```
Working Together
What types of clients do you typically work with?
We primarily work with individuals, families, retirees, business owners, professionals, and public employees who value ongoing financial guidance and long-term planning relationships.
Do I need to move my accounts to work with you?
Not necessarily. Some clients choose investment management services, while others engage us through Private Financial Planning Services and keep certain accounts where they currently reside.
What if I already work with another advisor?
Many prospective clients begin by seeking a second opinion. We can review your current strategy, help identify potential blind spots, and discuss whether additional planning may be appropriate.
Retirement Planning
How do I know if I am ready to retire?
Retirement readiness involves much more than a portfolio balance. We help evaluate income needs, Social Security, taxes, healthcare costs, investment strategy, risk exposure, and other factors that may impact retirement confidence.
How much can I safely spend in retirement?
The answer depends on your assets, income sources, goals, time horizon, and overall financial situation. We help clients develop retirement income strategies based on their specific circumstances.
What is an Income Confidence Floor?
An Income Confidence Floor is our planning framework for identifying essential retirement expenses such as housing, food, utilities, transportation, and healthcare, then evaluating dependable resources available to support those needs.
Specialized Planning
Do you work with Florida Retirement System and DROP participants?
Yes. We help Florida public employees evaluate pension decisions, DROP opportunities, retirement timing, investment strategy, and income planning.
Do you work with Publix associates?
Yes. We help Publix associates evaluate retirement readiness, company stock concentration, diversification considerations, tax issues, and long-term financial planning.
Can you help business owners?
Yes. Business owners often face planning challenges involving retirement plans, taxes, succession planning, liquidity events, business protection, and personal wealth management.
Investments
How are investment recommendations made?
Investment recommendations are based on each client’s goals, risk tolerance, time horizon, income needs, tax considerations, and broader financial circumstances.
Do you believe financial planning or investments are more important?
Both matter. However, we believe investment decisions should support a comprehensive financial plan rather than drive it.
How often will we meet?
Meeting frequency depends on the complexity of your situation and the services being provided. Some clients meet annually, while others benefit from more frequent planning conversations and ongoing guidance.
