Life is complex and often messy. Financial challenges and opportunities are no different. We offer a wide range of planning services in order to provide you with what we believe to be life-changing advice and wealth management solutions. We take a methodical, thorough approach to everything we do in order to prepare you for life's messy events and to help you make sound financial decisions.

Financial Planning & Analysis

Here at RFS, our hard working financial planners will help you sort through life's financial complexities and develop a truly customized and holistic plan that suits your needs and circumstances. With our fee-only approach to Financial Analysis, you can sit down with one of our reps to fully examine your current assets, taxes, retirement plans, Social Security, pensions, life insurance, etc. Our Financial Analysis services do not require us to manage your assets. Our compensation is a predetermined amount, established in advance. Under these services, we'll help you address and find best-fit solutions for questions like

  • Are my investments on track for meeting my goals on time?
  • How can I simultaneously work toward my short-, intermediate-, and long-term goals?

Investment Planning

The investment advisors at RFS take a holistic approach to investment planning. We take a step back to look at the bigger picture by helping you develop what we call your Investment Policy Statement. This personal statement empowers you to clearly see and understand the allocation of your assets before they are invested, develop a blueprint for how future dollars will be incorporated and how liquidations should occur, and provide greater accountability and reduce the guesswork on your advisor's part. Not only will we help you manage your assets according to your preferences, but we'll also address questions like

  • Are my investments working hard enough?
  • What investment principles and strategies are most appropriate for my situation and goals?

Retirement Planning

Through our fee-based Retirement Planning services, we can help you determine when retirement is feasible, changes that need to be made to make it feasible on your preferred timeline, or how to prioritize your retirement goals to maximize the resources you have. Effective retirement planning involves so many complex factors and variables, but under our Retirement Planning services, we'll help you ask for and find solutions for key retirement questions, such as

  • When can I retire?
  • Could I retire early?
  • Will I have enough money in retirement to last throughout my life expectancy?

Income Planning

When you leave or retire from a company where you've invested in a retirement plan or have a pension plan, you'll face many pressing questions. Ramsier Financial's investment advisors specialize in IRA rollovers and helping set up income distributions and tax withholding, but are also well versed in how best to take Social Security and/or pension distributions. For teachers and other public employees do you take a PLOP, DROP or other lump sum option? RFS advisors can answer those questions along with how to set up required minimum distributions and how best to take distributions that help minimize the tax implications of a withdrawal. For scattered assets, we offer investment asset consolidation and streamlined planning, which can eliminate some needless fees and provide a more complete picture of your financial portfolio. We'll help you answer key questions surrounding your retirement or pension plan, including

  • What do I do with my 401(k) when I leave the company or retire?
  • How soon will I need monthly income from this plan?
  • How much can I take and not run out of money over my lifetime?
