—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.

Too often, financial decisions are made without context or understanding. We designed our process to slow things down—to create space for thoughtful explanation, questions, and clarity.
Education is not an add-on to our work; it is the foundation. When you understand the “why” behind each recommendation, you’re better equipped to make decisions that feel aligned, intentional, and confident.
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.
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.

Our process is intentionally designed to support secure, full-service digital meetings. This allows us to work efficiently with clients while maintaining the personal connection that meaningful financial guidance requires.
Technology enhances clarity and accessibility.
Human relationships remain central to everything we do.
