Joseph Nestler

I'm a fee-only fiduciary financial advisor in Chittenango, NY, serving Syracuse and Central New York. I grew up here and I work with my neighbors: married couples who are good savers, within five years of retirement or newly retired. I specialize in pension decisions, including lump sum versus monthly payments and survivor options, along with Social Security timing, Roth conversions, and 403(b)/457 rollovers.
