Approaching Retirement?
We offer complimentary consultations for federal employees within one year of retirement.
You will meet with one of our FERS experienced advisors to discuss your entire Federal Benefits Package, your current situation, and future goals. Our team will then prepare your Federal Benefits Review report, which will estimate your retirement net pay, as well as your TSP analysis. On your second meeting, your advisor will review the reports with you, answer any questions you may have, and help establish your Next Steps. Please see the video below for more details.
If you are further out from this next season of life but want to make sure you are on track to achieve your goals, we would still love to meet with you! Please see our FAQ at the bottom of this page.
