Our Process

—designed to build understanding, confidence, and trust.


At Athena Wealth Strategies, we believe financial planning works best when it’s transparent, intentional, and grounded in education.

Our process is designed to meet you where you are, guide you step by step, and ensure you understand your options before making important financial decisions.

There is no pressure—only clarity, conversation, and collaboration.

  • Step 1: Complimentary 15-Minute Introductory Call

    During this call, we will:

    • Learn what you’re hoping to accomplish

    • Answer initial questions

    • Explain our process and next steps

    This is simply a starting point—no obligation and no commitment required.

    Schedule an Introductory Call.

  • Step 2: Discovery Meeting

    This meeting can be held in person or through a secure digital meeting, depending on what works best for you.

    We’ll explore:

    • Your goals, values, and priorities

    • Your financial concerns and questions

    • Your current financial landscape

    This step allows us to see the full picture—the numbers and the life those numbers are meant to support.

  • Step 3: Comprehensive Analysis

    Our team conducts a thorough review of your financial situation. This analysis is designed to identify opportunities, risks, and areas where greater alignment or clarity may be helpful.

    Our review may include:

    • Retirement readiness and income considerations

    • Investment and asset allocation review

    • Risk management and insurance planning

    • Tax-aware planning strategy considerations

    • Business succession planning, if applicable

    Every recommendation is developed thoughtfully and with your long-term goals in mind.

  • Step 4: Strategy Meeting

    Once the analysis is complete, we meet with you to review our findings and walk through potential strategies. This meeting is designed to be educational and collaborative.

    During this conversation, we:

    • Clearly explain what we’ve found

    • Discuss available options and tradeoffs

    • Answer questions and invite discussion

    • Refine recommendations together

    Our goal is for your financial decisions to feel informed, intentional, and aligned with what matters most to you.

  • Step 5: Plan Implementation & Continued Support

    When you’re ready to move forward, we guide you through implementation with care and attention to detail. Our team coordinates the necessary steps and supports you through each phase of the process.

    Our relationship doesn’t end with implementation. We continue to provide:

    • Active monitoring and periodic reviews

    • Adjustments as your life or priorities change

    • Continued education and conversation

    We view financial planning as an ongoing partnership—not a one-time transaction.
