Is August Wealth Management a Good Fit for Me?

Over the years, we’ve identified three characteristics among those who benefit the most from working with us. We call them the Planners, Dreamers, and Doers. It’s important to note that in many cases, these traits overlap.

Planners

Our Planners are highly organized individuals who know a sound financial plan is a secret to long-term success. Most already have some financial plan, but they lack the experience of adequately navigating the nuances that come with a comprehensive wealth management strategy.

Dreamers

The Dreamers come to us because they already know their end game. Whether their goal is to buy a retirement home in Acadia, travel the world, or leave a legacy that their family can enjoy for years to come, they want to be sure they have the resources to live their best lives.

Doers

The Doers come to us because they are busy living their lives. More often than not, they are balancing their work/life responsibilities and don’t have the time or energy to devote to developing a comprehensive financial plan.
