Who We Are
We are an independent, fiduciary, fee-only financial planning firm that focuses on tax-efficient retirement planning. We also offer ongoing investment advice and financial planning to clients approaching retirement and in retirement. Marjorie L. Rand, CPA, CFP®, RICP® (Marge) founded Rand Financial Planning, LLC in 2018 and serves clients in Hunterdon County, New Jersey as well as throughout our great country.
We are intentionally a small firm because we take pride in giving our clients personalized service and exceptional value. This means you will work only with Marge Rand, the sole financial advisor of our firm. Our desire is to develop a personal relationship with our clients that will last many years. You won't be just a number at our firm.
Katie Ressa is our friendly office administrator who is always willing to help you any way she can. Marge’s dog, Rangeley, comes to the office every day and enjoys greeting our clients. Of course, if anyone is not comfortable being around dogs, Rangeley is happy to sleep in her crate during our meetings.
Who We Serve
While we serve clients with a variety of needs, we primarily work with those approaching retirement, surviving spouses, and those who received a recent inheritance.
What We Do
Using our comprehensive financial planning process, we work with you to develop a customized financial plan with an emphasis on mitigating various risks faced in retirement. As we guide you through this "retirement readiness process" and implement the steps together, you begin to have peace of mind about your future. You will also build the confidence you need to make the final leap into retirement when that day comes. We believe we offer the most value to you by having an ongoing advisory relationship with you throughout your retirement, as your financial plan will need to be adjusted as changes occur in your life.
How We Do It
What does comprehensive retirement planning look like? They say a picture is worth a thousand words.
This chart gives you an overall idea of the areas we cover. We address your most pressing concerns and needs first and from there, go through the other areas that are pertinent to your situation. We will have meetings every six weeks until your foundational plan is established. These meetings can be either in our office or virtual using Zoom.
Once your foundational plan is in place, we will have proactive meetings every six months, with additional meetings added as needed to update your financial plan, address any new concerns that arise, implement tax planning strategies and make adjustments to your investment portfolio. You can also schedule additional in-office, online or phone appointments with us at any time at no additional cost.
We strive to provide value that exceeds our fee.
As a fiduciary, fee-only financial planning firm, we do not sell any financial products nor do we receive or accept commissions, referral fees, or third-party incentives. Our compensation comes solely from what our clients pay us for our professional services. This is clearly stated at the beginning of our working relationship in a formal contract. Our business model enables us to provide you with unbiased advice and to focus solely on what matters most: your financial well-being. We operate on an open retainer model, which means in addition to our scheduled meetings, we are available to answer any questions you have at any time at no additional charge.
Our fee for comprehensive financial planning is an annual fixed fee which is calculated based on your total income, assets and the overall complexity of your financial situation and needs. After we review your situation and discuss your financial planning needs, we will provide you with a quote.
