A lot of people arrive with the same two questions. Can I retire, and what does it look like when I do? We tend to make the first one the straightforward part. The second one is where the real work is, and we make sure it gets planned.
We start with the number, then we keep going
We help you make the most of employer-sponsored retirement plans and IRAs, work out how much you are likely to need to retire comfortably, and manage your assets both before and during retirement.
A view of what you have, where it sits, and what it is doing
How much you are likely to need for the retirement you actually want
A distribution plan built to support that lifestyle, not just to survive
Coordination of employer plans, IRAs, pensions, and Social Security timing
Then we plan for the part nobody prepares you for
Financial readiness is one part of a successful transition. Purpose, identity, structure, and relationships are the other. Michelle is a Certified Next Chapter Lifestyle Planner, and those conversations are built into the planning process rather than bolted on at the end.
What will give your days meaning and structure
How your relationships and routines change
What parts of your identity continue, and what new ones emerge
You get a partner, not a quarterly statement
Our clients tell us the value is the relationship. If something in life is hard, they call. That is by design, and it is why the tagline has always put relationships first.
Questions
About retirement planning
Have a different question? Ask it directly and we will give you a straight answer.
We look at what you have accumulated, what you expect to spend, what income sources you can count on, and how long the plan needs to last. From there we model a distribution strategy and stress test it against the parts you cannot control.
No. We work with retirees and with people who are still working and thinking about what comes next. Starting a few years out gives us more room to plan around taxes, income timing, and healthcare.
