Planning That Matches Where You Actually Are
You've spent decades building. Now the questions change. Instead of "how do I save more," it's "do I have enough, and how do I make it last?" We focus on the decisions that matter most in the years right before and right after you stop working.
Answer the "Can I Retire?" Question
Replace uncertainty with a clear picture of when you can retire, how much you can spend, and what your income will look like year by year. No more wondering if the number is enough.
Build a Retirement Income Strategy
Turn your 401(k), IRAs, and taxable accounts into a reliable paycheck. We coordinate which accounts to draw from and when, so your money lasts and your tax bill stays manageable.
Time Social Security Wisely
The difference between claiming at 62, 67, or 70 can be six figures over your lifetime. We help you weigh the tradeoffs based on your health, marital situation, and other income sources.
Plan for Healthcare Before and After Medicare
Retiring before 65 raises questions most people aren't prepared for. We help you bridge the gap, understand Medicare enrollment, and plan for long-term care costs that can derail a solid retirement.
Reduce Taxes in the Years That Matter Most
The window between retirement and required minimum distributions is often the best tax-planning opportunity of your life. Roth conversions, capital gains harvesting, and withdrawal sequencing can save you significantly — if you act in time.
Protect Against the Risks That Matter Now
A market downturn in your first few retirement years is far more damaging than one in your 40s. We structure your portfolio to manage sequence-of-returns risk so a bad year doesn't become a lasting problem.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you have any other questions, please email us.
Am I too close to retirement to start working with an advisor?
No — the years right before retirement are often when advice creates the most value. Decisions about when to retire, when to claim Social Security, how to handle your 401(k), and how to structure withdrawals all compound over the rest of your life. There’s meaningful work to do whether you’re five years out or six months out.
How do you decide when I can actually retire?
We build a full picture of your income needs, assets, Social Security, pensions, and expected expenses — then stress-test it against different market, inflation, and longevity scenarios. You’ll get a clear answer, not a vague “you’re probably fine.”
Should I be doing Roth conversions?
Often yes, but it depends on your current tax bracket, expected future bracket, and the size of your pre-tax accounts. For many pre-retirees, the years between retirement and age 73 are the single best tax-planning window they’ll ever have. We model it out so you can see the tradeoff in real dollars.
What happens if the market drops right when I retire?
This is one of the biggest retirement risks, and it’s one we plan for directly. By structuring your portfolio with the right mix of stable income sources and growth assets — and by adjusting withdrawal strategy when needed — we reduce the impact of a bad early year on your long-term security.
How do I handle healthcare if I retire before 65?
We walk you through the realistic options — ACA marketplace plans, COBRA, spousal coverage, or part-time work with benefits — and factor the cost into your retirement income plan so it doesn’t come as a surprise.
What’s the transition like if I’m already working with someone?
Straightforward. We handle the paperwork, coordinate account transfers, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks. Most clients are surprised how smooth it is.
