I would highly recommend the McAdams team to everyone.Jim HarperJim Harper ★★★★★ I am pleased with the service I received. Setting up a trust is extremely important if you own property in TN. A simple will does not transfer real property to your heirs and must go through probate. This will add thousands of dollars of unnecessary expense and a year of delay to transfer your property. This is avoided with a trust and McAdams Group was well suited to me in setting this up. They take care of most of the complicated steps at a reasonable cost. Mic (Michael) did a great job setting up our Trust and advising on the follow up steps I needed to take.Darlene HillisDarlene Hillis ★★★★★ Everyone I talked with are very knowledgeable and personable.

Our Combined 70 Years of Experience Will Help You Ensure a Lifetime of Financial Stability

Retirement Financial Planning

Factors such as inflation, taxes and interest rates are often considered last when planning a more comfortable retirement. As your retirement financial advisor, we provide you with a financial plan that analyzes all these while aligning with your post-work goals.

Estate Planning

Determining how to distribute the wealth you have accumulated and preserved gives you peace of mind as you reach your golden years. Enlist the help of our highly trained advisors to help ensure meticulous planning for your money and other assets.

Tax Planning

You should know about the taxable portion of your Social Security and related retirement income tax liabilities. Your financial education should go as far as helping you reduce your tax burden. Our financial advisors are well-equipped to assist you in doing so before you file your taxes.

Fiduciary Financial Advisor

The financial advisor you select to help you plan and save for retirement is one of the most important decisions you'll ever make. It’s important to find an advisor whose strategies are aligned with your needs. Another good idea when you’re looking for an advisor is to find one who is a fiduciary financial advisor.

Investment Management

Our advisors will work with you to help provide the guidance and advice you need for strong long-term investment performance. We will provide a strategy based on your specific goals and needs with individualized help every step of the way.

Rollover IRA

When it comes to growing your money over the long-term, studies have shown that tax advantage is one of the biggest benefits you could have in growing your money. Tax advantage is a main reason Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and 401(k)s are so popular when it comes to saving for retirement.

We Follow Our 7-Step Educational Process to Help You Achieve Your Financial Goals

Our first priority is helping you take care of yourself and your family. We want to learn more about your personal situation, identify your dreams and goals, and understand your tolerance for risk. Long-term relationships that encourage open and honest communication have been the foundation of our success.

  1. Identify Lifetime Objectives & Strategies 
    We don’t believe in a “cookie-cutter” approach. No two situations are alike. We tailor your financial strategies to assist you in achieving your specific lifetime goals and objectives.
  2. Determine Your Risk Profile 
    How much of your money should be in the stock market? How much should be in more conservative investments? We believe in staying within your comfort level rather than chasing short-term market returns.
  3. Understand All of Your Options 
    Some advisors are not willing to spend the time to educate you. We believe an informed client is a good client. We believe peace of mind may come from understanding your options.
  4. Build Your Portfolio 
    Your personal preferences as well as your cash flow needs are some of the factors that determine your investment allocation. In building your model, we educate you about today’s more conservative income-generating investments, so you can make informed decisions.
  5. Optimize Your Investment Allocations
    If desired, we will help you allocate the equity portion of your investments in conjunction with modern portfolio theory and mean-variance optimization.
  6. Identify Tax Reduction and Asset Preservation Strategies
    Once your investment allocation is completed, we help coordinate your affairs. Our focus is on minimizing income taxes and future death taxes as well as helping to potentially protect you and your assets from health care expenses.
  7. Schedule Regular Periodic Reviews 
    Last but certainly not least, we believe regular periodic reviews will help you stay the course. Our firm’s success in large part comes from an emphasis on client service. We strive to contact each of our clients at least four times a year.

We tailor our financial strategies based on your individual needs and goals.
