When John came to us three years ago, he had recently retired as a Major General from the U.S. Army and was preparing for his next chapter in life. While he had an impressive career leading complex operations and managing large teams, he was now facing an entirely different challenge—navigating his financial future in civilian life.

After sitting down with John, we quickly identified several key areas that needed attention. His military pension provided a stable foundation, but he had multiple investment accounts scattered across different institutions, making it difficult to track his overall financial picture. Additionally, he was considering consulting opportunities and board positions, which would create new income streams and tax implications. Lastly, he wanted to ensure his estate and charitable giving plans aligned with his long-term goals.

First, we consolidated his investment accounts into a streamlined portfolio that reflected his risk tolerance and income needs. Next, we developed a tax-efficient strategy to manage his new consulting income while maximizing his military benefits. Finally, we helped him structure a long-term estate and philanthropy plan, allowing him to support causes he cares about while preserving his legacy for his family.

Today, John is thriving in his post-military career. He sits on the boards of several organizations, mentors young leaders, and enjoys the freedom of financial security. Whether he’s traveling with his family or advising the next generation of military and business leaders, he has peace of mind knowing his financial future is in good hands.
