Focus on Your Business’s Future With Your Own

Our 5 step proactive process is straight forward and allows us to become not only your advisor, but your financial partner too. 

01

  • Purpose: This step focuses on building a clear picture of your financial situation, goals, and concern about retirement.
  • How I’d apply it to you: We would discuss your current income, assets, debts, and anticipated retirement expenses. I’d also ask questions about your desired retirement age, lifestyle, potential future health needs, and tax-related concerns, especially since you’re interested in tax-free or tax-advantage strategies.
  • Outcome: Understanding your priorities and goals, including what specific aspects of retirement (e.g. tax reduction, income stability, inheritance) are most important to you.

02

  • Purpose: A detailed review of your current financial situation and an assessment of how your asset
    and income sources align with your retirement goals.
  • How I’d apply it to you: I’d conduct a thorough analysis of your retirement accounts (e.g., 401(k),
    IRAs, Roth IRAs), taxable accounts, and potential income streams like Social Security or pensions. I’d
    also evaluate any potential risks—such as market volatility, future tax increases, or healthcare costs—
    and how these could affect your long-term retirement security.
  • Outcome: Identifying gaps in your current plan and opportunities for optimizing tax efficiency, like Rot
    conversions or strategic withdrawals.

03

  • Purpose: To ensure that you fully understand the retirement planning options available and how they align with your goals.

  • How I’d apply it to you: I’d walk you through the pros and cons of various strategies, such as tax-
    deferred accounts (401(k)s, traditional IRAs) versus tax-free options (Roth IRAs, HSAs). I’d explain how different investment choices and withdrawal strategies affect your taxes and long-term income
    sustainability. This step would also involve educating you on relevant topics like Roth conversions, tax brackets, and Social Security optimization.

  • Outcome: You’d gain a clear understanding of the choices available and how each strategy impacts your retirement plan, enabling you to make informed decisions.

04

  • Purpose: To design a retirement income plan that is specifically tailored to your unique finance situation, goals, and preferences.

  • How I’d apply it to you: After educating you on the options, we would collaboratively choose the best strategies to meet your retirement needs. I’d develop a plan that incorporates tax-free or tax- advantaged strategies like Roth IRAs or HSAs, balanced with secure income sources (e.g., Social Security, pensions) and a sustainable withdrawal strategy.

  • Outcome: A personalized retirement income plan that reflects your goals and ensures that you maximize tax benefits while protecting your income for the long term

05

  • Purpose: To take action and put the customized plan into place, ensuring you’re on track for a
    successful retirement.

  • How I’d apply it to you: We’d implement the changes discussed in your retirement income plan, such as making Roth conversions, adjusting your investment allocations, or setting up income streams like annuities. If necessary, I’d help facilitate the transfer of assets or the rebalancing of accounts to align
    with your new strategy.

  • Outcome: A clear and actionable plan in place, with any necessary adjustments made to your accounts and investments. Regular reviews and follow-ups would ensure the plan stays on track as
    your life and external factors (e.g., taxes or markets) change.
