Let's Talk Investments!
We feature attorneys who specialize in elder law, EA (enrolled agent) and tax advisers to help you make sense of complicated tax matters, insurance professionals to help you to manage your risk, and investment advisor representatives to pull it all together and help you better plan for a successful retirement.
Financial Planning
Too often, “financial planning” is reduced to simply investing for maximum returns with little regard to risk. We believe that without clear expectations and specific goals to help track progress investors ultimately take on more market risk than necessary.

What is a Fiduciary?
A fiduciary is a person or organization that acts on behalf of another person or persons to manage assets. Essentially, a fiduciary owes to the other entity (you) the duties of good faith and trust. The highest legal duty of one party to another, being a fiduciary requires being bound ethically to act in the other’s best interests. Learn more about what it is a Fiduciary does on Investopedia.
ANNUITIES
Annuities are popular financial products issued by insurance companies that allow for the tax-deferred growth of assets. In fact, annuities are a great option for expanding your tax-deferred earnings when you are already taking full advantage of your available 401(k) and IRA options. Another great advantage of annuities is that you can receive guaranteed income for life or a set period of time. We can help you to find the right balance between investments and annuities to achieve your retirement and income goals.
TAX ADVISERS & TAX PREPARATION
TradeWell offers a full suite of tax services designed to meet your personal or small business needs. Most tax preparation firms only prepare your taxes and report what happened last year. We like to refer to those firms as historians. We look for ways for you to pay less in both federal and state taxes.
Investment Management
401(k) Rollovers
If you’re getting close to retirement, it’s a great time for us to review your current 401(k) and recommend a rollover strategy that’s customized to meet your retirement goals. Dealing with 401(k) rollovers is one of our areas of expertise and we could help you find significant tax savings in the process!
