Bolen | Dodson & Associates is an independent, SEC Registered Investment Advisory firm.  We provide integrated Wealth Planning and Goals-based investment management services on a fee only, fiduciary basis. Being a fiduciary means our client’s interests always come first. We adhere to a strict Code of Ethics. 

          Our Web Address perhaps says it best: www.LifeWealthCoach.com. It’s who we are and what we do. We are client centered and research driven. Our mission is to help people live inspired lives, free from worry about their money matters.  We are dedicated to helping you accomplish your goals, whatever they are, and help you integrate your money with your life.  By understanding your relationship with money and addressing your financial issues we will help you reduce stress and fulfill your dreams. We help you connect your money to your lives so as to engage, enlighten, and empower you. See Life | Wealth Integration for additional information. 

          True, life oriented wealth planning involves identifying your values and priorities, examining your current financial status and developing a framework to align your financial plan with your life goals. We start with exploring your vision, values and goals - whether that is holistic wealth planning or help on a specific issue. Only after a clear understanding of your needs and wants will we explore potential solutions with you. As an independent, fee only advisor we sell no products. We offer only world class solutions. Once an appropriate course of action is determined, we will help you implement your chosen solution and then monitor results to make sure they continue to support your vision for your life. See Wealth Planning for additional information.  

          A core element of our services is developing and managing investment portfolios that are customized to each client’s goals, timeframe and ability to handle interim market fluctuations. Goals based investing helps avoid emotional decisions that often accompany market fluctuations. Our investment approach encompasses both fundamental and technical analysis, is long-term oriented and tax efficient. See Asset Management for additional information.
