We offer a variety of services customized for each client
Your specific goals determine services and products
We are an independent firm located in Overland Park, Kansas. We are committed to always working in the client’s best interest and helping them understand how managing assets today can build a better future.
Financial and Wealth Planning
Once we know your goals, and we know the current state of your finances, we can make recommendations and create a plan for you. There are usually many paths to reaching your goal. We can help you discover the pros and cons of each to develop a comprehensive wealth management plan.
Investment Management
Aligning portfolio allocations with risk tolerances to help ensure you’re comfortable with wealth management choices is always the first step. After that, constant monitoring, review and assessment gives us the right information to stay the course or course-correct if needed.
Portfolio Management
Financial and retirement assets can be held in a variety of accounts, each with its own level of complexity and maintenance. We can help make sure all of your accounts are in sync and handle the ongoing monitoring and adjustment required.
Retirement Income Planning
We believe an enjoyable and lasting retirement depends on having a stable retirement income. After looking at your unique financial situation, we aim to design a retirement plan that helps you create an income you won’t outlive—one that maximizes the value of your assets and preserves a legacy.
Estate and Legacy Planning
Legacy planning can be an emotional and complex series of decisions. If you want to leave your assets to heirs, a charity, or want to develop a business succession plan, we can help design a strategy to accomplish this goal.
Tax Strategies
Taxes will always be a part of life. We can review your assets and see if strategies to reduce taxes might apply in your situation. Every dollar saved today can work for you in retirement.
Insurance
People often talk about insurance as “protection,” but it’s really a form of risk mitigation. It ensures that, no matter what twists and turns come with life, clients have a safety net in place. Whether it’s life, long-term care, disability, or an annuity – insurance can provide resources when most needed.
Social Security Maximization
Choosing when and how to draw Social Security can be a tough decision. Factors including marriage status, can impact your options. We can help you navigate the possibilities, so you get the most from your hard-earned benefits.
Workplace Benefits and Pension Maximization
It can be difficult to know how your benefits and pension will align with other assets and Social Security in retirement. It’s important to review what’s in place and see if all income streams will work together to support your goals. We also help business owners with various strategies for employee benefit options.
