WHY ECHELON FINANCIAL?
Coordinated Tax and Investment Planning
Unlike many advisors, we are able to offer clients both tax and investment advice. Many brokerage firms prohibit their representatives from giving tax advice.
What is the value of a colorful report if it ignores the huge impact of taxes on your income and investments during retirement? If it were literature, you could call it a fairly tale.
The Vanguard research paper ‘Putting Value on your value: Quantifying Vanguard Advisor’s Alpha‘ states that the potential value add of tax planning can add “up to 1.10%”
That’s why it’s invaluable to work with an independent firm that combines a CPA firm and Fiduciary Investment Planning to minimize taxes and grow your wealth.
Remember the adage “It’s not only what you make, but also how much you keep?” It’s even more important when you are retired!
Retirement Success = Spending it all every single month

HOW IMPORTANT IS PLANNING
The challenges Americans will face in retirement are no secret. Taxes, Market Volatility, Health Care Costs, Longevity/Survivor Benefits. So why do so many advisors gloss over or even avoid these issues?
Any “plan” or colorful income projection that does not account for taxes, market volatility, health care costs, and longevity/surviving spouse is a Fairy tale. And if you fail to plan, we all know there is no knight in shining armor that is coming to save you.
Evidence Based Planning / Academic Research
We leverage real world data and Academic Research to identify spending patterns, life cycles, and other data to address the key issues that retirees face so that we have a plan in place for how to deal with these important issues.
