How We Help Discover the tools and techniques that make up our financial planning armory.
The A.R.M.O.R. Approach
How fortified are your finances? The A.R.M.O.R. Approach, our battle-tested financial planning strategy, was designed to help equip you with a plan that not only protects but prospers. Here’s how it works:
We start by taking a detailed look at where you stand financially, mapping out your assets, liabilities, income and expenses to understand your starting point.
Next, we identify your short- and long-term financial goals. Understanding what you aim to achieve is crucial for crafting a strategy that aligns with your aspirations.
With your current situation and goals in hand, we explore various strategies and tools to bridge the gap, customizing a plan that fits your unique needs and preferences.
We then focus on ensuring your assets are efficiently working toward your goals, whether it involves reallocating investments, reducing taxes or enhancing savings strategies.
Financial planning is an ongoing process, not a one-time event. We commit to regularly reviewing your plan, making adjustments as needed to help navigate life’s changes — and create a retirement that’s worth heralding.
Strategies That Suit You
Our A.R.M.O.R. Approach connects the different areas of your financial life to create a strong, steady strategy, helping ensure you live a retirement you love.
Unlike the working years, where you’ve likely drawn a regular paycheck, at retirement it’s time to pay yourself. Are you ready to tap into your savings in a strategic way so that you continue to create an income stream you won’t outlive? We can help.
How you approach your financial planning today defines what your legacy to your loved ones will look like after you’re gone. We can help you understand and employ strategies to help ensure your assets are passed to those people or causes you love.
Whether you prefer to “set it and forget it,” or you want to more actively participate in your investments, we can help you design an investment strategy that matches your risk tolerance and goals. And we know that risk tolerance changes as life happens — so we plan for that, too.
Taxes can take a bigger bite out of your retirement income — or your legacy — than you may be expecting. We can help you develop tax-efficient strategies that fit your overall financial plan, so more of your hard-earned dollars go to you and your loved ones.
We can help you evaluate your current IRAs and 401(k)s to determine if a rollover is appropriate for your situation. Whether you’re looking to access the tax-advantaged options a Roth IRA provides, to consolidate accounts or to explore other savings avenues, we can help.
Annuities are financial tools that can help you create a stream of income that you can’t outlive. But today’s annuities aren’t like those of your parents or grandparents. There are many ways to tailor annuities to fit your needs. We’ll help you compare your options.
We offer a suite of services to affluent clients who are looking for a holistic approach to their financial future, all in one place. We’ll help you with comprehensive guidance to help reach the goals and dreams you’ve been envisioning.
Life insurance can play an important role in an overall financial strategy — both to protect yourself and your loved ones should the unthinkable happen and in some cases to help preserve your assets for future generations.
We keep our eyes on the horizon so you can enjoy your retirement. We’ll design a strategy to help you minimize risk: including the risks of market loss, inflation or liquidity (not having cash accessible when you need it).
When it comes to Social Security, the question isn’t when can you take your benefit, but when should you take it? We can help you answer that by examining withdrawal strategies that pertain to your specific situation.
