Why We Do It

 

Bohannon Financial’s mission is to help people achieve their financial aspirations. This genuine pursuit of goals is engrained deeply in the Bohannon Family. In 1981, Gordy Bohannon was on the University of Iowa football team that went to the Rose Bowl; the first time in over 20 years. He was inspired by his coach who mentored him in how to reach his goals. “Coach Hayden Fry just sold us on where we were going, not where we had been.”

Gordy took what he learned from the Iowa Football program and instilled those values in his personal and professional life. With those values as his foundation, Gordy built a successful financial services business focused on helping individuals, families, and businesses.

Gordy and his wife Brenda have raised four sons, each of whom has experienced success in athletics and their respective careers. Gordy attributes much of this success to the influence and support his sons received from family, mentors, and coaches along the way.

In business, Gordy draws parallels between receiving guidance from coaches and mentors, to working with a financial advisor. Investing in financial markets comes with ups and downs, and sometimes it feels as if there is too much risk and emotion. However, with the support and guidance of a financial advisor you can evaluate risk, focus on facts, and address the challenges of investing head-on.

At Bohannon Financial, our advisors focus on what is important; they help you craft a disciplined, diversified, risk mitigated approach to investing. Each day Bohannon Financial takes their commitment to you seriously; making your goals their own and applying their skills, insights, and care to help you reach your goals. The financial advisors who are part of Bohannon Financial are committed and believe that “You” are their “Why” for being in this business.

How We Do It

At Bohannon Financial, each of our advisors use a Client Focused Planning Process. This process has been developed to focus on key beliefs to help our clients develop and implement a financial plan. By following the process, your financial advisor can:

  • Evaluate the level of risk in your current program
  • Determine whether any changes could help improve your financial situation
  • Implement changes as needed
  • Help keep you on track to reach your goals

Step 1 – Discovery:
This step involves learning about you. Understanding who you are, what is important to you, then identifying and prioritizing your goals.

Step 2 – Analysis and Development:
We analyze the information gathered in Step 1. We have access to financial
software that enables us to run a variety of allocation and investment scenarios, providing you with a deeper
understanding of your current financial
picture and various courses of action to achieve your goals.

Step 3 – Developing, Presenting and
Implementing Recommendation(s):
Sound decisions are based on facts and careful research, not emotions. Building on Steps 1 and 2, we will select an investment strategy that aligns with your objectives and risk tolerance.

Step 4 – Staying on Track:
Circumstances can and will change for clients. Whether your goals and objectives have evolved, you’re worried about market volatility, or you’d just like reassurance that you are on the right path, we are committed, to being available to you. If you think it might be time to make changes, we can start the process again to help keep you on track.
