Financial Planning - Our process is driven by the goals you set before and after retirement. We will help you establish what the goals ought to be and about when they should occur. Then we will determine how to save toward the goals. This is very much a step-by-step process – not all goals will be accounted for in the first attempt. But by establishing a framework, we will have a tool in place that will drive your investment strategies for years to come. Our Asset & Data Questionnaire will help you pull together all your information in one place to start the planning process.

Investments - Once assets begin to build in your qualified and taxable accounts, we will help you establish a rational investment program that considers your risk tolerance and your financial goals. We will explain how asset allocation and diversification work and we will develop an Investment Policy Statement. Then, at your option, we will build for you a portfolio of investments that properly reflects your rules and risk appetite. Our Asset Allocation Questionnaire will help us determine your willingness to trade risk for return.

Insurance - An important part of a complete financial plan. It protects your heirs in the event of your death, and it can protect you in the event of a disability.

Our Fees – and a Word about Commissions


IRS was founded on the premise that avoiding the payment of excessive fees can add significantly to the accumulated wealth in a well-managed program. Many of these fees – asset management fees, wrap fees, fund loads - are obvious and well-disclosed. Other fees – custodial fees, administrative charges, 12(b)1 fees, and others – are less obvious and buried in management agreement fine print. Our fees are very straightforward:

  • $2,000 for a financial plan
  • Assets Under Management (AUM)

            Under $2,000,000: 1.0% of AUM;

            Over $2,000,000: Negotiable

  • Rate for special projects/consultations: $250/hour 

Commissions are earned only on insurance products. It is our philosophy that an understanding of insurance requires significant education and that once you have that understanding, you will be most comfortable purchasing insurance from your trusted advisor. Our underlying philosophy holds that proper levels of insurance are key to a successful financial program. Of course, you will always be free to purchase insurance from whomever you choose.
