Where our clients live
A large share of the people we work with are in Atlantic Highlands itself or a short drive away in Highlands, Middletown, North Middletown and Port Monmouth. Plenty more reach us from Red Bank, Rumson, Fair Haven, Little Silver, Fairview and Monmouth Beach. Live a bit beyond those towns? That works as well, since a good deal of our work is done over the phone or on video.
Your town does not change how we begin. First we listen to what you own, what concerns you and what you want your money to accomplish over the coming five, ten or thirty years. Then the conversation can turn to retirement planning, investment management, legacy planning or tax management, whichever suits you. No decisions are made at the first meeting. You walk away seeing things more clearly, with room to think.
Local factors that often shape a plan
- 01
A meeting format you choose
Some people want their statements laid out on our office table. Others prefer sharing a screen on an evening video call, or settling a quick question on the phone. We go with the format that keeps you at ease and part of the work, and you can change formats at any point as the plan develops.
- 02
State income tax and property taxes
New Jersey residents pay a state income tax, and property taxes take a real bite out of what most individuals, couples and retirees keep each year. Both go into your financial plan, along with how the timing of income and retirement withdrawals can change your bill. Your accountant keeps preparing the return; we help you shape the year so filing time brings fewer surprises.
- 03
Leaving assets to family
The state's estate tax is gone, yet New Jersey still charges an inheritance tax that depends on who inherits. Spouses and children are treated one way, siblings, nieces and nephews another. In legacy planning we check beneficiaries and account titles well ahead, so your family is not left untangling it.
- 04
Choosing where to retire
Plenty of Monmouth County retirees are torn between staying close to family and moving somewhere less expensive. We spell out how each path could affect your income, your taxes and your savings over time, so you decide with numbers you can follow.
- 05
Owners planning to step away
For many local business owners, the company holds most of what they are worth. We work with you on retirement savings, insurance and a future sale or transfer years before it happens.
Start with a conversation
Tell us a little about where you are and what you are hoping for. Our first step together is an introductory meeting, and you can choose the setting: across the table at our office, on a video call, or simply by phone, whatever suits your week.
