Meet Eric, a self-employed physical therapist in Omaha. He had $68,900 saved across a checking account, a brokerage account he hadn’t touched in a year, and a 403(b) from a former employer. He wasn’t sure how to invest or what he was working toward—he just knew he wanted more direction.
Here’s how we helped:
Defined clear financial targets
We helped Eric outline his top three goals: buying a larger home in five years, retiring by 60, and maintaining flexibility to reduce hours by age 50.
Consolidated and rebalanced his accounts
We rolled over his 403(b), reorganized his brokerage holdings into a more diversified, tax-efficient mix, and aligned it all to a single, personalized strategy.
Set up monthly automated contributions
Eric now contributes $1,000/month to a SEP IRA and $500/month to a taxable account—automatically, with no guesswork.
Integrated tax planning
We worked with our CPA team to optimize contribution timing and reduce his 2024 tax liability by $3,980.
Built a visual, trackable progress dashboard
Eric now sees exactly how his savings and investments are trending toward his home and retirement goals—with quarterly check-ins to adjust as needed.
Results:
- Investment value grew by 11.4% in 12 months
- Down payment fund reached $35,400 ahead of schedule
- Eric now feels focused, consistent, and in control of his money
“Before, my savings just sat there. Now every dollar has a job—and I finally know where I’m headed.”
