Financial Planning for Physicians: Opportunities & Challenges

Financial planning for physicians is different from most other professions. After years of effort and copious amounts of student debt, you enter into a field where you become a part of the nation's top 5% of earners. 


Your needs differ from most, needing greater asset protection, investment planning, business planning, robust
tax strategies, insurance protection, estate planning, and planning for life's significant events. On the surface, it may all sound the same but becoming a high earner opens the door to more opportunity and risk.


Should you do it alone or find help?

We firmly believe in finding a mentor or guide to make the most out of your time and hard work. It is wise to become financially savvy, but a mentor will maximize your time and money to achieve faster and smoother results.


If you had no mechanical knowledge and your car broke, would you go to the mechanic or click on YouTube to figure out how to fix it yourself? With enough time and money, you could likely fix it yourself. You would save money upfront by not hiring a professional, though, in the long run, it would probably cost you more had you gone to the mechanic first.


Your financial future is the same. You can and should put in the work to educate yourself, but you also should seek the help of a mentor or a professional financial planner to help you reach your goals more effectively and efficiently. 


And once more, just like a car needs a mechanic for regular checkups, so do your finances. Financial planning is not a set-it-and-forget-it system. Life evolves, and so do your financial needs and risks.


What physicians need to plan for

Physicians need both personal and often business tax strategies to help find credits and deductions, assistance with price and coverage comparisons for insurance, investment planning to diversify wealth and reduce tax burdens, real estate investing, asset protection, retirement, estate planning, budgeting, and cash flow monitoring to create a solid plan to reach goals more effectively.

When you seek someone to guide you through your financial future, research their reputation, ask if they are familiar with your industry, ask about the products they recommend, and if they receive financial incentives for their recommendations that may skew their motives. You want someone that has your best interest as their top priority.
