WHAT WE DO
By working with a retirement professional at SHARP ADVISORS, you can feel more confident about the future. Working with individuals and families in all stages of retirement planning, we offer a wide array of services, including:
Income Planning
Income planning is a critical element of a solid retirement strategy. A major financial goal is to have a consistent and reliable stream of income that will last throughout your retirement. We help clients address critical questions, such as how to shift from retirement savings to retirement income, how to estimate monthly income, and how to prepare your assets to potentially last a lifetime.
Investments and Asset Management
Many clients transitioning into retirement are focused more on managing and preserving their wealth and less on their comfort level with risk. We focus on your goals, objectives, time horizons, and risk tolerance. Then we craft an individualized retirement plan to your specific needs for income and future expenses.
Benefits Plan Optimization
Executive compensation packages and employee benefit plans offered through your employer are a great way to save for retirement. However, selecting the best investment options and maximizing contributions can cause uncertainty. We can help you understand how your retirement plan works and how to potentially optimize benefits as well as coordinate your plans with your other retirement and investment strategies to pursue your retirement goals and objectives.
Social Security
As clients approach retirement, many have a number of questions regarding Social Security. How much will my income benefit be? How do I maximize my benefits? When should I begin taking Social Security? We understand the complexities of Social Security and have the resources to address our clients’ questions.

Insurance
As individuals age, the need for insurance changes. Products like life insurance, long-term care insurance, and annuities, both fixed and variable, are ways individuals can protect their family and assets. With so many available programs and plans, we help clients determine an appropriate solution.
Estate Planning
Many individuals, couples, and families don’t just want to make their assets last for their lifetimes; they want to leave a legacy for their heirs. However, the financial side of estate planning is often overlooked and can have a significant impact on one's family. We can assist clients in articulating their estate planning needs and coordinate the work of other professionals who may be needed, including attorneys and CPAs.

While developing a customized financial program, we walk you through a step-by-step process designed to help you feel confident in your decisions. We’ll provide you with a complete and accurate assessment of where you are today and what you need to do to reach your retirement goals.
