    Give Clients a Map for the Bumpy Road of Retirement Income Planning

    We don’t have to tell you that your retired clients need your advice. For retirees or those planning on retiring in the next few years, the success of their retirement income strategy can depend on their road map. The wrong road map can lead to lost value, avoidable taxes, and even a financially unstable future. Navigating retirement income planning can be a complex process, and it’s easy for retirees to make mistakes or miss opportunities. They need your advice on when exactly to begin collecting Social Security benefits, which retirement income accounts to withdraw from (and when), and how to manage their retirement income strategy. However, enlisting the help of a trusted and experienced financial advisor is a huge decision for many retirees who think they can do it fine on their own. But you know that a financial advisor adds significant value for generating retirement income plans. Help make the decision easy — offer clients a road map for retirement income planning.

    To Convert or Not To Convert: Roth Conversion Software to Keep on Your Radar

    As more Americans prepare for retirement, the role of a financial advisor has become more crucial than ever. Multiple retirement income streams, unexpected shifts in the stock market, ever-changing tax laws, and more make the retirement income planning process confusing. Savvy financial advisors understand that an effective retirement income strategy helps clients sidestep undesirable tax situations, so they hold onto more of their hard-earned money. One of these strategies is the Roth conversion, the conversion of a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA. Roth conversions can help clients reduce their tax obligations in the short term while lowering the total amount of taxes they’ll be required to pay in the long term when they retire. Let’s dig into the benefits of Roth conversions for your clients and the advantages of high-quality financial planning software for you and your practice.
