Thrive retirement group reviews: What clients say about our retirement specialists:
“I learned more in my 3 pre meetings than the several years I have spent educating myself. I am so excited about their methodology and process of creating financial security and health. Looking forward to a long relationship together.”
— Tracy
“I would strongly encourage anyone interested to at least schedule the initial consultation. I got more analysis and feedback on our financial plan in that initial session than I had in years with a previous advisor.”

Step #1
Schedule 20-Min Introductory Call
A 20-minute call will give us both a chance to make sure your situation matches our expertise.
After all, you wouldn’t see a Dermatologist if you needed back surgery!
Step #2
Alignment Meeting
Like a doctor, it’s important to diagnose before we prescribe.
The next step is meeting with our team. During this 1-hour meeting, our team will get crystal clear on your retirement priorities, needs, and concerns.
Step #3
Review Assessment
With your Thrive Assessment complete, we will have another 1-hour meeting to review our findings and recommendations.
In plain English, we will explain exactly what you can do to improve your retirement plan, optimize your investments, and lower your taxes.
Sleep On It!
At the end of step 3, we will simply ask you to sleep on it. Time and energy are precious, so it’s best to ensure we are a good fit for each other before starting a long-term relationship. We have no interest in pressuring you to say “yes.”

Do you work with clients across the U.S.?

How does Thrive make money?
That's EASY!
We charge every client the same transparent flat-quarterly fee of $2,250 per quarter withdrawn directly from your designated investment account.
No commissioned products to sell, no referral fees to gain, no percentage of assets under management, and never any complicated sliding scales.
Why flat fee you ask? -- it's fair and it makes sense. No client deserves preferential treatment over another. Further, it removes conflict of interest inherent in paying based on the size of your investment accounts (especially when you're supposed to be spending those assets down to live your best life in retirement).
-
What is your investment management philosophy?
We believe in investing based on probability over possibility and reducing unnecessary and potentially harmful complexity. We are holistic and advise on all your investment accounts (including workplace retirement plans, pensions, etc.) to integrate all financial assets Into one cohesive Investment strategy.
We focus on variables we can control and aim to capture the returns of investment markets In a tax-efficient way using low-cost, index funds (Exchange Traded Funds, or ETFs).
We monitor portfolios for opportunities to rebalance to ensure the integrity of the chosen portfolio's risk-return characteristics at all times.
We work around existing low-cost basis investment holdings and other client constraints when warranted and would work with you to develop a prudent, tax-aware, transition plan.
-
Do you actively manage sequence of returns risk (SoRR)?
YES!!! SoRR is arguably the greatest risk retirees face. Poor investment returns in early retirement can substantially reduce your retirement income. While we cannot control the timing and level of your returns (i.e., sequence of returns) you will experience, we do many things in practice to manage the impact that a sequence of poor returns could have on your retirement income.
We write extensively on how you can protect your retirement income from this risk.
-
Do I retain access to my investment accounts and where will they be held?
Yes, you will always retain access and control over all of your investment accounts at all times. We partner with industry pioneer and leader, Charles Schwab (as custodian), where we establish your Investment accounts for safekeeping--no worries, we do all the heavy lifting so you only have to work with us.
During the account opening process, you authorize Schwab to give us limited access to your Investment accounts so that we may place buy/sell trades and withdraw our quarterly management fee. At no time ever will Thrive Retirement Specialists be in direct possession of your investment assets.
While you will never need to work directly with Schwab, you can have peace of mind knowing you can always access your investment accounts online or through one of their 400 branches across the U.S.
-
Are you a fiduciary?
Short answer – ABSOLUTELY! (Could you imagine working with an advisor who is not?)
Long answer – As a Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) and CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNERTM (CFP®) professionals, we are legally obligated to act as a fiduciary.
-
How are you different than other financial advisors?
Oh, boy 🤦 We've either done a bad job building our website or you haven't been paying attention. The better question would be how are we similar. The answer: we're not!
