Retirement isn't an age. It's a number.

We help you find yours — then build the savings, income, and Social Security strategy to reach it with confidence.

What we do

From accumulation to income — the whole arc.

Saving is only half the discipline. The other half is turning what you've saved into a paycheck that lasts as long as you do.

  • 401(k) plan design and administration support for business owners
  • Rollovers and consolidation when you change jobs or retire
  • Social Security and pension maximization — timing the claim is worth real money
  • Retirement income strategy: sequencing withdrawals, managing the risk of bad early years
  • Annuities where guaranteed income belongs in the plan

Common questions

Asked across our desk

When should I start collecting Social Security?

You can claim as early as 62 or as late as 70 — and every year you wait increases the monthly benefit. The right answer depends on health, other income, spousal benefits, and taxes. A maximization analysis often finds five figures of lifetime difference between claiming strategies.

What happens to my 401(k) when I leave a job?

You generally have four options: leave it, roll it to the new employer's plan, roll it to an IRA, or cash out — the last usually costing taxes and penalties. We help weigh fees, investment options, and your timeline before anything moves.

What is "sequence of returns" risk?

Two retirees can earn identical average returns and end up in very different places, depending on when the bad years land. Losses early in retirement, while you're withdrawing, do disproportionate damage. Income planning exists precisely to defuse this.

I own a business. Can you set up our 401(k)?

Yes — plan design is one of the most requested things we do. Matching formulas, vesting schedules, safe-harbor provisions, and employee education, built to fit the size and payroll rhythm of your company.
