Financial & Retirement Planning
Lear & Pannepacker, LLP understands the importance of financial and retirement planning – whether you’re just beginning your career, close to retirement, or already retired, our team of financial planning experts are here to help you develop a personalized plan to suit the needs of your unique financial situation. Proper retirement or life cycle planning will provide security for you and your family’s future, while our knowledge of the variety of available retirement plans will allow you to create an advantageous tax situation now and for years to come. The key to successful planning is an understanding of your current financial situation, projecting your future needs, and developing a plan to make sure those needs are met.
Tax rules regarding retirement plans are complex, as each plan has specific requirements and stipulations outlined by the IRS. Certain plans are not accessible to everyone depending on their income or age, while others may require withdrawals at a certain age. Some plans are taxed at retirement, while others are tax free. It’s important to understand the implications of your planning choices. At Lear & Pannepacker, we will:
