There’s a lot to think about as retirement gets closer. Your investments, income, risk, and making sure the pieces work together for what comes next.

We especially love one part of Susan’s testimonial: she’s recommended her own children to SMB. 💚 That kind of trust means so much to our team.

We’re grateful to be part of Susan’s financial journey as she looks ahead to retirement and the years beyond.

Roth conversions, capital gains, charitable giving… are you making the most of your tax planning opportunities before December 31st?

Year-end tax planning is a big part of what we're working on behind the scenes right now!

We're reviewing Roth conversion opportunities, looking for tax-loss harvesting opportunities, talking through charitable giving strategies, and checking for other moves that might make sense before the year is over.

And yes, we're talking with your CPA too!

The thing about tax planning? Some of the most important conversations happen before tax season, not during it.

There's a lot more that goes into managing your finances than just picking investments.

Year-end tax planning? Yep, we do that too! 💚

What happens to your investments between meetings? 👀

Quite a bit, actually.

Every quarter, our team reviews the investments we use across client portfolios. Looking at performance, risk, expenses, strategy, and whether each investment is still doing the job we selected it to do.

We also look at the bigger picture, from interest rates and inflation to market conditions, to determine whether any portfolio changes are warranted.

Sometimes that means making a change. Sometimes it means staying the course. Either way, there’s a thoughtful process happening behind the scenes.

Our latest blog gives you a peek into that process and the work happening between your meetings with us.

62, 67, or 70? When should you start taking Social Security?

It's one of the biggest questions people have as they approach retirement, and the answer isn't always straightforward.

We're hosting a webinar with Stuart Ritter, CFP®, Insights Director at T. Rowe Price, to break down the Social Security decisions that matter most.

We'll cover:
✔️ Common Social Security misconceptions
✔️ How your retirement benefits actually work
✔️ Spousal and survivor benefits
✔️ Why timing matters when deciding when to claim

📅 Tuesday, November 17th
🕕 6:00 PM
💻 Webinar

Whether retirement is right around the corner or still a few years away, this is a conversation worth having.

Our November Book Club pick is here! 🍂

This month, we’re reading Summer Island by Kristin Hannah
A heartfelt story about family, forgiveness, second chances, and the complicated relationships between mothers and daughters.

When years of distance and unresolved feelings bring a mother and daughter back together, they’re forced to revisit the past, uncover long-held secrets, and figure out whether some relationships are worth fighting for. 🤍

We can’t wait to cozy up with this one and hear what everyone thinks!

October is the perfect time to take charge of your financial future! ✨

Creating a solid plan can feel overwhelming, but that’s where we come in. Here are some of the top reasons clients turn to us for financial planning:

✅ They have discretionary income but need guidance on how much to save, where to contribute, and how to invest.
✅ They don’t have time to research, we provide education and help them make informed decisions.
✅ They value the expertise of working with a professional.
✅ They want accountability, friendly emails, gentle nudges, and check-in calls to stay on track.

Sound like you? Let’s start planning together! 💬
