Roth conversions are one of the topics that come up typically towards the end of the year because they can be one of the most powerful wealth building actions you can take; if you fit into the right circumstances.
You won't often hear about this strategy from accountants, as their attention is focused on reducing your taxes every year, rather then long term tax reducing strategies like this.
This strategy of paying taxes now with the hope of paying less taxes later can be very beneficial when planning financials in the long term.
Click the link in our bio to watch a quick video on how to implement this strategy and perhaps save lots of money!

As we come to year end, you'll likely hear a lot of advisors (like myself) encouraging you to evaluate Roth Conversions for your financial plan.

This video explains Roth Conversions and why they can be such a powerful wealth building activity, if you fall into the right tax bracket and income trajectory!

Always coordinate with your tax professional. I've been on the phone with a dozen accountants the last few weeks getting the support team on the same page to ensure the strategy makes sense for our clients' situation BEFORE moving forward.

Hope this video helps!

Should you save in a 401(k) or an IRA in 2021?

In this article with Acorns I discuss, why not both?

We cover, the power of the employer match and the flexibility benefits of the Roth!

Invest in both types of retirement accounts, IRAs and 401(k)s, to harness the advantages that each one offers.
