Rorik starts off all new clients with the Wealth Review.

The Wealth Review is a one-time session that allows you to see the value in financial planning and the trust you can place in Rorik. The Wealth Review will give you snapshot feedback on your top 2-3 concerns with no long-term commitment. Those seeking a longer-term relationship then move into the year-round Wealth Retainer with confidence that Rorik can help them improve their financial lives now and into the future.
