• ADVANCED ROTH CONVERSION PLANNING & CONSULTING AGREEMENT

  • This Agreement is entered into on _________________________, by the investment adviser, Phase Line Financial LLC, (hereinafter referred to as "Adviser", "Our firm", "We" or "Us"), through its advisory representative _________________________ ("Planner") and _________________________ ("Client"). In consideration of the mutual benefits to be derived from this Agreement, it is understood and agreed as follows:
  • 1. SERVICES:

  • Our firm shall provide the Client with the following Financial Planning/Consulting services:
  • We provide a variety of financial planning and consultation services to individuals, families and other clients regarding the management of their financial resources based upon an analysis of the client's current situation, goals, and objectives. The purpose of this engagement will be to develop an advanced Roth Conversion plan to reduce taxes. Generally, such financial planning and consulting services will involve preparing a financial plan or rendering a financial consultation for clients based on the client's financial goals and objectives. This planning or consulting may encompass one or more of the following areas: Investment Planning, Retirement Planning, Estate Planning, Charitable Planning, Education Planning, Corporate and Personal Tax Planning, Cost Segregation Study, Corporate Structure, Real Estate Analysis, Mortgage/Debt Analysis, Insurance Analysis, Lines of Credit Evaluation, Business and Personal Financial Planning.
  • Our written financial plans or financial consultations rendered to the clients usually include general recommendations for a course of activity or specific actions to be taken by the clients. For example, recommendations may be made that the clients begin or revise investment programs, create or revise wills or trusts, obtain or revise insurance coverage, commence or alter retirement savings, or establish education or charitable giving programs. It should also be noted that we refer clients to an accountant, attorney, or other specialist as necessary for non-advisory related services. For written financial planning engagements, we provide our clients with a written summary of their financial situation, and our firm's observations and recommendations. For financial consulting engagements, we usually do not provide our clients with a written summary of our observations and recommendations as the process is less formal than our planning service. Plans and/or consultations are typically completed within one (1) month of the client signing a contract with us, assuming that all the information and documents we request from the client are provided to us promptly. Implementation of the recommendations will be at the discretion of the client.
  • 2. CLIENT'S RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • The Client recognizes that the value and usefulness of our firm's financial planning services will be dependent upon the information that the Client provides and the Client's active participation in the formulation and implementation of the financial planning objectives. The Client may be required to complete a questionnaire to assist us in formulating the Client's financial planning objectives. Copies of certain Client documents may be requested by our firm to assist us in conducting a more complete evaluation of the Client's financial planning objectives and to prepare a financial plan. We may reasonably request certain of the following documents in order to permit a complete financial evaluation: insurance policies, wills, tax returns, and other documents depending upon the Client's circumstances.

  • 5. LEGAL AND ACCOUNTING SERVICES:

  • It is expressly understood and agreed between the parties of this Agreement that our firm will not provide accounting or legal advice nor prepare any accounting or legal documents for the implementation of the Client's financial planning objectives.

  • Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time by providing written notice.
