Our Promise: A “Purpose in Mind Approach”
Welcome to Van Ham, Tan, & Associates

Whether you are a pre-retiree, or currently in retirement, we begin with a “Purpose in Mind Approach”. Much like an engineer can’t design a building without knowing what the end result of the project will be, or a surgeon can’t operate without knowing what he intends to fix, or a car manufacturer can’t make the best car without engineering where the engine needs to go, we apply the same results orientated approach to your personal finances, your tax and estate planning strategies and your retirement income planning.
The average person can agree that they need to save money, but almost no one can tell you how much they need to save, or how much income that will give them in their retirement years, or how long that money will last? The problem arises when you are saving money, without understanding “HOW” those savings will create growth and income. The importance of allocating your money properly, to gain the greatest economic benefit, is what we do best! The process we use provides the information you’ll need to understand exactly how creating income works. In addition, we’ll discuss how future variables can impact your plans for financial success. This assessment and the knowledge gained through the planning process, helps form the basis of “efficient allocation” of your wealth.
