Retirement Planning

Financial Independence

Retirement planning is more than just saving money—it's about building a future where you can live your dreams. At Brooklyn Fi, we bring something different to retirement planning: the belief that money is just a tool to live your best life. That's why the F.I. in our name stands for Financial Independence.

Our experienced team integrates retirement projections, tax planning, and portfolio management to guide your journey. Whether you're planning a traditional retirement or building a side hustle, we align your investments with tax-conscious strategies to help build the future you envision.

Your financial future shouldn’t be a bunch of question marks.

Do you ever wonder...

  • How much money can I spend in retirement?
  • Is my portfolio invested in the right mix of stocks and bonds?
  • When should I file for Social Security?
  • Should I complete Roth Conversions or accelerate capital gains?
  • How can I ensure I’m set up before helping my parents or kids or giving to causes I believe in?

You need answers, and you need a crafted plan that makes sense.

Our experienced team is ready to transform chaos into clarity so you can focus on the now.

What makes BKFi different from other firms when it comes to retirement planning?

We integrate tax expertise into every decision

We don't just advise on taxes—we prepare and file your returns. Our team of CPAs works directly with our financial planners to optimize your complete financial picture. With complex situations like Roth conversions, equity compensation, or deferred income, this integrated approach helps you:

  • Project and plan for taxes months in advance, eliminating surprise bills and penalties
  • Strategically manage your tax brackets each year to maximize long-term savings
  • Coordinate investment decisions with tax strategy for optimal efficiency

We are credentialed

Education and continuous learning are core values at BKFi. Our team consists of Certified Financial Planners, CPAs, and Enrolled Agents. We invest significant time in ongoing education to stay ahead of industry developments and serve you better.

We map your future (your way)

Using sophisticated planning tools, we help piece together the puzzle of your financial future. From retirement age options to spending patterns, you need to know multi-year tax consequences and how they align with your lifestyle choices before they happen. Unlike traditional accountants who focus on the past, we help shape better financial outcomes by showing you clear pathways to your goals and the steps to get there.

We help you take a step back

While we're experts in the technical aspects of planning, we start with understanding what matters most to you. Whether it's early retirement, starting a business, supporting your family, or leaving a legacy - we help identify and achieve your real goals. Our first priority is understanding what you want your money to do for you, then we create the technical framework to get you there.

Our Clients Say It Best

Despite the dramatic ups and downs of my company's stock post-IPO, I'm calm and grateful knowing we've built a trading plan that will support our big-picture financial goals.

–Jackson and Holly

Without Brooklyn FI's expertise, I would never have known I held QSBS shares during my liquidity event.

–Joyce

Working with Brooklyn Fi was the best decision we made last year. They are a team of down-to-earth humans who are also financial superheroes. John and the team helped us make quick and expert decisions in a short period of time (#startupstock), organize all aspects of our finances, meet us where we are to explain challenging topics, and they also do taxes to put the cherry on top!
