In many ways financial planning is a lot like assembling a jigsaw puzzle, only the pieces aren't available all at once, they come to be over the course of time. The puzzle itself represents the journey of life and the puzzle pieces represent the myriad of financial decisions that must be made along the way. Inevitably, there will be times when you're unsure how the various puzzle pieces in front of you fit together and the world or markets may not exactly be going along with your plans.

At Blom & Associates, we believe a successful financial life does not happen by chance, it happens by choice. For those reasons, we've developed and refined a process that helps our clients put the financial puzzle pieces together over the course of their lives. As advisors, we know people crave a relationship with a financial professional they can trust who will be in their corner when times are rough.
