Discover how the FREEDOM Map from Peden Accounting Services helps you align your financial goals with your life priorities, breaking down big dreams into manageable steps for a sustainable and fulfilling future.
At Peden Accounting Services, we understand that achieving financial success is about more than just numbersâitâs about aligning your goals with your life and building a sustainable future. Thatâs why we created the FREEDOM Map, a holistic approach to financial planning that sets us apart from traditional methods.
“My wife and I always said that we’re building the business around our life,” says Chris Peden. “You canât just focus on making money. You need to think about the lifestyle you want and the impact you want to have on your community.”
The FREEDOM Map takes into account your personal values, family priorities, and the bigger picture. Itâs about creating a life where your business and personal goals work in harmony. As Peden puts it, “We donât just want to help you become a millionaireâwe want to help you build a life youâre proud of.”
Turning Goals into Achievable Milestones
One of the key elements of the FREEDOM Map is helping clients break down their big annual goals into manageable steps. âWe start with yearly objectives and break them into quarterly and monthly milestones,â Peden explains. âThen we ask, âDoes this feel achievable?â Itâs important to focus on one key lever at a time so you donât feel overwhelmed.â
This approach allows business owners to make consistent progress without getting bogged down in the details. By tackling the most impactful priorities first, clients can see tangible results and maintain their momentum.
Overcoming Challenges with Support
Setting financial goals often feels overwhelming, especially when youâre juggling profit and loss statements, cash flow concerns, and competing demands. Thatâs where Peden Accounting Services comes in. “We help clients focus on just one or two critical areas at a time to keep things manageable,” Peden says. “Itâs about creating clarity and building confidence.”
Clients also value Pedenâs approachable style. “I make sure they feel heard and at ease,” he explains. “Whether they bring me a strange question or a complex issue, Iâm here to help without judgment.”
Why Peden Accounting Services?
The FREEDOM Map is more than a financial toolâitâs a roadmap for creating a life that reflects your values and aspirations. “We always start by asking what you need to live the lifestyle you want and what impact you want to have,” Peden says. “Itâs not just about making money. Itâs about creating a sustainable, fulfilling future.”
