INCOME TAX PLANNING

Our first financial planning initiative is to understand our clients tax situation and the impact that income tax will have on their financial plan. At EntryPoint, we work with business owners, independent consultants, and employees so we understand the unique tax planning situations that exist for each of these individuals.

Our goal is that through our partnership, we can find certain tax strategies to implement that will better your tax situation and help you achieve more.

COMPLEX TAX SITUATIONS

We are also well versed in highly complex tax planning where we are helping our clients to achieve multiple objectives at the same time. When helping clients retire, we sometimes use 401k specific rules that will benefit their situation such as the 55-year rule and NUA. (Net Unrealized Appreciation, Frank Duke Method) We have helped clients sell property and defer capital gain taxes through 1031 exchanges.

We also consult with highly compensation executives to navigate their corporate benefit structures helping them to get the most benefit from their Equity Incentive and Deferred Compensation plans.

WORKING TOWARDS RETIREMENT

Working towards retirement is a common goal that every investor we work with was trying to achieve at one time. There are many questions in this goal: How much should you save? How should you invest? What accounts should you save in? We start with our clients creating a retirement plan in our financial planning software to establish a baseline.

Year over year, we adjust this plan, targeted savings amounts, and your investment assets to help you achieve your desired retirement date.

LIVING IN RETIREMENT

Hopefully, with any luck, we will all have an opportunity to enjoy “Living in Retirement.” Our process for working with clients in retirement is to provide confidence on your plan, help you recreate your paycheck, and enable you to pursue your passions. Additionally, we review Social Security elections, Medicare options and taxes, Pension Elections, and other complex retirement decisions.

LIFE PLANNING

You have aspirations and goals that you want to achieve, we believe that it is our role to create a dynamic relationship helping you to achieve these objectives. We hope that through our partnership and conversations, we provide an uncovering of your true ambitions and passions.

LEGACY PLANNING

We use various Estate Planning strategies to ensure that your legacy is transitioned as to your wishes and accomplishes your chosen impact for your future generations and other causes requires preparation and attention.
