OUR PROCESS

The BIG Money Process

PROVEN RETIREMENT LEADERSHIP

Follow a clear path forward

Retirement is one of life’s biggest transitions. Our BIG Process creates confidence by turning complexity into clear decisions you can act on.

01

B

Build your retirement foundation

We start with you, not your portfolio. Before any recommendations are made, we take the time to understand what retirement actually looks like for you, what you want to protect, and what matters most. We capture the full picture so every decision that follows is built around your priorities, not generic assumptions.

  • Define what retire right looks like for you
  • Prioritize what you want to protect
  • Capture the full picture in an easy to understand way

This step ensures your plan is built around your life, not a template.

02

I

Illuminate your options

With your vision clear, we evaluate your full financial picture across income, investments, taxes, and risk. We bring clarity to the tradeoffs, cut through the complexity, and focus on what matters most to you. You leave this step with decisions that feel clear, not complicated.

  • Review your investments, savings, and retirement accounts
  • Align your income sources into a cohesive strategy
  • Identify risks and tax considerations that could impact your plan

This step brings total clarity to where you stand and what is possible.

03

G

Guide the plan into action

With a clear strategy in place, we activate your retirement plan and walk alongside you every step of the way. We do not hand over a document and disappear. We stay accountable, adjust as life changes, and make sure your plan keeps working as hard as you did.

  • Finalize and activate your retirement strategy
  • Establish a review rhythm that fits your life
  • Ongoing guidance as things change

This step is where confidence becomes something you can actually feel.

THE DIFFERENCE A PLAN MAKES

From uncertainty to
confidence

Without a clear strategy, retirement decisions can feel overwhelming. With the right plan in place, every piece of your financial life begins working together to support the future you want.

Where you are now

Uncertain about what age you can retire and how much income you’ll need to live your dreams.

Savings, investments, and retirement accounts that may not yet work together within a coordinated plan.

Concern about making costly mistakes or overlooking important retirement decisions.

Uncertainty about how taxes, withdrawals, and market changes may impact your retirement income.

A general sense of where you want to go, but no clear structure for getting there.

Where we can get you

A clearer idea of when you can retire and the income to fund your dreams.

A strategy designed to align your income, investments, and tax decisions around a clear retirement plan.

Greater clarity around the decisions that matter most and how they may affect your long-term plan.

A more thoughtful approach to managing income, investments, and taxes throughout retirement.

A structured plan designed to help guide decisions and provide greater confidence about the path ahead.

OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU

Leadership you can feel in every decision

Trust is earned through consistent action. That is why our commitment goes beyond building a financial plan. We lead with clarity, honesty, and guidance that creates confidence.

We put your interests first

Every recommendation is grounded in what matters most to you. Your goals lead. Your family matters. Your future stays the priority.

We tell you what you need to hear

You will always get straight answers and clear guidance. We believe transparency builds trust and confidence builds momentum.

We create personalized strategies

No templates. No shortcuts. Your strategy is personalized to your values, your priorities, and the life you want to live.

“We moved to Big Money after being with a couple of other advisors for a few years. The reason we moved was because when Big Money did our initial review they helped us to see hidden charges that we brought back the advisors who explained it away. Big Money has training and seminars that cover many things that interest us. Everything they have done to help us has impressed me and I highly recommend that you do your research to make sure they are the right fit for you. I can say I did my research and we are very happy with Big Money.”

Jonathan and his team communicate very well through scheduled meetings and have assisted me in understanding where I need to be for retirement at age 68! They provide all the services needed including tax planning. I highly recommend Big Money Retirement for your retirement needs.”

“Malena and I met Jonathan at one of his informational seminars in the summer of 2023. Several months later, we met with Jonathan for our first meeting and committed to transferring our retirement assets to his team. Since then, we have been more than pleased with not only our experience, but also with his team’s performance. We are most impressed by the accessibility to Jonathan and his entire team and their responsiveness to our questions and needs. We are just sorry that we did not meet him sooner. We look forward to a long and fruitful relationship with Johnathan and his team.”

“We are so grateful of how we met and what we changed for our future. Left a large company supposedly taking care of us for 20,30+ years retirement bound and needed the change. You have treated us with respect and better than ever so far since we switched. Thank you friends!”
