Retirement Income Projections You Can Rely On
A projection starts with your actual accounts, planned spending, Social Security, pension income, inflation, healthcare costs, and any part-time work. We test the plan against market swings and a longer life.
The numbers should answer you.

We examine volatility, inflation, sequence-of-returns risk, and a longer-than-expected retirement.
Made for your stage
Pre-retirees five to ten years out and current retirees need different decisions. We account for that.
02 / Benefit coordination
Social Security and Pension Coordination
Timing changes the shape of your income. We map the options before you file or elect a benefit.
Social Security planning
We compare claiming ages, earnings records, marital status, spousal benefits, and survivor income.

Pension planning
A lump sum and an annuity solve different problems. We compare payment security, flexibility, taxes, and survivor choices.

Pensions, benefits, portfolio withdrawals, and part-time earnings should work together month by month.
Household cash flow
03 / Account decisions
401(k), IRA, and 457(b) Strategy
The account with the largest balance isn't automatically the first account to use. We set an order that considers taxes, required distributions, Roth conversions, and the income your household needs.
401(k) rollover advice
Review fees, investment choices, creditor protections, and the tax effect before moving an old workplace account.
Roth conversion timing
Use lower-income years thoughtfully and account for current taxes, future brackets, and Medicare-related thresholds.
457(b) decisions
Public-sector employees get a withdrawal plan that respects the special rules of a 457(b) account.

03Roth assets and legacy reserves
The order changes when taxes, RMDs, charitable giving, or an inheritance goal changes. A plan should be able to move.
04 / The cost of care
Healthcare, Medicare, and HSA Planning
Healthcare can change a retirement budget quickly. We place Medicare timing, HSA use, supplemental coverage, and long-term-care decisions inside the income plan.
Medicare timing
Plan enrollment windows and coverage choices around your retirement date, employer coverage, and expected income.
ENROLLMENT + COVERAGE
HSA strategy
Coordinate contributions and qualified withdrawals so healthcare savings support the wider retirement plan.
SAVINGS + WITHDRAWALS
Long-term care
Assess insurance, self-funding, family preferences, and the effect of care costs on an inheritance goal.
CARE + LEGACY
05 / Preserve the plan
Withdrawal Sequencing That Preserves Your Wealth
A withdrawal plan decides which account pays first, how much income is needed, and when a tax bill is worth accepting. It also leaves room for your family and charitable goals.
Order matters.
01
Fund planned spending
Use the right mix of taxable savings and income sources for your monthly needs.
02
Manage RMDs and taxes
Required Minimum Distributions can affect taxes and Medicare costs. Prepare before the deadline.
03
Protect against bad timing
Keep a cash-flow reserve and adjust withdrawals when markets or spending change.
04
Keep legacy goals visible
Coordinate Roth assets, beneficiary choices, and gifts with the income you need today.
