Are you great at making money but tired of dealing with the complexities and lack of clarity around your finances? Have you already accumulated a respectable nest egg but are seeking a coordinated strategy to make the most of what you have?
The Successful Smiths have done well but felt like they were missing something. We created a financial life plan that aligned their money to their goals. Social Security and pension claiming decisions were optimized as were strategies for deferred compensation plans and stock options. Investment decisions were then custom tailored to their retirement plan. We also focused heavily on a tax-efficient, retirement distribution plan to not only meet their lifestyle goals but ensure as much of their wealth as possible will either be kept in their family or directed to causes they support.
For couples like the Successful Smiths, we focus on simplifying and streamlining all the pieces of your financial life by creating an integrated strategy that aligns your money to your financial goals, overlaid with smart tax strategies. The Smiths shared, “Things don’t seem nearly as complex anymore. We see how everything fits together into a strategy custom built for us and our future. The peace of mind we have around our money is absolute bliss.” *
