Retirement

Retirement is much more than an algebraic equation. Yes, there is math about how much you have saved relative to what you’ll need in retirement to avoid running out. We’ve got that covered. But there are non-financial areas that are critical to a happy retirement – health and nutrition, self-identity, personal relationships and social life. We can help you assess your preparedness and enthusiasm, and partner with you for a retirement filled with confidence, independence and dignity.

Unexpected Events

Mike Tyson once said, “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth”.

Death, divorce, job loss, illness, accidents, natural disasters – you name it, our clients have been through them.

As planners, we do our best to prepare you and help you protect your finances from the unexpected. But when the unexpected happens, we will empathetically walk with you through the financial and emotional process, back to a confident you.

Personal Finance

Managing your money is more than just your 401(k) investments. It’s about debt, credit, and budgets. It’s about how and how much to save outside of your retirement account. It’s about how much house you can reasonably afford. Or whether that vacation home makes sense. It’s about how to pay less in taxes. The list goes on and on.

Let us help you with the whole picture.

LBGTQ

The dynamics of modern families can be complex. You can trust us to be your ally in navigating the issues in a way you can understand. We also enjoy partnering with our friends at the Mid-America LGBT Chamber of Commerce to support the community.
