Financial Planning For Executives Between 55 and 65 Coordinating the Decade Before Retirement.
Between 55 and 65, your tax, estate, and retirement decisions stop being separate. §72(t) distributions, Roth conversions, capital gains harvesting, Medicare timing, and Social Security claiming all share the same calendar, and most advisors solve them one at a time. I solve them together.
Trusted Partners:
You are worried, do I have all of this right?
You’ve been saving, investing, checking all the boxes. But you still have questions. Do I have everything in place? Have I set myself up and my family for long term success? I wish I could talk to someone that cared about me.
"My CPA, my attorney, and my advisor all give me good advice. Nobody's looking at the whole picture."
Most advisors treat the ten years before Medicare as two separate problems. I treat them as one coordinated decision: tax, estate, and retirement planned together, not handed to specialists in isolation.
"I have concentrated stock and equity comp. I don't know how to unwind it without a huge tax hit."
Concentration didn't build overnight, and it shouldn't unwind overnight either. Sequencing the exit across the decade (using low-bracket years, the 0% capital gains window, and coordinated tax timing) changes what it costs you.
"I don't know if I'm making the most of my last working decade before retirement."
§72(t) distributions, Roth conversions, IRMAA timing, and Social Security claiming all share the same calendar. Most advisors solve them one at a time, as you encounter them. That's usually too late for the first few.

- 01.Are We A Fit?
Understand Your Coordinated Decade.
We map where you stand in the 55-to-65 window and which decisions: Roth conversions, concentrated stock, IRMAA timing, and more which are approaching important milestones.
- 02.Are We A Fit?
Integrate All the Levers.
Tax timing, capital gains harvesting, Roth conversions, and Medicare premium coordination, all sequenced together, not decided one at a time. It is a "coordinated" campaign.
- 03.Are We A Fit?
