Our Approach to Retirement Planning

You will inevitably have questions for our team and perhaps some hesitations and reluctance as well. This is natural, which is why it’s so important for you to know that the very foundation of our planning philosophy - and the entire process of how we help clients just like you plan for retirement - is one built on transparency and moves at a pace you are comfortable with. We also believe very strongly that the greatest decisions are the best-educated ones. We encourage you to use the many resources we have available prior to as well as in between our meetings. The more you understand your options and the pros and cons of each, the better prepared you will be and the more confidence you will have in being an active participant in your retirement planning in Wausau, WI.

Wausau WI Buska Retirement Solutions Fact Finding

First Meeting – Fact Finding

One of the first steps in planning for your retirement is choosing the right team of financial professionals. This meeting is an opportunity to talk about your retirement goals and for you to learn about our approach to retirement income planning. These insights can help us determine if we are comfortable working together.

Part of the process will include reviewing the information you will be asked to complete before our meeting and the documents you will be asked to bring with you (see below lists). The more information you have available, the more accurate our planning professionals can be in working with you, so please gather as many of those documents as you are able. Copies can be made at our office during your appointment.

Put your mind at ease: No matter where life has taken you, our approach is genuinely non-judgmental.

There is no cost or obligation for meeting with us and no decisions will be made at this meeting.
