15-Minute Call
The very first step is a 15-minute phone call with our team.
Your Get S.M.A.R.T. Retirement
Schedule A Call
A 15-minute phone call will give us both a chance to make sure your situation matches our experience. After all, you wouldn’t see a Cardiologist if you needed foot surgery.
If we aren’t the right financial planning firm to help you, we will happily point you to the right professional for your unique needs.
Meet
Like a doctor, it's important to diagnose before we prescribe. The next step is meeting (because of the pandemic we are currently using Zoom). During this one-hour meeting, we will get to know you better. Your goals, your needs and your concerns.
Analyze
We will apply over 20 years of experience to answer three critical questions for you:
- Are you on track to pursue your best retirement?
- How can you potentially reduce the taxes you pay?
- How can your investments be improved?
Review Assessment
After completing your analysis, we will have a second meeting (because of the pandemic we are currently using Zoom) to review our findings and recommendations.
In plain English, we will explain exactly what needs to be done to move closer to pursuing your best retirement. We will also answer the three critical questions.
At the end of this meeting, we will ask if you would like to begin working with us or if you would like think about it.
Think About It
We are looking for long-term client relationships, not a quick transaction. It’s important that you take as much time as needed to make a decision.
To help you make an informed decision, answer these questions:
- Do I know, like and trust the Carolina Retirement Planners team?
- Does their investment approach make sense? Will their be a plan to help me pursue my best retirement?
- We will follow-up within a few days to determine how you would like to move forward.
We know we’re not the right fit for everybody. If you decide that we aren’t the retirement planners for you, we will not take it personally. There is never a hard-sell or pressure to say yes.
Here We Go
We are truly honored to be working with you. Before the fun begins, we will regroup to answer any outstanding questions and set expectations for becoming a new member of the Carolina Retirement Planners family.

| Q |
Can you meet virtually with people in other states? |
Yes! While many of our clients are in the Carolinas, we work with retirement savers all over the United States. Our firm is equipped to meet with clients and potential clients through the video conferencing software, Zoom. Each virtual meeting is protected by a complex, unique password and we adhere to the strict security guidelines necessary to protect your privacy.
| Q |
Do you offer an hourly or one-time project fee option? |
Our process is designed to work with people looking for a long-term relationship. Currently, our firm is not equipped to offer an hourly fee schedule or a one-time project fee option. If you need help locating a financial planner who offers these fee options, send us an email and we will do our best to get you in the right hands.
| Q |
How Are You Different? |
There are three really important things about our firm that separate us from others:
- All we do is retirement planning. We are retirement professionals with a simple goal of making sure you don’t run out of money.
- Rather than dealing with just 1 or 2 aspects, we look at ALL aspects with "5-Part S.M.A.R.T Retirement Navigator" and take a holistic approach to help you pursue your best retirement.
- Retirement can be complicated. We invest in industry-leading technology to integrate your income, investments, taxes, health care and legacy too.
| Q |
Why Should I Consider Hiring Carolina Retirement Planners? |
Great question! But first, let us explain why you shouldn’t hire us.
If you’re looking for an advisor who will trade stocks to "beat the market," you’re in the wrong place. Why? Because we only focus on what you can control. Predicting if the stock market will go up or down, or guessing what interest rates will do next, are not things you can control.
But if you’re interested in things like lowering your tax bill, investing smarter, and creating a retirement income stream, you’re in the right place.
