Retirement Transitions

OUR EXPERTISE

For more than 20 years, Waite Financial Group has been guiding individuals to and through retirement, and we take great pride in helping our clients gain financial peace of mind so they can focus their attention on the people and causes they love.

We understand the uncertainties you may feel as you approach this major life milestone, and it’s normal to wonder if you are fully aware of your options. In fact, without a guide to provide perspective and a tangible plan for getting to retirement, many individuals will retire lacking the peace of mind to fully enjoy their "golden years."

While many financial advisors will confirm your ability to retire, we take retirement planning a step further by helping you fully understand your financial capacity. We don't want you to wake up with regret later in life because you didn’t fully enjoy your resources while you were healthy and able. That’s why we coach and encourage our clients to spend their resources, give generously, and live out their legacy—and this is something they regularly thank us for.
