Easily Measure and Assess Your Financial Health
Physicians Thrive uses a financial planning system called Elements® to collect your financial information and measure the key indications for your financial wellness over time.
The Elements Financial Planning System™ gives us a real-time scorecard of your financial situation, so we can continually monitor your progress and provide ongoing, informed advice.
You can review these indications by exploring the Elements below:
- Are you taking the right amount of risk?
- Are you using your income wisely?
- Do you have the right mix of assets?
- How much wealth do you need to make work optional?
As we work together your financial plan will need regular course corrections to keep you on the right track.
That’s why each month we assess your overall financial health using the Elements scorecard and also focus in on one Element for which we collect updated data and do a deeper analysis.
Finally, we deliver beautifully designed, easy-to-follow reports that feature your very latest stats, scores, and any new recommendations for improving your plan.
This methodical approach to keeping your data up-to-date and refreshing your financial plan will give you complete confidence in your progress and direction.

Then, our app will help keep your data up-to-date with prompts when things get stale.

And each quarter we’ll deliver a report through our app that highlights all the progress you’ve made.

We’ll share recommendations with you by email, video, or phone.

Advisors who act as fiduciaries are legally and ethically obligated to make recommendations in the best interest of the client. Our financial advising relationships are built around educating physicians on the strategies that become a part of their individualized plan.
