Income & Tax Planning

Whether you’re postponing income, accelerating deductions, or controlling when income is recognized, there are many ways to minimize your income taxes. This type of planning is an ongoing process, with the ultimate goal to reduce your tax liability and keep more of what you’ve earned. 

ASSET STABILITY

Investment Management

At Northern Way, our focus is to help ensure a worry-free retirement.  Our well-rounded investment strategy starts by assessing your risk tolerance, making adjustments to reduce fees, and organizing, tracking and testing your plan. Let us guide you toward a secure financial future.

NEXT-GEN WEALTH

Legacy Planning

Are you ready to secure your legacy and safeguard your wealth for generations to come? We help you create a solid plan that covers estate management, tax optimization, charitable giving, and more. It’s never too early to start thinking about the future and securing your loved ones’ financial stability for generations to come.

OPTIMIZE RESOURCES

Healthcare Planning

It’s crucial to plan for health care costs during retirement. But calculating the right amount depends on several factors- your income, age, location, and life expectancy. We assess these and other factors – like Medicare or supplementary plans too. We help you make informed decisions about saving for your future healthcare needs now so you can worry less later.

We are built on a strong foundation that believes in hard work, service to others, and an authentic approach to always educating our clients along their retirement journey.
