Our Services for You

Retirement Planning

Retirement planning shifts the focus from accumulating wealth to managing spending during retirement. This emphasis varies throughout different life stages, so collaborating with a trusted financial professional is vital for mapping out your long-term goals and adjusting your plan as life changes. We can help you

  • Build Wealth
  • Protect Your Principal
  • Create Reliable Income For A Secure & Fulfilling Retirement.

As you consider your retirement income sources—like qualified retirement plans, Social Security, and personal savings—it’s essential to estimate how much you’ll need. With longer life expectancies, planning for a stable and secure retirement with an intentional income plan has never been more crucial. Comprehensive financial planning strategies can result in powerful benefits for your overall financial picture.

Investment Management

The first step in developing an investment strategy is to evaluate your goals, whether you aim for a comfortable retirement, financial independence, or leaving a legacy. A well-formulated investment plan and portfolio should focus on your unique needs while considering the inherent risks of investing, including market volatility and inflation, which can erode the value of your money over time.

We collaborate with clients to create a robust investment plan that aligns with their objectives and risk tolerance. Key components include understanding time horizons for long-term success, managing risk while pursuing growth, and assessing how market downturns can impact recovery. By educating you on the risk-reward relationship of investments, we can help you build a sound portfolio tailored to your goals.

Income Planning

Retirement introduces new financial challenges, primarily the loss of employment income as you shift from accumulating wealth to spending and distribution. Effective income planning becomes essential to safeguard your nest egg during this transition.

When planning for retirement income, we focus on key questions, such as how much you can withdraw annually without risking depletion, how to align your investments with market risks and income needs, and strategies to protect your assets from inflation and market downturns. Additionally, we help you determine the best time to collect Social Security benefits, ensuring you have a comprehensive strategy for drawing income from your investments for a successful retirement. By working with our team, you can receive a personalized retirement income planning projection that can serve as a guide to keep you on track.

Tax Planning

Taxes can be one of the most significant expenses over a lifetime, yet tax planning is often overlooked in financial strategies. Unlike tax preparation, which focuses on past documents like W-2s and 1099s, tax planning looks ahead and can greatly impact your retirement.

Given the rising U.S. deficit and uncertainties in the tax system, effective tax planning is essential. Key areas of focus include:

  • Utilizing a Roth IRA
  • Minimizing taxes on investments
  • Understanding Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs)
  • Evaluating the benefits of converting IRA dollars to Roth IRA dollars
  • Timing distributions from retirement accounts

At True Financial Partners, we collaborate with you and your tax professional to assess the short-term and long-term effects of taxes on your retirement plan.

Medicare Planning

Becoming Medicare eligible can raise many daunting questions, such as:

  • What does Medicare cover?
  • What does it not cover?
  • When can I enroll?
  • Should I choose a Medicare Supplement or Medicare Advantage Plan?

We prepare you for these important, time-sensitive decisions through a structured process:

EDUCATE: We simplify Medicare’s complexities, ensuring you understand coverage and costs.

COMPARE OPTIONS: We provide options from top companies, helping you decide between Medicare Supplement and Medicare Advantage plans, including prescription coverage.

PLAN: With time-sensitive enrollment windows, we help you map out what to do and when.

ENROLL & MONITOR: : As you approach your 65th birthday, we’ll have everything ready and continue to monitor your situation for any necessary adjustments.

Social Security Strategies

When and how you collect your Social Security benefits can significantly affect your retirement. With over 100 ways for spouses to collect benefits, the best choice for you may differ from others.

Our goal is to help you maximize your lifetime benefits. While we can’t predict your lifespan, we consider key questions:

  • Can you afford to delay benefits past your full retirement age?
  • How might spousal benefit strategies impact your decision?
  • How will your strategy affect your taxes?
  • Will delaying benefits strain your current income?

At True Financial Partners, we’ll assess your needs and educate you on Social Security strategies that fit your situation.

Estate & Legacy Planning

At True Financial Partners, we view estate and legacy planning as essential to a solid financial plan. A well-constructed estate plan protects you during your lifetime and determines how your assets will be handled after your passing. It designates who will manage your affairs and make important medical decisions if you are unable to do so.

We help clients navigate common estate planning questions and challenges, including the differences between wills and trusts, common mistakes in planning, and whether a trust is necessary. We also address the IRA tax implications related to your estate. Whether you already have an estate plan or are just starting, we collaborate with you and your legal professionals to create a legacy plan aligned with your goals.

Insurance Planning

If the death of a spouse or family member causes a financial hardship, life insurance needs to be considered. Not everyone needs life insurance, but everyone needs to know about life insurance and consider if it is important for their plan. Life insurance can create financial stability when a loved one is lost. It also plays a role with estate and legacy planning.  There are important questions to ask yourself when determining if life insurance is: vital, nice to have, or not necessary, and we can help you answer those questions. If life insurance is necessary, we work with you to determine which type of life insurance is the best fit for your specific goals and needs.
