Retirement Planning Services in Sanford/Lake Mary and the Greater Orlando Area

Nordmann Wealth Management provides financial planning and investment management services for individuals, families, retirees, pre-retirees, and business owners in Central Florida. Our office is located in Lake Mary, and we serve clients throughout Sanford, Longwood, Altamonte Springs, Apopka, Orange City, Deltona, DeLand, and the greater Orlando area.

Our primary focus is helping people prepare for and navigate retirement. Retirement can be exciting, but it also raises difficult questions. You may be ready to leave work emotionally, but are unsure whether the numbers support the decision. You may have saved diligently but still wonder if you've saved enough, or how to use your accounts to create monthly income. You may be concerned about taxes, Medicare, market risk, estate planning, or how to provide for a surviving spouse.

We will bring those questions into one organized planning process.

Retirement planning

Retirement planning

Retirement planning is the core of our practice. We help pre-retirees and retirees evaluate whether they are financially prepared, how much income their assets may support, and what steps should be taken before and after retirement begins.

This may include retirement income projections, Social Security planning, pension analysis, withdrawal and tax strategies, required minimum distribution planning, Roth conversion considerations, Medicare-related planning, budgeting, cash reserve planning, and coordination with tax and legal professionals.

Our goal is to help you see what retirement may look like before you make the decision to retire.

Retirement income planning

Retirement income planning

Once a regular paycheck stops, income usually comes from multiple sources. Social Security, pensions, IRAs, 401(k)s, taxable accounts, Roth accounts, annuities, and cash reserves may all play a role.

We help clients create a coordinated income strategy. That includes deciding which accounts to use, how much to withdraw, how to manage taxes, and how to keep enough liquidity for short-term needs while maintaining a long-term investment plan.

Investment and portfolio management

Investment management should support your financial plan. We help clients build and manage portfolios based on their goals, risk tolerance, income needs, time horizon, and tax considerations.

For retirees, the portfolio must often balance income, preservation, growth, liquidity, and legacy goals. We help clients understand the specific risk they are taking and whether their investments are aligned with their retirement plan.

Tax-sensitive planning

Taxes can have a major impact on retirement income. We help clients think through the tax implications of IRA withdrawals, Roth conversions, required minimum distributions, the percentage of Social Security taxation, capital gains, charitable giving, and Medicare income thresholds.

We do not provide tax advice, but tax planning is an important element of our practice, and we can help identify issues to review with your CPA or tax professional.

Medicare planning

Medicare is one of the most important planning issues for retirees. Decisions around Medicare timing, coverage options, prescription drug plans, income-related premium adjustments, and coordination with employer coverage can affect both health care and cash flow.

We help clients understand how Medicare fits into the broader retirement plan and where additional specialized guidance may be needed.

Estate planning coordination

A sound financial plan should address not only projected income, but also wealth transfer. We help review beneficiary designations, account titling, estate planning objectives, and coordination with attorneys with the goal of transferring assets to heirs directly and minimizing the assets left in the taxable estate for your heirs.

Common topics include wills, trusts, ladybird deeds, durable powers of attorney, health care directives, beneficiary designations, inherited IRA considerations, education plannning for minor grandchildren, and planning for a surviving spouse or future generations.

Rollovers and retirement account transitions

Changing jobs, retiring, or consolidating accounts often creates rollover decisions. We help clients evaluate their options, including keeping assets in an employer plan, tax-free rollovers of assets to an IRA, or using other available strategies depending on the circumstances.

The goal is to simplify your financial life while preserving flexibility and maintaining an investment strategy aligned with your needs.

Employer retirement plans

We also work with businesses that want to establish or maintain employer retirement plans. Services may include guidance around 401(k) plans, SEP IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, cash balance plans, and other retirement plan options.

Business owners often need to balance employee benefits, tax considerations, administrative complexity, cost, and their own retirement planning. We help identify plan structures that will fit your business and coordinate with plan providers and tax professionals as needed.

No fees for Financial Planning

We do not charge fees for financial planning. Our strong preference is to work as a fee-based, fiduciary advisor for our clients, meaning that our compensation is a flat percentage fee based upon your account size; as such, our interests are aligned with our clients. That means planning, advice, investment management, and ongoing review are integrated into the client relationship with no additional fees.
