A retirement you don't have to second-guess.
Leverage Planning is a virtual-first retirement income planning firm that helps pre-retirees and retirees build a reliable income foundation while coordinating taxes, Medicare, and estate planning around it. We give you one plan, one point of contact, and confidence your retirement can weather any market.
The questions that keep pre-retirees up at 2 a.m.
"How do I replace my paycheck with something I can count on every single month?"
"What happens to our income if the market drops 30% the year after I retire?"
"Can I build a retirement where my essential expenses are covered no matter what?"
"Will I have to go back to work if there's another 2008?"
"Am I paying $40,000 more in taxes because nobody's coordinating my withdrawals with my income plan?"
"Does my advisor have a plan for my income, or just my investments?"
If those questions sound familiar, you're not behind. You're at the point where retirement planning becomes real, and where the difference between a portfolio and an income plan changes everything.
Your complete retirement plan, fully coordinated.
Most firms start with a portfolio. We start with your income. How much do you need each month? How much of that can you count on regardless of what markets do? Once the income plan is set, we coordinate your tax strategy, estate plan, and Medicare around it — and work alongside your investment professional, not instead of them.
Tax Planning
Roth conversion timing, IRMAA thresholds, and multi-year tax strategy — modeled with you and coordinated with your CPA, to protect your income and keep more of it.
ExploreEstate Planning
Beneficiary alignment, titling, coordinated with your estate attorney. A living discipline, not a one-time document.
ExploreMedicare Planning
Enrollment timing, plan selection, annual reviews, and healthcare costs modeled inside your plan, not next to it.
ExploreA clear process, from the first call to the ongoing plan.
The first call is a conversation, not a pitch. Everything that follows is designed so you always know the next step, and why it matters.
Discovery Meeting
A complete discovery conversation about your goals and concerns. We review where you stand on income, taxes, healthcare, and legacy.
Income Gap Review & Mutual Commitment
Diagnostic of your retirement income: monthly need, what's guaranteed, Social Security timing, and the gaps. We both decide whether to move forward.
Plan Review & Implementation
Construction of your full plan: income, taxes, healthcare, and legacy, plus the advanced planning your situation calls for. Walked through together until every piece fits.
Client Experience & Onboarding
We put the plan to work. Review accounts and statements, set the regular review rhythm, and implement the advanced planning that takes longer to put in place.
Why retirees choose us.
Four things that separate us from the advisor you're currently leaving, and from every firm you've already ruled out.
One team. One plan.
You stop juggling specialists. Income, taxes, estate, and Medicare, coordinated by the same team, inside a single plan that actually agrees with itself.
Planning first. Products second.
We build the plan first. If specific tools are needed, they serve the plan, not the other way around. We describe services in outcomes, never in products.
Everything in writing.
Every recommendation explained in plain English, with how we're paid disclosed before you decide anything. Your plan is a document you keep, not a pitch you have to remember.
Virtual-first, not impersonal.
Meet your planner from your living room, without losing the relationship. You'll know our names, and we'll know yours, your kids', and what matters to you.
The people behind your plan.
One team built around a single coordinated plan. You'll meet them on your first call, and they'll stay your team.
