Question 1

Are taxes going to increase in retirement?

Accepted Answer

This is a fascinating question because it depends upon your unique situation. Many of our clients have found that their tax rates come down in retirement because their income is lower, or the way that their income is taxed is different. This presents some excellent financial planning opportunities that we can take advantage of. However, we are also aware that many people enjoy retirement for twenty or thirty years. This is a very long time, and we need to understand that potential tax increases during that time frame are likely. This also offers some unique financial planning opportunities that we work with our clients to solve. The good news is that good planning will win the day no matter if our tax rates are going up or down.

Question 2

I’m looking to simplify my life. Can you just do everything I need?

Accepted Answer

That is our goal! We offer a holistic and comprehensive experience as a team of professionals working on your behalf. Our clients are busy people who would rather spend time doing fun things in retirement than managing all of their financial affairs independently. Our extensive team of experts should handle any situation that arises, but we can also find additional resources if needed outside of our immediate network.

Question 3

Are you a fiduciary?

Accepted Answer

Yes! A fiduciary is an individual who acts in the best interest of a particular person or beneficiary. Fiduciary financial advisors must only buy and sell investments that are the best fit for their clients. Fiduciaries have a bond of trust with clients and must avoid conflicts of interest.

If you're going skydiving, it helps to know that your instructor has your best interest at heart. You trust that they'll ensure your parachute opens on time and that you land safely on the ground.

Working with a financial advisor may not be life or death, but they do hold the ripcord to your financial future. There's an ethical parachute some financial advisors abide by that helps ensure you stay safely on course: the fiduciary duty.

If you work with a fiduciary financial advisor, it means that they have your best interests at heart — but be careful because not all advisors do.

We are proud to uphold the fiduciary standard for our clients.
