About Us

As a firm, our focus is to understand your financial goals and, together, develop strategies to help you reach them. Our success only comes with that of our clients’. Our core competency is tax-free retirement planning.

 

Our Philosophy

We believe what Henry David Thoreau said, that “Wealth is the ability to fully experience life.” The most important things in life are not on your account statements. However, proper strategies certainly can help in being able to more fully experience life. Predominantly, we aim to help clients limit exposure to market volatility, and, where possible, create tax-free retirement strategies. Less friction in your retirement accounts likely means more reliable and longer lasting income.

 

Our Process

Our visit together is a strategy session where we learn about your objectives—your “why”—and you learn about us as a firm. We strive to identity the risks, opportunities, and strengths in your retirement income picture. In the time between our next visit, we create an income strategy that we feel best serves you. That strategy is presented at our second visit. After that, any fine tuning is done prior to implementation. We are committed to the strategy’s success, and will monitor your progress regularly.

We believe in your success. This is what we do.

Our Services

There are many approaches to achieving your retirement income goals. 
Choosing the right path for you begins with our dedication and commitment to your objectives.

 

Tax-Free Retirement Planning

Retirement planning today has taken on many new dimensions that never had to be considered by earlier generations, especially with the risk of rising taxes over time. The biggest risk to the longevity of your money is the all-but-certain future increase of taxes.

 

Retirement Income Planning

Utilizing correct vehicles is essential to helping your money last as long as you do. Many retirement strategies are focused solely on accumulation and can be poor income producing vehicles during retirement.

 

Asset Protection Planning

Proper retirement planning considers all forms of creditors, not just those that might come from a legal action or outstanding debt. Investment markets, taxes, and long-term care costs can all be creditors to your retirement savings, posing individual risks.

When Should You Claim Your Social Security?

Submitted by Axios Capital Strategies on February 4th, 2021

When to claim your social security benefits is a strategic and vital consideration. Unfortunately, the good folks at your local social security administration office are likely to be of little help. Not only are they not trained in claiming strategies to help you maximize your benefits, but they are also not allowed to advise you on the best way to claim.
