Retirement often signifies the start of an exciting new chapter in your life. We love seeing our clients embrace the chance to spend more time doing what brings them the most joy, while their hard-earned savings supports the expenses.  Rather than an end, retirement is a fresh beginning. While retirement can bring financial uncertainties and concerns, our team is here to help guide you through them.

We aim help you enjoy a higher spending amount or retire earlier than expected by using valuable planning and investment strategies as you approach retirement.

Our team has helped many people plan and execute their retirement strategy. You only have one retirement (if done correctly!) but our teams does it everyday.

We are a financial planning team focused on the whole picture, not solely investing assets. We believe that a great financial planning team should help you strategize your taxes, investments, Social Security, retirement planning, and more with your goals top of mind, before recommending what investments to own.

We know you’re working to build your nest egg and we take that seriously.

Here are a few items we help our clients with around their retirement age. 

1.    Social Security Planning

• Should we claim early or delay to increase our benefit?

• How will my Social Security effect my taxes in retirement?

• How will a spouses’ Social Security effect mine?

2.     Tax Bracket Management

•  What order of accounts should we live on?

•  Are their tax strategies to consider when deciding what account to spend first?

•  How will each account be taxed?

3.     Roth Conversions

•   What are Roth conversions?

•   Why would I want to make any Roth conversions?

•   Are Roth conversions right for my retirement plan?

•   How would a Roth conversion effect my long-term retirement outlook?

4.    Asset Location NOT just Allocation

•  Asset Allocation is pivotal, but considering where you hold certain investments is extremely valuable.    

• What type of investments should I own during retirement?

•  What kind of investments should be held in certain accounts?

•  Should I be invested aggressively or get more conservative in retirement?

•  How much cash should I keep in retirement?

5.    Do I have enough money to retire?

We love what we do and the people we get to work with. We don’t believe in selling financial products. We believe in building a relationship with our clients, listening to their goal and crafting a customized plan based on their priorities.

We listen to you as you determine what you want retirement to be like and help you create an investment and tax plan. Everybody is different and the strategy should be built to fit your unique needs and goals.
