A one-time Look at your retirement

For those clients nearing retirement or recently retired, my one-time financial planning offering includes a focused retirement plan review. This engagement is designed to provide a clear, independent second opinion on retirement readiness and the key decisions that come with making the transition. This service is ideal for those who have relied on simple calculators or used DIY planning software and want an independent check on their assumptions and conclusions. I recreate the analysis from scratch to validate the projections and identify any gaps or risks before you move forward. Comprehensive planning deserves comprehensive analysis. This engagement does not include ongoing or ad hoc advice following delivery of the plan.

Arden Process

Intro Call

Set up a 30 min call to see if we would be a mutual fit. Bring your questions and basic financial documents to this meeting.

Goals and Data Meeting

This meeting informs what your initial recommendations will be. This typically runs 60-90 mins.

Plan Presentation

We will review my assumptions and findings, including: a retirement stress test, a sustainable spending figure, a tax-efficient withdrawal strategy with Roth conversions, Social Security election strategy and an ideal retirement portfolio.

Following the Plan

After the plan is delivered, you’ll receive a one-page action plan along with the supporting analysis. You’re welcome to return at any time for a plan update or a tax projection as your situation evolves.
