When should I start retirement planning?
The most valuable planning happens in the 10 to 20 years before retirement, while contribution and Roth decisions still have time to compound. It is also useful in the first retirement years, when withdrawals begin.
Do you manage my investments?
No. The firm provides tax-aware planning and coordinates with your investment advisor. If you do not have one, we can describe what to look for.
Can you help with required minimum distributions?
Yes. RMD timing, withholding, and qualified charitable distributions are part of the withdrawal planning work.
