Financial Advice & Consulting
Coach Pete and his team assists families and business owners strategies to reach their long term financial goals.
Financial Planning for Individuals
Your retirement could last 25,30, maybe even 40 years. Having a precise, written plan should be a minimal starting point. We help plan for Social Security selection, tax reduction planning and Required Minimum Distribution planning. These all fit into the bundle of Retirement Income planning and help take the worry out of planning and living to and through retirement.
Financial Planning for Businesses
There are several tax planning tools for business to keep more of their profits and not give them to Uncle Sam. We utilize forward looking strategies instead of the backward looking tax process business owners are sometimes receiving from their accountant.
Portfolio Management
Customized portfolio construction to prevent large losses while achieving reason able rates of return. Portfolio design using more of an institutional vs retail approach.
Retirement Planning
Retirees generally have the same question: Will I outlive or run out of money during retirement? Planning is the key to make sure this does not happen to you.

The biggest mistake we see for retirees is they invest the same way in retirement as they did while working. The 3 big topics for retirement are

1. Capital preservation,

2. Cash flow and

3. Liquidity.

All are equally important ingredients for success.
401K Rollovers
When people have the opportunity to rollover a 401k, 403b, 457 plans to an IRA they should do it.

This opens up a much, much larger universe for investing.
Insurance Planning
We are fully licensed in both securities (Series 65) and insurance. We are a Fiduciary Planning firm.

Generally, most people do not know the role insurance strategies play in retirement. There is no cookie cutter use of insurance in retirement.

There are special products and strategies that have been specifically designed to protect against Long Term Care, Guaranteed income flow, tax free distribution to heirs and more.
Annuities
There are 4 types of annuities, and each has a specific purpose. The public does not have a clear understanding about annuities in general because they have not been exposed to them. They can be used for very low risk growth accumulation, or guaranteed lifetime income stream.
Estate Planning & Trusts
Although we review this topic with clients, when they are ready to use various trusts for estate planning, we refer them to attorneys with an Elder care specialty.
Tax Advice and Services
Consumers do not have broad tax planning strategies, but there are actions they can take to help with taxes and how their social security will be taxed. There are numerous tax strategies available to business owners.
Education Funding and Planning
College planning is a huge decision. We are here to help you every step of the way.
Investment Advice & Management
As Fiduciaries, we cannot take commissions out of your balances. We consult with our clients and then give investment advice on strategies and advisor teams that best meet what you are looking for. We then help you by monitoring these firms and decisions going forward on a quarterly basis.
Wealth Management
Building wealth is one of the most important aspects of financial planning. We like to look at our firm as not only helping you build it, but also insuring you don't lose it going forward. Ongoing recommendations and moves are designed to help us and you accomplish what you and your family need and want to and through retirement.
