Your taxes are important more than one day a year

You want to make the most of your resources and that includes maximizing tax efficiency. That’s why we take a tax-aware approach to financial planning. Because tax laws are intricate and ever-changing, we collaborate with you and your accountant or CPA to help mitigate the effect taxes can have on your finances.

To begin, we can help you optimize the use of tax-deferred investment vehicles such as IRAs and 401(k) plans. Depending on your goals and needs, we can also recommend investments that are tax-exempt or especially tax-efficient when it comes to providing yield and predictable cash flow. Aligning your specific goals and risk tolerance with investments that fit your needs can help you pursue your goals, whether you’re seeking to sell your business or create a retirement income strategy. As part of your consultative team, we can help you take advantage of the opportunities available.

Please note: Changes in tax laws or regulations may occur at any time and, as financial advisors of Raymond James, we do not render advice on tax or legal matters. You should discuss any tax or legal matters with the appropriate professional.

*The Forbes ranking of Best-In-State Wealth Advisors, developed by SHOOK Research, is based on an algorithm of qualitative criteria, mostly gained through telephone and in-person due diligence interviews, and quantitative data. Those advisors that are considered have a minimum of seven years of experience, and the algorithm weights factors like revenue trends, assets under management, compliance records, industry experience and those that encompass best practices in their practices and approach to working with clients. Portfolio performance is not a criteria due to varying client objectives and lack of audited data. Out of approximately 32,000 nominations, more than 4,000 advisors received the award. This ranking is not indicative of an advisor’s future performance, is not an endorsement, and may not be representative of an individual client’s experience. Neither Raymond James nor any of its financial advisors or RIA firms pay a fee in exchange for this award/rating. Raymond James is not affiliated with Forbes or Shook Research, LLC.

*In a fee-based account clients pay a quarterly fee, based on the level of assets in the account, for the services of a financial advisor as part of an advisory relationship. In deciding to pay a fee rather than commissions, clients should understand that the fee may be higher than a commission alternative during periods of lower trading. Advisory fees are in addition to the internal expenses charged by mutual funds and other investment company securities. To the extent that clients intend to hold these securities, the internal expenses should be included when evaluating the costs of a fee-based account. Clients should periodically re-evaluate whether the use of an asset-based fee continues to be appropriate in servicing their needs. A list of additional considerations, as well as the fee schedule, is available in the firm's Form ADV Part II as well as the client agreement.
