Financial Advice & Consulting
We provide financial planning services that integrate all of the areas of financial planning in a carefully thought out way. This includes money management, investment, tax, insurance, retirement, elder care and estate planning.
Annuities
We provide a service which we call "annuity rescue." We can rollover complicated annuity accounts into less expensive, simpler accounts to help manage the "decumulation" side of annuities where you can carefully plan your withdrawals to fit your tax and cash flow situation each year.
Financial Planning for Individuals
We help clients look at their employer benefits packages to get everything they can out of them.
Portfolio Management
We manage investment accounts either on a discretionary basis or a non-discretionary basis.
Retirement Planning
Your diecisions around retirement are some of the most consequential and difficult decisions to make. We have the expertise to help people feel confident in their retirement choices.
401K Rollovers
In general, there are many benefits to rolling workplace retirement plans into IRAs, which can be much more flexible.
Insurance Planning
We evaluate insurance needs and make recommendations in a number of areas. Some examples are life insurance, diability income insurance, and long-term care insurance. We can even help people select policies as well.
Estate Planning & Trusts
We design a carefully thought out estate plan and help you get it implemented through your attorney (or find an attorney).
Tax Advice and Services
Some of the most valuable help we have been providing is in the area of unwinding future taxes due on retirement accounts and company stock plans in a carefully planned out way to pay the least amount of income taxes over a lifetime. Selling stocks a little at a time and doing Roth conversions are some good examples of this.
Wealth Management
Our primary way of working with our clients is to provide investment management services integrated with ongoing financial planning services to help them do the best they can for themselves and their family.
