Established Physicians – Manage the growing complexity of your financial life. This includes college planning, reviewing insurance coverage and estate plans, optimizing how you save and invest for different goals as your income rises, and detailed retirement planning to put you on track and make sure you remain there. Preparing for Retirement – Get ready for, and navigate, the retirement transition. This includes understanding whether you have enough money to retire, turning your investment portfolio into a “paycheck” in retirement, tax planning to minimize the amount that goes to the IRS, figuring out the best strategy for claiming Social Security, and navigating healthcare decisions from Medicare to long-term care insurance.
