A comprehensive approach that aim to address what matters in your life
At Paladin Retirement Advisors, we’ve spent 17 years refining our retirement planning process. While most financial advisors focus solely on investment returns and account balances, we’ve developed a proprietary methodology that addresses every aspect of your transition into retirement.
Our process combines three powerful components: the Paladin Retirement Roadmap that tries to help plan for your complete life after work, the 15% Solution™ and a transparent 3-session journey that tries to put you in control. Together, these help could create a comprehensive retirement planning that serves you completely.
In our experience, most retirement planning tends to go like this: you meet with an advisor, they gather information about your accounts, run some projections, recommend investments, and you sign paperwork. From what we’ve seen, the focus is largely on money—specifically, on whether you have ‘enough’ to retire.
But through our years serving Bucks County families, we’ve witnessed a troubling pattern: people who had enough money on paper yet struggled in retirement. They had financial plans but not retirement plans.
That’s the fundamental problem we set out to solve.
Our proprietary FORM methodology helps to ensure we’re planning for every aspect of your life after work:
Besides God, family is the most important thing in life. We plan around your family relationships, multi-generational needs, legacy goals, and the people who matter most to you.
Work should be a choice, not a necessity. Our goal is to help make you occupationally optional, addressing transition timing, phased retirement options, and maintaining purpose and identity.
Time for the hobbies, travel, volunteer work, and activities you've been postponing. We help ensure you have the resources and plan for what will make retirement meaningful and fulfilling.
The financial foundation that makes everything else possible. We create comprehensive strategies for income, asset protection, tax efficiency, investment management, and healthcare planning.
When we address all four FORM areas, we’re not just managing your money—we’re planning for your life. We believe this holistic approach can support retirement success that goes beyond financial returns.
While the Paladin Retirement Roadmap plans for what you want your retirement to be, the 15% Solution™ protects against forces that could destroy it. We allocate no more than 15% of your portfolio to address seven critical protection areas:
Through years of experience, we’ve believe that 15% provides comprehensive protection without over-insuring or unnecessarily depleting your retirement resources. In our opinion less than 15% could leave dangerous gaps. More than 15% could mean you’re over-paying for coverage.
This strategic allocation could give you a sense of security to enjoy retirement, knowing you’re protected from the forces that could derail financial goals or retirement goals.
We believe you should experience our expertise and receive genuine value before ever becoming a client. That’s why we’ve structured our engagement around three distinct sessions:
A 60-90 minute conversation where we get to know you and you learn about us. No pressure, just determining mutual fit. You'll receive a complimentary Asset Map showing your complete financial picture.
A 90-120 minute session where we present three detailed analysis reports—all complimentary. You'll receive your Potential Concerns and Opportunities Report, Risk Score Analysis, and Color of Money Report. This represents the work we do before you become a client.
If you decide to work with us, we'll present your complete customized Paladin Retirement Roadmap and begin implementation. You'll receive comprehensive planning across all areas, detailed recommendations, and a clear action plan.
Unlike advisors who rush to close the sale, we invest time helping you understand your situation completely before making any decisions. We believe this helps build stronger relationships, help ensures you’re confident in your choice, and means we only work with families we believe we can truly serve exceptionally well.
In our first two complimentary sessions, we explore all four FORM areas of your life, identify protection gaps across all seven areas of the 15% Solution™, and provide comprehensive analysis that helps you understand your complete retirement picture.
We create your customized Paladin Retirement Roadmap—a comprehensive plan addressing family, occupation, recreation, and money. We integrate the 15% Solution™ protection strategies. We develop specific, actionable recommendations prioritized for your situation.
We coordinate every moving piece: opening accounts, transferring assets, implementing investment strategies, securing insurance protection, coordinating legacy planning, setting up Social Security claiming, and creating your ongoing service schedule.
Life doesn't stand still, and neither does your retirement plan. We meet regularly to review your roadmap, adjust strategies as circumstances change, address new opportunities, and ensure you remain on track across all FORM areas with complete protection.
You'll gain a clearer understanding of where you stand financially and what it takes to reach the retirement you want—no confusion, just a straightforward plan and clear direction forward
With a comprehensive plan that addresses the many aspects of retirement and includes appropriate protection, you can move forward feeling prepared for retirement
Our transparent process aims to put you in control at every step. You'll make informed decisions on your timeline without pressure or manipulation.
In our experience planning and protection mean you can actually enjoy retirement instead of worrying about what could go wrong. We believe that's the gift our process provides.
