What We Do

Financial Guidance for Life

Retirement & Financial Strategies serves clients through every phase — from building wealth to protecting it, and from the transition into retirement through a lifetime of income.

The Three Phases

Wherever You Are, We Can Meet You There

Our firm was built around the understanding that financial needs evolve — and that great advisors walk alongside clients through every stage.

Evan and Emma Goetz, CFP® professionals
01

Accumulation

Your working years are where wealth is built. We help you invest wisely, manage risk appropriately, and stay on track toward the retirement you envision.

02

Transition

The years approaching retirement are among the most consequential. We help clients navigate Social Security timing, pension decisions, 401(k) rollovers, and the shift from accumulation to income distribution.

03

Retirement Income

Once you've stopped working, the challenge becomes making your money last. We design sustainable income strategies, manage withdrawal sequencing, and protect against longevity and market risk.

Our Services

A Full Suite of Planning Services

Every client is different. We bring a comprehensive set of capabilities to meet your needs — now and as they evolve.

We provide disciplined, personalized portfolio management aligned to your specific goals, time horizon, and risk tolerance. Your portfolio is actively monitored and rebalanced as market conditions and your life circumstances change.

  • Asset allocation strategy tailored to your goals
  • Ongoing portfolio monitoring and rebalancing
  • Risk assessment and management
  • Investment performance review

Financial planning goes beyond investments. We look at your full financial picture — savings rates, debt, tax considerations, cash flow, insurance coverage, and long-term goals — and build a roadmap to get you where you want to go.

  • Goal setting and financial roadmap development
  • Cash flow and savings analysis
  • Tax planning considerations
  • 401(k) and employer plan strategy
  • Debt management guidance

Planning for retirement requires coordinating many moving parts. We help clients determine how much they need, when they can retire, and how to structure income sources to sustain their lifestyle with confidence.

  • Retirement income projections
  • Social Security optimization
  • Pension payout analysis
  • 401(k) and IRA rollover planning
  • Withdrawal sequencing strategy

A sound financial plan must account for the unexpected. We analyze your insurance coverage and identify gaps — whether in life insurance, long-term care, or other protections — so your family is never left exposed.

  • Life insurance needs analysis
  • Long-term care planning
  • Coverage gap identification
  • Risk tolerance assessment

Insurance is one of the most overlooked components of a comprehensive financial plan — and one of the most consequential. We help clients evaluate their life insurance coverage and long-term care needs with objectivity and care, ensuring the right protections are in place before they're ever needed.

  • Life insurance needs analysis and coverage review
  • Term vs. permanent insurance evaluation
  • Long-term care insurance planning and policy review
  • Income replacement and survivor benefit analysis
  • Coordination with overall financial and estate plan

Taxes are one of the largest expenses most people will face over their lifetime — and one of the most manageable with the right strategy. While we work in close coordination with your tax professionals and do not provide tax or legal advice, we integrate tax-aware thinking into every dimension of your financial plan.

From optimizing retirement account contributions to structuring withdrawals in the most tax-efficient sequence, our goal is to ensure you keep more of what you earn and what you save.

  • Tax-efficient investment strategies and asset location
  • Roth conversion analysis and timing
  • Tax-efficient withdrawal sequencing in retirement
  • Required minimum distribution (RMD) planning
  • Coordination with your CPA or tax advisor
  • Capital gains management and tax-loss harvesting considerations
  • Charitable giving strategies for tax efficiency

Your legacy matters. We help clients think through the eventual transfer of their assets to loved ones or charitable causes — ensuring your wishes are reflected in your overall financial plan.

  • Beneficiary designation review
  • Estate planning coordination with legal counsel
  • Asset transfer strategy
  • Charitable giving considerations
