Top financial advisors working with baby boomers and clients approaching retirement in South San Francisco, CA

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 might be approaching retirement soon and wondering how to balance income needs with preserving your savings. A common mistake is underestimating how taxes and property costs can affect your retirement budget over time.

  • Tax impact awareness. Ask how they factor in California's high income taxes and the benefits of Proposition 13, which can limit property tax increases.
  • Income sequencing. Confirm how they plan withdrawals to manage tax brackets and avoid unnecessary tax hits.
  • Social Security timing. Discuss strategies for when to start benefits to maximize your income stream.
  • Healthcare cost planning. Ensure they consider rising medical expenses and Medicare options as part of your retirement budget.

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