What is LaunchEd?

For HR teams, executives, and employees seeking clarity and confidence in their financial future, LaunchEd by Legacy is a dynamic financial education program that empowers individuals, from employees to executives, at every career stage with actionable knowledge, personalized guidance, and proven tools. Unlike generic workplace programs, LaunchEd combines Legacy Financial Strategies’ expert CFP® professionals with a tailored approach to financial literacy, equipping participants to make informed decisions and drive long-term success—both personally and professionally.
Flexible Delivery, Personalized Support

LaunchEd delivers financial education with a flexible, tailored approach designed to meet the unique needs of your workforce:

Interactive Group Sessions

Expert-led workshops on topics like retirement planning, tax strategies, and annual enrollment benefits, conducted in-person or virtually. These sessions can take the form of traditional workshops, informal Morning Coffee gatherings, or Lunch & Earn events, where coffee or lunch is provided on-site.

Discounted Financial Planning Services

Employees at LaunchEd companies receive exclusive discounts on comprehensive financial planning services. In addition, many organizations choose to further subsidize these fees as an added benefit, providing employees with access to expert guidance at a reduced cost.

Objectivity

As fee-only fiduciary advisors, our experts prioritize education and guidance, offering unbiased support without selling products or investment vehicles.

  • Annual Enrollment Benefits Reviews (Including Health and Wellness Options)
