Our Process

Life is all about choices. At Blakely Walters Wealth Management, we specialize in helping clients in the midst of a life transition. Our advisors help clients can help you understand the full picture of your situation, identify the options at your disposal, and choose the path that aligns with your best interests. Whether you’re getting married, nearing retirement, selling a business, stuck between jobs, or dealing with a death in the family, we’ll help you navigate these transitions and strengthen your financial confidence.

In today’s globally-connected economy, investors can access a wide range of financial institutions. From the “big box” wire-houses, to regional and boutique firms, clients have more freedom than ever before in selecting their financial partners. The question is: do your advisors have the same unmitigated freedom to work for you?

Only independent advisors can provide investment products to clients with true objectivity. At Blakely Walters Wealth Management, we pride ourselves on our independence and ability to provide unbiased advice and solutions that truly have your best interests in mind.

As a fee-based firm, we are primarily compensated by the fees we charge. This fee-based structure upholds our fiduciary responsibility and promotes our clients’ best interests.

1. A Comprehensive Perspective – Unique people deserve tailored solutions. Though one-size fits all policies may be the standard approach, we strive to gain a complete understanding of your financial life. We then align our processes to match your best interests and help you achieve your most valued goals.
2. Total Independence - In our rapidly-growing industry, independence is everything. Free from the constraints of outside interests, Blakely Walters Wealth Management operates exclusively on behalf of our clients. Our fully-independent firm was founded to return the world of financial planning back where it belongs: to you.
   

We are committed to simplifying the world of financial planning so you can live the life you’ve imagined. As longtime financial advisors, we have an opportunity to help people take charge of their financial lives in ways they’ve never imagined. Whether in our first meeting together or our tenth, our primary objective is to give you clarity about your financial situation and confidence in your future. We achieve this through listening to your goals, understanding your priorities, and crafting tailored strategies that are built to last.

Whether you’re at home or away, we are dedicated to delivering modern and efficient ways to connect with our team. While in-person discussions will always retain their value, our virtual-conferencing software makes it easier than ever to have face-to-face meetings. Many of our clients live across the country, and this technology has proven integral to maintaining our relationships.

Our planners have a wide range of experience, training, qualifications, and insight to deliver meaningful financial advice. Our team approach also helps us provide our best thinking, and multiple channels for client service.

Meetings are typically held at our office located in Tempe, Arizona. However, our wealth managers often decide to meet with individuals at their work place or coffee shops closer to their home. In addition we utilize web based meeting software that allows you to meet with your advisor no matter where you are.

Check in with your specific wealth manager for meeting options and preferences.

Our appointment system automatically books a 90 minute consultation for all meetings scheduled. However, if time is limited we can adjust our agendas to match your needs.

We sell advice. Our wealth managers adhere to a defined process that includes fact finding, education, goal setting, followed with recommendations for tools to utilize to accomplish those goals.

We have the ability to help clients execute investment and insurance strategies if they desire our assistance. However, our advice is delivered in a format that allows the client to implement the advice provided wherever they feel most comfortable.

Filling out our digital fact finder prior to your first meeting is the best way to prepare. Our administrative team should get you access to this tool once your appointment is scheduled, or earlier if requested. If you have not received your factfinder invitation please reach out to us for assistance. In addition organizing investment statements, insurance policies, debt statements, benefit summaries, social security statements, and any other relevant financial documents will be valuable but not required.

Yes! If you have a benefit package it's crucial that we understand how it operates. It is very likely that many of the goals we establish can be accomplished by utilizing tools already available to you through your employer.

Our wealth managers will help you identify the most appropriate road map to pay for services provided. The most common methods are through checks, account management charges, or a combination of both.

Existing securities regulations strictly prohibit published testimonials including online reviews. We serve individuals and companies across the United States and conduct thousands of financial planning meetings a year. Still unsure?
