Financial Advice & Consulting |
|
Comprehensive Integrative Personal Financial Planning, portfolio analysis, design and management. Asset allocation, tax management including Roth conversion and other tax reduction strategies, cash flow, budgeting, social security and pension decisions, real estate, medical and Long Term Care planning, beneficiary and inheritance provisions, advance uses of life insurance and other risk transfer strategies. |
Financial Planning for Individuals |
|
I think what I do well is integrate sometimes opposing financial goals such as: Spending now versus inheritance later. Taxes now verses taxes later. Taxable versus tax free income. Variable verses predictable cash flow. Retained risk versus transferred risk. Insured Savings versus Investment strategies. Liquidity needs with liquidity costs. |
Retirement Planning |
|
I have worked almost exclusively with couples that are retired or retiring withing the next five years my entire career. Maximizing spendable cash flow while reserving for potential medical/long term care needs and still leaving the desired inheritance requires a different approach than all the previous years of saving and growing a portfolio. |
