Retirement Planning
Retirement isn’t the finish line — it’s the start of a new phase of life. Creating lasting financial security is one of the most important (and often most challenging) goals investors face. With just one chance to get it right, working with a fiduciary who puts your interests first matters. Our retirement planning approach helps you prepare for and navigate this transition — with a strategy tailored to support the life you want.
Retirement planning designed for confidence.

What is retirement planning?
Retirement planning is the process of preparing your finances so you can maintain your lifestyle and achieve your goals after you stop working. At Keynote Financial, we create personalized strategies to help clients approach retirement with clarity and confidence.
When should I start planning for retirement?
It’s never too early to start. The sooner you begin, the more flexibility and options you’ll have. That said, it’s also never too late — even small adjustments made closer to retirement can make a difference.
How can a financial advisor help with retirement planning?
A fiduciary advisor helps you design a plan that aligns your savings, investments, and income strategies with your goals and timeline. We also help prepare for risks like healthcare costs, inflation, and longevity.
Do I need to have a certain amount saved to work with Keynote Financial?
No. We work with households in different stages of life and with varying levels of assets. Our focus is on meeting you where you are and building a plan that fits your situation.
Can you help with Social Security decisions?
Yes. We help you evaluate your options and timing for Social Security so it fits into your broader retirement plan.
What if I’m already retired — is it too late to plan?
Not at all. Retirement planning doesn’t stop once you retire. We help clients adjust their plans to ensure their finances continue to support their needs and goals throughout retirement.
Do you only work with clients in Connecticut?
While we are based in Vernon, Connecticut, we proudly serve clients nationwide.
