Your final working years
Before you leave work
Stress-test your spending, benefits, equity compensation, cash reserves and the timing of your exit.
The move from saving to spending changes everything. We help you connect your retirement income, taxes, Social Security, investments and legacy. That way, each decision supports the life you're ready to enjoy.
Your income, investments, taxes, Social Security, and legacy all influence one another. Explore how these decisions fit together to create a more thoughtful retirement plan.
RETIREMENT INCOME
Cash, taxable investments, traditional IRAs and Roth accounts may each have different tax consequences. Withdrawal order needs to support your spending, preserve flexibility and work with your investment strategy.
If retirement is on the horizon or already underway, let's talk about what matters most to you and which decisions deserve attention first.
The years before and after leaving work often bring your most important retirement decisions.
Your final working years
Stress-test your spending, benefits, equity compensation, cash reserves and the timing of your exit.
When your income changes
Coordinate withdrawals, Roth conversions, healthcare and when to begin Social Security.
When benefits and RMDs arrive
Review Medicare costs, required distributions, charitable giving, survivor plans and evolving priorities.
There isn't a magic tax bracket that works for everyone. Explore the questions we use to frame a thoughtful Roth conversion strategy.
The lowest lifetime tax bill is not always the best result. Before discussing conversion brackets, clarify your spending needs, legacy wishes and how comfortable you are paying taxes today.
Compare your current tax bracket with expected future income from Social Security, pensions and RMDs. The years after leaving work can offer opportunities, but the window differs for every household.
Conversions can influence Medicare IRMAA premiums, Social Security taxation, capital gains, health-insurance subsidies and what your surviving spouse may pay later.
Test different conversion amounts against doing none. Account for how you will pay the tax, the drag on taxable assets and the value of future Roth flexibility.
