THE SAFE METHOD

At Haven, we recognize that every financial journey is unique, shaped by career paths, life events, and personal goals.

That’s why we developed our SAFE Method—grounded in the CFP® Practice Standards for the Financial Planning Process—to provide a structured, yet personalized approach to financial planning. More than just a process, it’s our commitment to ensuring you have the guidance, strategies, and ongoing support needed to achieve financial success.
