Whether we do detailed planning or you just want to ask some questions, you'll be better informed. Figure out when you can retire, what you're on track for, how much you can spend, when to take Social Security, how to invest your retirement nest egg, and more. We generally take stock of your resources like Social Security or pension income, plus any assets earmarked for retirement. Then, we review your projected spending, including potential changes to spending over time. All the while, we keep taxes, investment returns, inflation, and other factors vetted-of-mind. And we can run various what-if scenarios to take an optimistic or pessimistic view—or just explore possibilities. How do we work together? It's your choice: Do it yourself, or have me handle your investments—you are not required to transfer assets or invest any minimum amount. Options include flat-fee or one-time project work, asset management, and other arrangements. You can choose a model that meets your needs and feels right for you. Get a second set of eyes, ask a few questions online, get a quick investment review, or go with an ongoing relationship. With that information, you can make informed decisions. Can you retire early? How much can you spend after taxes? Does it make sense to pursue strategies like Roth IRA conversions (to avoid IRMAA surcharges and manage taxes)? Are annuities worth looking at, and should you keep the products somebody else sold you? When it comes to investing, I favor a simple approach. Portfolios and recommendations are primarily index-based, consisting of mutual funds or ETFs. I do not receive any commissions for selling products, and I'm not a fan of active trading or picking individual stocks.

Frequently asked questions

What is Sam's List?

Sam's List is a curated directory of vetted financial professionals including accountants, CPAs, financial advisors, bookkeepers, and fractional CFOs. We help business owners and high net worth individuals find the right professional through verified reviews, detailed profiles, and a matching quiz that connects you with professionals based on your needs, industry, and financial profile.

How does Sam's List vet the professionals on the platform?

Every professional on Sam's List goes through a review process before being listed. We review their credentials, confirm they are actively practicing, and monitor their client reviews over time. Unlike directories that let anyone pay to be listed, we maintain quality standards so the professionals you see are legitimate and reputable.

Are the reviews on Sam's List real?

Yes. Every review on Sam's List is submitted by someone who has interacted with that firm. We do not allow firms to remove negative reviews or manipulate their ratings. Every reviewer must authenticate through LinkedIn, Google, or Twitter before submitting a review. No anonymous reviews are allowed.

How is Sam's List different from other financial professional directories?

Most other platforms take 5-10% of your annual contract when you hire a firm through them, sometimes in perpetuity. Sam's List takes zero referral fees and zero commissions. Our reviews are verified through social authentication and cannot be removed by the firm, and our matching quiz recommends professionals based on your specific situation rather than who paid the most for visibility.

Does it cost anything to use Sam's List?

No. Sam's List is completely free for anyone searching for a financial professional. You can browse profiles, read reviews, take the matching quiz, and contact professionals at no cost.
