Your Goals Matter

Using our Guided Retirement System™, we examine the following to create a retirement plan that is specific to your family’s needs and goals.

Below are the steps we take to build an individualized retirement plan, coordinated by a team of professionals, to achieve your goals for retirement.

BUDGET

Our retirement plans begin by developing a budget for your financial needs in retirement. We review the following during the retirement planning process:

Regular expenses: Mortgage, food, gas, vehicle payments, etc.

Health care costs: Analyze and inflate health care costs separately from other costs.

Occasional expenses: Vacations, new cars, college expenses, holidays, charitable giving, new roofs, new A/C units, etc.

Legacy: What am I leaving behind by not spending?

INCOME

Next, we review your income sources.

Fixed income: Social Security, pensions, rental income, royalties.

All other assets: 401(k)s, IRAs, brokerage accounts.

Taxation: We then review your investments and income on a tax basis.

Future inheritances

SOCIAL SECURITY

Maximizing your Social Security benefits is the next component of our retirement planning process. Social Security is also analyzed from a taxation perspective.

TAX REVIEW BY A CPA

Your CFP® professional then sends the plan to be reviewed by our team of CPAs for tax opportunities and savings. We also have our estate planning attorney review your retirement plan from a legacy standpoint for additional tax opportunities.

INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO

We then develop an investment allocation to provide the needed income stream to achieve your goals for retirement with the least possible amount of risk.
