Our approach to financial matters takes every single part of your life into considering from a financial standpoint. In preparing you for retirement, no matter your stage in life, we must ensure that we have covered all the bases and set you up for retirement. Here are the aspects we work on with you.

Retirement Readiness Planning

IRA Planning

Optimizing the use of IRA’s’ is an important part of financial planning. We take advantage of opportunities for tax-deferred growth in traditional IRA’s and tax-free growth in Roth IRA’s. We advise on Roth IRA conversions, deductibility of contributions, and penalties for early withdrawals. We calculate required minimum distributions and ensure that IRS requirements are met on a timely basis. Beneficiary designations are reviewed to ensure accuracy, up-to-date contact information, and conformity with current wishes.

401(k), 403(b) Employer Plans

For many people, their employer-sponsored plan is their largest investment asset. We review employer matching features and the palette of investment choices to make sure you are taking advantage of available opportunities and coordinating with your overall plan. When you separate from service or retire, we will help you to evaluate your rollover options and help you decide which actions will work best for you.

Estate Preservation and Generational Legacy Planning

We will ascertain that your estate plan not only provides for distribution to the ones you love but also protects your children’s and grandchildren’s legacy from divorce, death, and litigation. To the extent possible, we will reduce federal and state estate taxes and minimize estate settlement costs. We will also review beneficiary designations to determine that there are no inconsistencies. We coordinate with your attorney and CPA as necessary.
