Questions
I already have HR helping me with my retirement paperwork, what additional services can you provide?

We are not affiliated with any government agency and are therefore not restricted by the same limitations. This means that in addition to being experts on the federal system, we are able to help federal employees strategize, plan, and execute what is best for their unique situation.
Our knowledge and strategies stem from the information provided by official government sources.
While developing financial plans for our clients, we help map out the best possible strategies to accomplish their goals. In some cases, there are opportunities to invest in a more optimal way. Whether these recommendations involve insurance products or ongoing asset management, we could earn either a commission or an advisory fee.
