Fee-only fiduciary retirement planning for Hawaii families with $1M–$5M, retiring within five years
Book an Intro CallRetiring well takes more than a portfolio. I connect income, investments, taxes, and estate planning into one retirement strategy — so your paycheck, portfolio, tax decisions, and legacy plan work together as life changes, and nothing falls through the cracks in the five years before retirement or the thirty years after.
Turn your savings into a monthly retirement paycheck — how much, when, and from which accounts
Decide when to claim Social Security and coordinate spousal and survivor benefits
Keep 1–2 years of spending in cash so market swings never dictate your lifestyle
Plan Required Minimum Distributions and adjust the paycheck as life changes
Build a low-cost, diversified portfolio designed around your retirement income needs
Right-size your investment risk so market swings don't derail your plan
Establish a clear investment strategy and target asset allocation you can stick with
Coordinate investments across taxable, tax-deferred, and Roth accounts for tax efficiency
Rebalance on a disciplined schedule to manage risk as markets move
Monitor performance and keep your portfolio aligned with your plan
Protect the next several years of withdrawals with a Market Protection Reserve and a written down-market action plan
Review every policy you own: life, disability, health, home, auto, and long-term care. I don't sell insurance or earn commissions, so my only incentive is recommending what's truly best for you
Ensure your will, trust, and powers of attorney reflect your current wishes, or help you put them in place for the first time
Think through the big decisions together: executors, trustees, guardians, trust provisions for children, and estate taxes
Connect you with vetted estate attorneys and insurance specialists when deeper expertise is needed
Decide when to claim Social Security — and coordinate spousal benefits — to maximize your lifetime income
Time Medicare enrollment correctly so you avoid late-enrollment penalties and coverage gaps
Manage your retirement income to reduce IRMAA surcharges on your Medicare premiums
Coordinate Social Security timing with withdrawals and Roth conversions so your benefits aren't taxed more than necessary
Bridge health insurance coverage if you retire before age 65
Model your claiming options side by side so you see the dollar impact of each choice before you decide
Look for opportunities to reduce your lifetime tax bill, not just this year's
Work alongside your CPA so tax planning and tax filing stay in sync
Sequence withdrawals, Roth conversions, and Social Security timing to keep you in lower tax brackets
Make full use of tax-advantaged accounts such as IRAs, Roth IRAs, HSAs, and small-business retirement plans
