Our Services
At Selah Financial Services, we believe in the power of individual choice in your financial life. After all, it was that same power that founded our firm. Sharon Duncan opened Selah Financial with the vision of creating an approachable, client-centered, ethical atmosphere.
Broadly speaking, we cover all of the elements of a solid financial plan, including:
Retiring FITT
Our proprietary system helps ensure you have taken care of all your retirement details and decisions so that preparing for your retirement is not scary, overwhelming, and confusing. Our live and online Retiring FITT (Financial Independence Today ~ Tomorrow) classes and coaching help you understand your Retiring FITT roadmap.
Financial Independence Today ~ Tomorrow
We want to help you get out of debt and gain financial independence as soon as you can. Through our personal coaching, classes, and baby steps, we help you make informed financial decisions about how to spend your money.
Financial Planning
This is perhaps the most important element of your financial picture. We utilize assessment tools, analytical systems, and active listening to design your unique financial plan that is useful when making informed decisions about your Financial Independence Today ~ Tomorrow.
Investment Management
We use well-diversified portfolios as the central tool to pursue your goals. The systematic approach we take delivers a personal solution that takes your timeline, risk perception, goals, philosophies, and future needs into consideration.
Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against loss in declining markets, and diversification cannot guarantee that any objective or goal will be achieved.
Insurance Planning
We learn who depends on you and where you may have gaps in coverage for eventual and unexpected life changes. We know that you need to feel comfortable that your family—and your money—are protected.
Legacy Planning
You've worked hard to get where you are. We want to help your loved ones be able to enjoy the legacy you've gifted them so that you can be part of something bigger than the right now. Our legacy planning approach helps clarify your legacy goals and align your implementation details as well. Advanced planning strategies and tools such as trusts, donor-advised funds, and foundations are all utilized when needed for multi-generational wealth transfer and charitable giving.
Tax Planning Strategies
Everyone wants to keep more of what they've earned. We'll share important income and estate tax strategies, including tips gleaned through Derrick Callis's membership in Ed Slott's Master Elite IRA Advisor Groupsm
