Behind the Scenes: How We Help Clients Start the New Year Financially Ready

The New Year brings fresh goals. But without a clear money plan, goals stay wishes. At Terces Finance we help clients turn intentions into action. We do this with a simple, repeatable process. It is fast. It is practical. It builds confidence.

In this post you’ll get a backstage pass to our 5-step Ready Plan. We’ll show what we do, why it works, and how you can get the same clarity — including a free consultation to get started.


Why New Year Financial Readiness matters

Most people set goals and stop there. They pick a budget or a saving target. But money plans need structure. They need priorities. They need follow-through.

When you prepare properly you:

  • Reduce stress.
  • Avoid costly mistakes.
  • Make faster progress on goals.
  • Sleep better at night.

So we focus on small, clear steps that create momentum.


Our 5-Step Ready Plan (what we do, step-by-step)


Step 1 — Quick Financial Health Check (15–20 mins)

We review income, spending, debts, and short-term savings. This gives us a snapshot. No jargon. Just facts.

Step 2 — Goal Prioritization (20–30 mins)

We turn vague goals into concrete ones. Example: “Save $25,000 for an emergency fund by June.” We also check timelines.

Step 3 — Gap Analysis & Low-Hanging Wins (15 mins)

We compare current finances to your goals. Then we find quick wins: small budget moves that free cash fast.

Step 4 — Action Plan & Simple Budget (30 mins)

You get a single-page plan. It lists monthly actions, small milestones, and the next 3 steps. It’s easy to follow.

Step 5 — Follow-through & Accountability (monthly check-ins)

We schedule short reviews. We adjust the plan. We celebrate progress. This keeps momentum.

Each client leaves the session with a simple, actionable plan they can use right away.


A short client example (anonymized)

Client: “Sade”, small business owner.

Initial problem: Irregular income. No emergency fund. High transport costs.

Result after our plan: Built a $10,000 buffer in four months. Redirected one recurring expense to a savings goal. Started a weekly cash check that increased savings rate by 12%.

This is typical. Small changes add up.



What we cover in a consultation (what to bring)

Please bring:

  • Last 2 months of bank statements (PDF or screenshot).
  • A list of recurring monthly costs.
  • Your top 3 financial goals for the year.

If you prefer, we can work from a short questionnaire instead.
