Most people spend forty years learning how to save. Then retirement asks them to do the opposite—spend what they saved—and nobody teaches them how. Provision Financial Planning exists for the Dangerous Decade: the five years before and after retirement, when sequence-of-returns risk peaks, decisions become irreversible, and most advisors disengage the moment the 401(k) rollover is done. We work with lifelong savers who did everything right, have no traditional pension, and now need a plan for turning savings into income without running out or overpaying the IRS. Our approach follows three steps: Plan. We map what your life will actually cost—your essential expenses, your discretionary spending, and everything in between. Prepare. We build an income floor that protects your essential expenses from market volatility, matching specific investments to when you'll actually need the cash. Separately, we coordinate multi-year tax strategy—Roth conversions, RMDs, Social Security timing—because we play chess while the IRS plays checkers. Protect. A plan that isn't defended against markets, taxes, health events, and time isn't a plan, it's a hope. We layer strategies so there's no single point of failure, and we stay engaged for the life of the plan, not just the rollover. Founder Robert Lindstrom, CFP®, EA, is one of a small number of advisors who holds both the CFP® and Enrolled Agent designations, putting him at the intersection of retirement planning and tax strategy. As a fee-only fiduciary, Robert is compensated only by his clients—never commissions—so his advice is never for sale. We specialize in coordinating retirement income planning, investment management, and multi-year tax strategy as one integrated system rather than compartmentalized services, because these areas are inextricably linked. We also have particular experience helping people retiring solo, the self-employed, and those navigating a major transition like widowhood or divorce. Based in Towson, Maryland, Provision works in person locally and virtually with retirees nationwide. If you're approaching the Dangerous Decade and want to move from anxious saver to confident spender, we'd welcome the conversation.

A Maryland native, Kerrie describes her work as, “a bit of a love letter to all the people and movements who made it possible to be here.” After graduating from Stanford University, Kerrie started her career in business with a focus on client management and operations at Yahoo!, ClearCompany, and MD Energy Advisors. These early positions revealed her strong mentoring abilities and interests in career development. Kerrie honed these skills in her following positions as Director of Student Entrepreneurship at Johns Hopkins University and Chief Revenue Officer at Invanti, a startup studio and fund focused on supporting pre-idea founders to develop sustainable business ventures seeking to impact kitchen table problems. In 2020, after two successive experiences of personal loss, the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the country’s short-term, non-curative responses to state-sanctioned murder of Black bodies, Kerrie had reached a critical juncture. She wanted a career that would allow her to give the best of herself to something that was truly making a difference. As Kerrie puts it, “some people learned to bake bread – no disrespect to sourdough starters – I learned financial planning.” With a Certificate in Financial Planning from Howard University, she transformed a hobby of mentoring co-workers into Equip Advisory. Kerrie’s greatest skill is her ability to listen and understand what you are trying to do and translate that into a concrete plan.
