A Financially Organized Life

Posted on April 19, 2023

As tax season wraps up, this is a great time to make sure your important documents are organized. We wanted to share some tips on creating a system to order and arrange your bills, statements, insurance policies, and other financial paperwork.

Efficient record-keeping is the cornerstone of a robust and healthy financial life. When you have a system in place, you can easily locate and retrieve what you need. This saves time and effort when updating your financial plan, applying for loans, making a major purchase, establishing or updating estate planning documents, and more. Having information well-organized also sets the stage for better decision-making on investments, budgeting, and financial planning.  

When preparing to meet with your financial advisor, you want to focus on your goals, monthly cash flows, changes with your taxes, etc.; you do not want to stress about chasing down and locating information at the last minute.  

Financial paperwork generally falls into the following categories: investments, taxes, credit cards and loans, savings accounts, insurance, and estate planning. Here is a handy checklist to review what you should keep on hand in those areas.  

As part of Larson’s vision and commitment to being your one-stop financial resource, we offer an online portal for each of our clients.
