Getting You To and Through Retirement
Retirement planning is like climbing a mountain — the ascent represents the accumulation phase, where you build wealth during your working years, while the descent represents the distribution phase, navigating the complexities of living comfortably in retirement.
At Merit Advisors, we’re here to help guide you every step of the way. Our comprehensive services provide the guidance you need to efficiently help grow your wealth as you climb and manage it wisely as you descend. We’re committed to helping you reach your retirement goals and enjoy the confidence and clarity that come with a well-planned financial future.

Unlike the working years, when you’ve likely drawn a regular paycheck, at retirement, it’s time to pay yourself. Are you ready to tap into your savings in a strategic way so that you continue to create an income stream you won’t outlive? We can help.
How you approach your financial planning today defines what your legacy to your loved ones will look like after you’re gone. We can help you understand and employ strategies to help ensure your assets are passed to those people or causes you love.
Whether you prefer to “set it and forget it,” or you want to more actively participate in your investments, we can help you design an investment strategy that matches your risk tolerance and goals. And we know that risk tolerance changes as life happens — so we plan for that, too.
Taxes can take a bigger bite out of your retirement income — or your legacy — than you may be expecting. We can help you develop tax-efficient strategies that fit your overall financial plan, so more of your hard-earned dollars go to you and your loved ones.
We can help you evaluate your current IRAs and 401(k)s to determine if a rollover is appropriate for your situation. Whether you’re looking to access the tax-advantaged options a Roth IRA provides, to consolidate accounts or to explore other savings avenues, we can help.
Annuities are financial tools that can help you create a stream of income that you can’t outlive. But today’s annuities aren’t like those of your parents or grandparents. There are many ways to tailor annuities to fit your needs. We’ll help you compare your options.
We offer a suite of services to affluent clients who are looking for a holistic approach to their financial future, all in one place. We’ll help you with comprehensive guidance to help reach the goals and dreams you’ve been envisioning.
Life insurance can play an important role in an overall financial strategy — both to protect yourself and your loved ones should the unthinkable happen and, in some cases, to help preserve your assets for future generations.
We keep our eyes on the horizon so you can enjoy your retirement. We’ll design a strategy to help you minimize risk, including the risks of market loss, inflation or liquidity (not having cash accessible when you need it).
