Process

If the state of your retirement plan is stressing you out, you’re far from alone. In our opinion, most retirement income strategies are all wrong and do not address retirees’ most significant concerns, such as making the money last, taxes, estate planning, or even the best time to draw social security. Whether or not your current plan works is too important to leave to chance. Maybe you’re frustrated with all the choices, financial jargon, and investment products. Perhaps it’s because you don’t know how much you need, how long it will last, and how to take what you’ve saved and convert it into a predictable stream of income over a period that could span years or decades. Retirement is a game-changer, and it requires a different strategy from your working years. We can help. You need a more definitive path – you need more predictable outcomes in your retirement plan focused on the things you can control. 

So, we have created a simple 3 step process to help get you started:

Our process synchronizes financial planning, investing, and advice to help you stay on track. Imagine entering retirement with a plan in place that tells you exactly where your desired cash flow is going to come from. It makes the transition to retirement less stressful. We also can take care of all the behind-the-scenes work and even direct deposit your retirement paycheck to your bank account as outlined in your plan.

We’ve simplified the retirement process for hundreds of families.
We want to help guide you to a more positive future.

Our services start with a simple phone call.

Let us help you find the way retirement should feel. Schedule an appointment today – and let’s discover what’s possible.

This one-of-a-kind analysis will show you, in plain and simple terms, where you stand today and whether you are doing enough to get to where you want to go.

From there, Kraus Capital Management can advise you on what can be done to optimize and simplify your financial situation and provide options on how to get things done.
