Their retirement income planning focuses on determining the monthly income required to live comfortably in retirement, maximizing employer-sponsored plans and IRAs, applying tax-efficient strategies, consolidating accounts for a clear view of assets, and designing income plans that last a lifetime. Investment planning work includes assessing risk tolerance, setting asset allocation, recommending vehicles for both qualified and non-qualified accounts, and aligning portfolios with intermediate and long-term objectives. Insurance planning involves reviewing existing coverage, identifying gaps, recommending policy adjustments, and helping clients secure appropriate protection. Estate planning services support the orderly transfer of assets to heirs.

The office sits on Gateway Drive, near Pepperell Parkway, and roughly a third of a mile from East Alabama Medical Center.
