With declining income, many of those struggling were faced with limited options and a greater sense of urgency for overcoming their financial woes. Numerous consumers contacted us for help and many participated in one of our program and others received a counseling session.
In 2012, our efforts aimed to not only expand our financial services and extend our reach, but to also improve the efficiency of how we operate. We do not just want to be good; we want to be great at what we do. We strive to remain among the best in everything that we do, from how we find and communicate to consumers in need, to how we train and develop our employees, to how we administer our financial management plans.
Looking forward, we understand that although the economic outlook for 2013 is relatively positive, our clients will likely continue to struggle through a time that economists describe as being the slowest recovery following a recession since World War II. But regardless of market conditions or in which direction the economic landscape shifts, Wealth Management Financial Advisors is committed – now more than ever – to remaining ahead of the curve, and focused on providing consumers with the financial tools and services they need to overcome their financial hardships and adapt to today’s rapidly changing fiscal environment.
Helping consumers get out of financial trouble is essential, but giving them a financial plan to stay out of trouble is even more important.
