Our Core Values
At McKnight Advisory Group, our core values are the foundation for how we do business. A few years ago we went through a process with our team to select the words we felt best described our fundamental belief in taking care of our clients.
Everyday we are committed to being Respectful, Inspired, Gracious, Honest, and Thorough. We hold ourselves and each other to these standards.
We invite you to join us for a one-on-one consultation so that we may demonstrate these Core Values to you, and in turn learn yours.
Our Proactive Proven Process
Our business is built on decades of thoughtful client relationships. The importance of these relationships is why we implemented a proactive proven process many years ago, allowing us to best serve our clients and their families.
We first start with getting to know what is most important to you. We will ask you key questions so that we understand your goals and priorities. Then we share our process and resource guide, followed by recommendations for you to implement that align with your agenda to help you reach your greatest potential for success. Lastly, we continue following our proactive proven process each year to stay on top of your plan and goals.
Call our office at 615-895-8574 to get started in McKnight's Proactive Proven Process.
