We focus on helping you make the most of your retirement resources in a tax-efficient way. Our specialty is retirement income planning, aka decumulation planning…how to best live off your nest egg and other sources of retirement income. We take a comprehensive approach to optimizing all of your available resources to help you most effectively achieve your retirement goals. Our holistic process integrates cohesive consideration of Social Security benefits, pensions, investments, real estate, annuities, insurance, work wages, etc. to maximize your retirement income. Furthermore, we carefully consider tax-minimization throughout each step of our process. We provide ongoing tax-efficient retirement planning and investment management. Unlike most advisors, our fee is not a percentage of your investable assets. We feel that method often overcharges clients who have been diligent savers but who do not have complex financial lives. Instead, our fee is a fair and transparent fixed annual amount.
