Intro Call

Step 2:

Retirement Gap, Opportunity, & Snapshot

  • A review of your current retirement picture to identify key gaps, risks, and opportunities

  • Ability to test drive how our modeling software will give you answers to core questions including: Do you have enough? What spending is sustainable? How to fund retirement income tax efficiently. What return is required - and what risk does that imply?

  • A high-level retirement snapshot for clarity and direction - not a full retirement plan
