Retirement Planning for the Years That Matter Most
I work with individuals who want clarity before they step into retirement. The decisions you make in the next 5–10 years will impact the next 30.
What I will do:
Help you decide when work becomes optional
Brings structure to tax and withdrawal decisions
Coordinate the moving pieces
Is available when real-life decisions come up
What we focus on:
Retirement date analysis and stress testing
Pre-Medicare health insurance strategy
Social Security timing
Tax-efficient withdrawal planning
Roth conversion analysis
Investment allocation aligned with retirement income
Coordinating estate and beneficiary planning
-
Retirement isn’t a date. It’s a decision.
We start by answering the question that matters most: When can work become optional?
We map out:
Your desired retirement timeline
Income needs and lifestyle expectations
Pension and Social Security options
Pre-Medicare health insurance coverage
Stress testing for market downturns and unexpected expenses
You’ll walk away knowing whether you’re ready — and if not, what needs to change to get there.
-
The years between retirement and required minimum distributions are some of the most important tax years of your life.
We design a withdrawal strategy that coordinates:
Taxable, pre-tax, and Roth accounts
Strategic Roth conversions
Social Security timing and tax impact
Capital gains management
Ongoing bracket planning year by year
The goal isn’t just growing assets. It’s reducing lifetime taxes and keeping more of what you’ve built.
-
As retirement approaches, the focus shifts from accumulation mode to distribution mode.
Your portfolio is structured to:
Align with your retirement timeline
Manage sequence-of-returns risk
Provide flexibility for withdrawals
Stay tax-aware across account types
Avoid unnecessary complexity
This isn’t about chasing performance. It’s about supporting your retirement plan.
-
For many clients, retirement isn’t just about them anymore.
I coordinate:
Gifting strategies to children and grandchildren
Education funding support
Charitable giving
Beneficiary designations and estate alignment
Conversations around values and long-term family goals
You’ve worked hard for what you’ve built. I make sure it flows where you intend — efficiently and thoughtfully.
