A: Onboarding is designed to move at your pace, while following a clear, structured process. We begin with an introductory meeting, followed by a deeper information-gathering conversation, and then present your personalized plan. After implementation, we reconnect at 90 days to ensure everything is on track and continue with regular semi-annual reviews to keep you moving forward with confidence.

A: We offer both. You’re always welcome to meet with us in person at our office, and we also work with clients across the country through virtual and phone meetings. While we value face-to-face relationships, our priority is making the process convenient and accessible for you, wherever you are.

A: Working with an advisor provides clarity, structure, and confidence in your financial life. Our team combines disciplined investment research with comprehensive financial planning to help you make informed decisions, stay accountable, and reduce stress. More importantly, we serve as a long-term partner, guiding you through life’s changes so you can stay focused on your goals.

A: Call our office at 330.800.0182, and we will set up time to talk with you. Choosing a financial planner is an important and personal decision. We want to make sure we’re the right fit for you. During that first meeting, we’ll learn about where you want to go and what you’re looking for in a wealth management firm. We’ll share our approach and process.

A: Our clients say that it is our team’s knowledge, our ability to talk about financial and life matters frankly and understandably, the depth of relationship we build with our clients, and our responsiveness. We invite you to read our blogs and watch our videos to gain a better understanding of our approach and strengths.

A: Doctors, nurses, nurse practitioners, therapists and other providers have unique financial situations due to heavy student loans, employed vs. self-employed statuses, high earning potentials and ever-changing health care landscapes. Nathan Ollish, CFP^®, has gained extensive experience with people in these professions. He asks the right questions and identifies the potential paths that may lead you to the lifestyle you seek. Set up an appointment with Nathan as a first step.

A: The best place to begin isn’t with a product, it’s with a plan. Before investing, it’s important to understand your goals, timeline, and overall financial picture. We help you organize where you are today and build a clear strategy, so your investments align with what matters most to you. If you’re unsure where to start, that’s exactly where we come in.

A: Tax planning is built into every recommendation we make. We look for opportunities to improve after-tax returns, like tax-efficient investment placement, strategic withdrawals, and proactive planning around gain, so more of what you earn stays working for you.

A: At a minimum, we review your plan every six months. We also make updates as needed when your life, goals, or the market changes, so your strategy stays aligned and up to date.

A: We start by understanding what matters most to you, then align every financial decision with those priorities. By connecting your plan to your goals, we help ensure your money is working toward the life you want—not just sitting in separate strategies.

A: No. Call our office at 330.800.0182 and our team can respond to your questions and most likely manage transactions for you.

A: Because we care about the security of your accounts. We follow all requirements for financial transactions and with technology that can now mimic your voice, we must validate your identity, document your desired changes, and secure confirmation from you before we proceed. We’ll keep the process as painless as possible … we promise. 🙂

A: Yes! Our firm is a fiduciary, which means we are legally and ethically obligated to act in the best interests of our clients. We must prioritize our clients' needs above our own and disclose any potential conflicts of interest.

Fiduciary vs. Non-Fiduciary Advisors:

• Fiduciary Advisors: Legally and ethically bound to act in the client's best interest.
• Non-Fiduciary Advisors: May only need to recommend suitable investments, not necessarily the best ones for the client. 

Not all Certified Financial Planners (CFP^®s) are fiduciary advisors; all Impel Wealth Management advisors are fiduciaries.

A: Depending on the type of retirement plan you have and your future employment or retirement plans, you may have several options.
