Who I serve

Pre-retirees: the runway matters more than you think.

The five years before you stop working are the highest-leverage years of your financial life.

What usually matters most

  • Stress-test your retirement plan against recession scenarios and longevity.

  • Build a tax-aware withdrawal sequence before you need it.

  • Evaluate Roth conversion windows in your remaining working years.

  • Decide when to claim Social Security based on your actual earnings record.

  • Get clear on Medicare, long-term care, and the years between retirement and 65.

How I help

The years right before retirement are unique: your income is probably peaking, your expenses may be dropping, and you still have tax levers to pull that disappear once you retire. I focus this window on decisions that compound for the next 25 years.

Common questions

I’m 5 years from retiring. Is it too late to plan?
It’s actually the best possible time. You have enough runway for Roth conversions, Social Security optimization, and withdrawal sequencing to make a real difference — but the window closes fast once you stop working.
What does working with you actually look like?
Most clients meet with me twice a year plus a quick check-in mid-year if something changes — a new job, a new baby, a windfall. Between meetings we’re reachable by email or phone.
How are you compensated?
I’ll walk through every fee and commission during our first meeting so you have a clear picture before you decide to engage.
