Lawrence J. Fisher
Welcome to WeHelpYouRetire.com. As the name implies, our business is focused primarily on helping individuals and families make a positive transition from work to retirement. We work with clients to guide them through the maze of important financial decisions that result from retiring.
From an investment standpoint, there is a critical shift that takes place for most people at retirement - from accumulation to distribution. The rules are different and our clients depend on us to help them understand and plan for the differences. Together we develop a plan to help with their unique financial objectives.
It's important to note that this is not a do-it-yourself website. You will find many valuable tools and resources, but it is our belief that retirement planning is best accomplished with the help of a trusted advisor.
So enjoy your visit and if you think we can help you plan for the future, I encourage you to contact our office to arrange a complimentary consultation.
