Baby Boomer advisors focused on approaching retirement in Florida

The right financial advisor for you depends on how you weigh location, expertise, experience, the clients they typically serve, and how they work with you.

You’re approaching retirement and need to make decisions about income streams, Social Security timing, and healthcare costs. Without focused guidance, it’s easy to misjudge how these factors interact, potentially leaving you short on funds or paying more taxes than necessary.

  • Income sequencing. Ask how they plan withdrawals from different accounts to balance taxes and cash flow over your retirement years.
  • Social Security timing. Confirm they consider your full financial picture, not just age, when recommending when to claim benefits.
  • Healthcare cost planning. Look for advisors who factor in Medicare premiums and potential long-term care expenses as part of your retirement budget.
  • Legacy considerations. Discuss how they approach estate planning to align with your goals for passing assets to heirs.

Here are top matches to get you started. Review each profile to compare experience, credentials, and approach.
