Our Ideal Client
I believe a good Advisor/Client relationship starts with mutual values and goals. Do any of these apply to you?:
You have many questions about your retirement scenarios, such as when to take Social Security, how long your asset pool may last, tax efficient withdrawal strategies, and how to fund your long-term care
You have a complex situation such as owning a business, executive compensation, or blended family situation
A "Passion for Striving" toward a well-rounded and long-term view of retirement is important to you
You're done with high AUM fees
You are willing to pay for fiduciary financial advice, not products with high commissions and AUM fees
If any of those apply to you, an on-going relationship with us as a Fiduciary Financial Advisor may be of value to you!
