How it works

Once You Become a Client

As a firm, we believe a structured client service calendar provides maximum value to our clients. 

However, our lives are unpredictable, and even the most thought-out plans get thrown a curveball.  That is why clients of Pay It Forward Financial Planning can reach out to their planner at any time should something come up in their lives that affect their financial situation.

We monitor client investments throughout the year.
