ASSET PROTECTION
The world is full of threats. Some act like erosion and come in the form of taxes,
inflation and interest costs. Others are more devastating. They entirely disrupt
the flow of income either temporarily or permanently. All people face threats,
however, not all have considered or examined the corresponding consequences.
With our experience, people identify, prioritize and transfer the consequences of
threats.
RETIREMENT PLANNING
Traditional methods of retirement planning promote the hoarding of your nest egg and sprinkle off some interest each and every year for enjoyment with little, if any, margin for error. This method forces retirees to take undue risks by chasing market returns, limiting access to principle distributions and discourages the full enjoyment of retirement. Meridian strives to create retirement strategies that allow for the full utilization of your assets while satisfying eventual legacy objectives.

Each and every conversation we engage in with clients have several themes
that remain constant. Tax avoidance when possible and tax efficiency are necessities.
We are fee conscious in any investments/ products we implement. We work to reduce
risk in the lives of our clients. This occurs not only in the strategies we build,
but also the companies that represent the products we utilize.
FEE ONLY ADVISING
If you prefer to manage all aspects of implementing your financial plan on your own, are looking for something to outline the path for you to execute, we develop financial plans for a fee.
LIFE PLANNING
We discuss and advise on several other scenarios that a person is likely to encounter
at some point in their lifetime. They include, but are not limited to getting married,
having children, buying your home, buying your vacation home, planning to pay
or finance your child's college education, cash-flow management and
debt-reduction strategies.
