Retirement Planning
Retirement Planning is an important and often overlooked step for business owners. There is no government pension, no company sponsored 401(k) plan to subsidize your eventual retirement. Like everything else, it is your responsibility.
You can defer tax by investing in your own retirement plan. By saving money tax deferred you reduce your current tax bill and invest the money for your future. For most people, you will be in a lower tax bracket, paying less tax. When you take it out in retirement.
There are several different types of retirement plans you can start based on your needs. If you have employees, you are required to make a contribution for them in most cases. We can show you the after tax advantages of your available options.
