The Kissling Financial Way

Estate Planning

Preserve your legacy, protect your loved ones

Estate Planning documents ensure that your assets transfer according to your wishes, while minimizing taxes and legal expenses. Key components include:

  • Last Will & Testament

  • Durable Power of Attorney

  • Health Care Proxy & Living Will

  • Revocable Trusts

We guide you through drafting, reviewing, and updating these instruments whenever life changes occur.

Insurance Planning

Safeguard against life’s uncertainties

Protect your family and your assets with a tailored insurance strategy. Our Insurance Planning covers:

  • Life Insurance using needs-based and human life value models

  • Disability Insurance to replace lost income

  • Long-Term Care solutions for aging and medical risk

Working with top carriers, we select cost-effective policies that align with your overall plan.

Budgeting

Take control of every dollar

Effective budgeting is the foundation of strong financial health. We employ zero-based and envelope budgeting techniques to allocate income toward expenses, savings, and debt reduction. You will also learn how to build and maintain an emergency fund covering three to six months of living expenses, as recommended by leading regulatory bodies.

Life Transitions

Navigate major life events with confidence

Marriage, divorce, career changes, inheritance, and other milestones demand financial recalibration. We revisit your plan at least annually—or whenever your circumstances shift—to keep you on track and to seize new opportunities as they arise.

Retirement Planning

Project, save, and optimize withdrawals

Retirement Planning is more than choosing investments. We model your future income needs, set savings targets, and craft withdrawal strategies that balance growth and preservation. Our approach helps you determine the ideal retirement age and portfolio mix to sustain your desired lifestyle.

Social Security Planning

Maximize your lifetime benefits

Social Security can represent a large share of your retirement income. We analyze spousal options, survivor benefits, and claiming strategies to help you capture every available dollar. Our detailed projections guide you to the claiming age that best fits your personal situation.

Tax Planning

Reduce liabilities, maximize wealth

Coordinated tax strategies are essential for preserving assets. We integrate Roth conversions, charitable giving, deduction timing, and other techniques into your plan. As CPAs, we leverage the latest IRS guidance and best practices to help you keep more of what you earn.
