In our first meeting, we’ll focus on your goals, dreams, and concerns. Together, we’ll explore your financial situation and create a plan tailored to your needs.
We’ll provide a 30,000-foot view of your financial landscape — your savings, investments, and goals—giving you a clear and simple understanding of where you stand and how to move forward.
With your personalized plan in place, we’ll take the necessary steps to align your investments and savings, setting you on a clear path toward your retirement goals.
Your retirement plan adapts as your life changes. We’ll provide continuous support with income, tax, investment, and healthcare planning, ensuring you stay on track. Plus, we’ll help secure your legacy for future generations.
With our ClarityToProsper™ process, we help you structure a personalized retirement plan that’s designed to make your investments last as long as you do, with strategies designed to protect and grow your wealth throughout retirement.
Our ClarityToProsper™ process includes a step-by-step approach: from discovery sessions, detailed financial assessments, and plan implementation to ongoing support and legacy planning, so you always know where you stand.
It’s never too early to start planning, but ideally, you should begin at least five years before you retire. We primarily work with clients aged 50 plus to help them prepare and create a roadmap for a comfortable and secure retirement.
It depends on your specific situation. We’ll help you evaluate your options and decide whether keeping your 401(k), rolling it into an IRA, or exploring other options is best for your financial future.
We guide you through the best strategies to claim your Social Security benefits, ensuring you maximize your payout based on your unique financial situation and retirement goals.
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but generally, having at least $500,000 in investible assets is a good starting point. We’ll work with you to create a personalized plan based on your goals and current financial standing.
Our team specializes in reducing your tax burden by implementing tax-efficient withdrawal strategies, Roth conversions, and other personalized approaches to keep more of your money in retirement.
Our team will review your portfolio and suggest adjustments to ensure your investments align with your risk tolerance and retirement timeline, giving you peace of mind about your future.
We offer comprehensive legacy planning, including our LegacyMax™ service, to ensure your estate is passed on smoothly and tax-efficiently to your beneficiaries, with all documents organized and secure.
We recommend reviewing your plan at least once a year or when major life changes occur. We provide regular reviews and updates to keep your plan on track and aligned with your evolving needs.
Retirement Advocates has served me well. For 8 years now they have been attentive to my sometimes rather complex investment management needs. Maria offered me a multitude of suggestions and has made me aware of several investment options. My portfolio has grown in value such that I can retire worry free anytime I so desire. Goodness, so so happy now.
We have worked with Maria for several years and really love the personal touch she puts into our investing strategies. She makes everything click for us. We have recommended her to several friends and now our daughter is working with her too. Thanks for all you do for us Maria.
I am so happy I found such a great investor at Retirement Advocates with Maria. Maria is so professional, personal and really considers what is best for each individual. I do not regret having her manage all my investments. Give her company a chance and you won’t regret it!!!!!!
Retirement Advocates, and Maria Fleiss have been managing investments for my wife Terry and I, for 6-7 years, she has done a great job making sure she takes care of our best interests, and that we understand the information. She is usually available if we have any questions, and always returns phone call promptly. We recommend to friends and relatives every chance we get. She's great 👍
We've been working w Maria for several years now and find her to be friendly and helpful and absolutely professional! We continue to meet with her to evaluate our situation and make changes as needed. Thanks Maria.
Maria helped my Uncle Ralph - he really appreciated that and talked very highly of her (said she was smart, professional, friendly, and really calm - (if you knew him, you would know that last part was a very real talent)).
My wife and I have known Maria (the owner of Retirement Advocates) for about 10 years now. She helped us generate a retirement savings that allowed me to retire at 63 and we could not be happier. Retirement Advocates has provided excellent advice to get us here and continues to provide advice on future retirement decisions.
Maria helped me tremendously with my retirement. I will never be able to thank her enough for the guidance she provided.
