Connecting with a Retirement Income Certified Professional® can be the difference between having enough for your retirement years or not having enough when you need it the most.
An RICP® means that your certified professional has met the rigorous education, examination, experience, and ethical requirements set by the American College of Financial Services to understand the specific needs and struggles that come with total retirement planning.
At Iron Point Financial, we are about people, not products. You have unique retirement goals and requirements. A Retirement Income Certified Professional considers your specific retirement needs to create a customized retirement plan and a strategy to make your retirement last as long as you need it to.
If you’re thinking about switching your Retirement Income Certified Professional or getting started for the first time, you should keep a few things in mind when considering us:
In a world where ”best practices” usually involve sending prospective clients to long forms with multiple choice questions, our company has been founded upon the belief that every client is unique and needs a plan that will help them reach their unique goals.
Building long term relationships and helping clients reach their goals is our highest priority. We are willing to put in the hard work required to serve our clients where they are today, while being accountable to help them grow into a great future.
Learning from our experiences in helping others, we have created processes and tools that inform us to give you advise that empowers you to be confident in the steps that you are taking to reach your financial goals.
As we listen to you & assess your goals, we will develop & execute a retirement plan that has been custom built for you.
We will meet with you each year to review and adjust your retirement plan so you can face your future with confidence.
Being Confident in your retirement investment progress gives you the freedom to invest your life in what matters most.
Face-to-Face Interaction:
One of the main benefits of working with a local RICP is the opportunity for in-person meetings and consultations. Face-to-face interactions can help build trust, rapport, and a strong working relationship with your RICP. This personal connection allows for better communication and understanding of your retirement needs and goals, leading to more effective financial planning and advice.
Local Knowledge and Expertise
A local RICP will likely have a deep understanding of the local economy, tax regulations, and financial landscape. This knowledge can be beneficial when developing a retirement plan tailored to your specific needs and situation. For example, they may know regional investment opportunities, tax incentives, or local estate planning considerations that could impact your retirement strategy. Their familiarity with the local community can also help them connect you with other trusted professionals, such as attorneys, accountants, or real estate agents.
Accessibility and Ongoing Support
Working with a local RICP means they are easily accessible for meetings, consultations, and continued support. This accessibility can be especially valuable during market volatility, or significant life changes when you may need prompt advice or adjustments to your retirement plan. Having a RICP nearby also lets you maintain regular contact and receive timely updates on your retirement progress, keeping you informed and engaged in your financial journey.
