Certus Wealth Management, together with your tax advisor, works to maximize your opportunities and better position you to achieve your financial goals. Through two-way strategic coordination, we implement tax strategies that optimize your financial plan.
Here are some ways that clients benefit from advisory coordination:
Tax Impact of Investments
By weighing the tax implications of investments, you can make informed decisions. Together, your tax advisor and financial advisor can strategize tax issues like Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) and potential taxation on Social Security.
Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs)
Considering your future goals and cash flow needs, your advisory team can help plan withdrawal strategies for clients in retirement and those needing to take RMDs.
Roth Conversions
With a comprehensive view of your financial plan, your advisors can help you reduce or defer taxes by determining whether it may be advantageous for you to convert funds from a Traditional IRA to a Roth IRA.
Tax Harvesting
It can be advantageous for your tax and financial advisors to communicate regarding intentions to sell investments. Annual tax liability can be managed by implementing various strategies, like offsetting an investment gain against losses.
Estate Planning
Your advisors can work collaboratively as estate taxes evolve, in order to implement strategies that can help minimize liabilities and ensure your assets are dispersed as you wish.
Gifting Strategies
Your tax advisor manages the tax implications of charitable contributions. Your financial advisor can help you proactively plan efficient gifting strategies that contribute to your overall financial plan.
Real Estate Decisions
Your goals may include real estate purchases or rentals. Working in lockstep, your tax and financial advisors can coordinate strategies related to the real estate portion of your portfolio.
Account Type Selection
Depending on your unique situation, certain types of qualified or non-qualified accounts provide investors with various protections and benefits that should be evaluated in accordance with your
financial goals. Working closely with a tax advisor affords you the opportunity to better navigate your financial situation.
