We think about retirement for much of our adult lives, but we rarely think about how we will meet our retirement goals as we approach those golden years. Planning for a great financial future starts with understanding gaps in our plan.
Head into the next few years with a plan that carves out the right path to help you meet those retirement dreams. Your retirement should be the time to enjoy life, not to stress about living.
This COMPLIMENTARY QUIZ is available to help you identify what could be your #1 retirement mistake. Click the link below to receive a customized report and suggestions for actionable next steps.
You want a personalized plan for your retirement
You value exceptional service and expect high-level attention and care
You want to feel confident and prepared for your retirement
You want to minimize your tax exposure
You want assistance with the distribution phase of retirement
You want to work with people you can trust
We believe that, while investments are important, they’re just a PIECE of the type of plan that helps you tackle your bucket list in retirement. In fact, we believe so strongly that clients are being underserved by advisors who lack a comprehensive approach, we’ve developed a proprietary framework and planning process for addressing the FIVE key worlds to a robust, flexible financial plan: Taxes, Income, Investments, Legacy, and Health Care.
Our proprietary planning process is your playbook to winning in retirement.
Beginning a relationship with an advisor is a big step and INCREDIBLY exciting. But, the way we see it, RELATIONSHIP is the key word. Every single one of our client relationships is built on the foundation of trust, mutual respect, and alignment.
So, instead of coming in with the goal of making any decisions about your investments, and in an effort to protect YOUR time, we will focus on ONE Decision: If we see opportunities to help you, do we want to continue the conversation? If so, our team will get to work on building the framework for your Retirement Gameplan.
Rome wasn’t built in a day. This conversation will provide clarity on how our strategy can elevate what’s possible for you, your family, and your goals. We like to simplify the process as much as possible.
Using what you’ve shared, and where we see opportunities, we will provide you with a draft of your customized “BAM Retirement Gameplan.” From there we will have just ONE more item to discuss: “Do we want to work together to bring this plan to life?”
At this point, most clients tell us that they feel RELIEVED and EXCITED about what their gameplan looks like. In advance of our third meeting, our planning team will have already put in up to 30 hours of work assessing your risk, fees, and creating recommendations to finalize your Retirement Gameplan.” This is when things get really fun – we begin to implement the plan.
The fourth and final meeting for onboarding in the BAMFam is where we deliver your plan, set the cadence for the rest of the relationship, and CELEBRATE the first day of the rest of your lives.
Leveraging strategies like Tax Mitigation and Roth Conversations can help you divorce the IRS over time. Tax planning is one of the best parts of our job and the number one reason why people work with us.
So, you’ve been saving for retirement. Now what? Working with BAM means having a clear plan for recreating that predictable, reliable income. Let’s make it happen.
BAM can bring it all together. Our financial planning services include:
Our teams’ investment knowledge is robust. With you we can tackle:
With our in-depth knowledge of Social Security and Medicare, we can help you decide when is the right time to start drawing your benefits. We can maximize your benefits, coordinate them with your spouse’s and help you fill any gaps in your retirement income.
Finding the right insurance and financial tools can minimize health care costs. BAM has a long standing reputation of helping individuals find the right insurance for their custom retirement plan.
Regardless of whether you want to leave your assets to your heirs, donate to charity, or develop a succession plan for your business, we can design a strategy that ensures that your life’s successes are shared with the right people.
Our clients will tell you to that every single interaction, relationship, and retirement plan is built on the foundation of a family – with care, support, and love. From our family to yours, you deserve it.
