We Offer Services Built for Any Life Stage

box-1

Young Accumulators

Young Accumulators are typically between the ages of 25 and 35, beginning to establish themselves in their careers, and have a desire to set a solid financial foundation. Often referred to as HENRYs (High Earners, Not Rich Yet), Young Accumulators may be seeking assistance with evaluating their employee benefits suite and retirement plan investment options. Various insurance needs, debt reduction assistance and/or consulting associated with the purchase of a home are all typical planning needs of Young Accumulators.
box-2

Professionals

Professionals are typically between the ages of 35 and 55, own a home and are established in their profession. As their net worth continues to grow, evaluating their employee benefits suite and retirement plan investment options is also deemed important. College education funding and retirement income planning are paramount. Various risk management areas are evaluated, including obtaining the proper amount of life and disability insurance.
box-3

Pre-Retirees/Retirees

Pre-Retiree is typically between the ages of 55-65, nearing the end of their accumulation phase, and interested in laying the groundwork for a coordinated retirement income plan. Attempting to put away as much money as possible while insulating their nest egg from an ill-timed market pullback are top priorities.

Retiree is typically aged 60+, migrating into the principal preservation and income generation phases, and seeking the confidence a coordinated and dynamic retirement income plan can provide. Developing a Social Security optimization strategy, coordinating required minimum distributions, and ensuring estate planning is in order are all important to a retiree.

Both pre-retirees and retirees seek to insulate their assets from the costs associated with potential long term care needs.

box-4

Business Owners

While the age of Business Owners can vary widely, their needs are often very similar. In addition to the basic financial planning needs of a Professional, the Business Owner needs assistance in evaluating, installing and monitoring a robust suite of employee benefits and retirement plans designed to attract, retain and reward employees. Business Owners also have unique liability and insurance needs. Finally, partnerships bring their own set of challenges, including protecting against the financial loss associated with the death or disability of an owner or key employee.

Helping to Build Your Financial Home

Just like building your dream home requires an architect and a contractor with a blueprint, building the financial home of your dreams requires a qualified advisor and a comprehensive financial plan. And just like an architect learns exactly what type of home you envision, we take the time to understand your personal circumstances before developing your customized plan.

And, of course, this “financial dream home” also needs to be professionally maintained, periodically updated and always kept fresh. We’ll continue to watch over the plan, anticipate strategic changes and guide you along the way.

Sailing and Rowing

We believe the protection of what you have and the generation of income needs two sets of strategies.

Markets go up, and markets go down. Sometimes it's smooth sailing, while other times the waters are choppy. Prepare for both.

Lifetime Income Model

A major risk retirees face is having a big market pullback at the same time they are withdrawing their "retirement paycheck." A strategy-driven approach that utilizes time to help mitigate risk allows our clients to gain confidence as they navigate through their retirement.

Orion

Orion gives you a holistic view of your finances, helps you keep track of your financial goals and your progress toward them — whether you're at home, at work or on the go.

‘Navigating the Turbulent Waters of Investment Planning’
