The Path Forward

The path to your retirement starts with an initial consultation with a retirement financial advisor. This no-cost, no-obligation meeting is introductory in nature, and an opportunity for you to ask questions in a private setting, discuss your plans and get to know the advisor and our company.

Initial consultations last 30-60 minutes and are held at a location that is most convenient for you; including your 3M office building or either of our metro area locations. In addition, we are happy to visit virtually or simply over the phone.
