Our Story and Services
The South 61 Group at Morgan Stanley represents two highly seasoned Financial Advisors with decades of experience successfully navigating clients through all types of market conditions—and shielding them from many of the unknowns that often disrupt financial plans.
Our complementary backgrounds as a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® and former Certified Public Accountant (CPA) foster our ability to provide comprehensive client solutions. We’re problem-solvers who thoroughly explore a client’s situation, and often are able to offer outside-the-box insights or alternative solutions to benefit them. We believe advisors who take this type of approach can make a difference in a client’s life.
Our team is adept at constructing retirement financial plans—whether it’s for individual investors, small business owners or solo practitioners. We don’t follow the trend in our industry of relying heavily on off-the-shelf software that only looks at the numbers to create your plan. We look beyond the numbers and rely on our deep experience to craft a holistic plan that’s ideally tailored for you.
For small business owners, we’ll guide you to establish a tax-deferred savings similar to those offered by corporations to better enable you to attract and retain valuable employees. For solo practitioners, we’ll recommend retirement plans with several attractive savings-related features that are designed for one-person businesses.
Clients depend on our extensive knowledge of Social Security and Medicare to help them make well-informed decisions about matters that can substantially impact their retirement outcome. As an example, Social Security can be used to generate a meaningful income stream that facilitates a more secure, comfortable retirement.
We will work with a client’s CPA to help provide advanced tax planning strategies, too. For instance, when considering a Roth conversion it’s important to weigh its potential advantages against the often-overlooked consequences that could adversely impact your tax return. The key to the strategies we may recommend is knowing they exist and then understanding how to effectively use them. It’s a skillset we’ve honed over time.
Choosing an advisory team is an important decision that can greatly impact your financial well-being. We encourage you to learn more about our group, and welcome the opportunity to have a conversation with you.

Financial Planning
Every individual has "needs" and "wants" in life. A basic retirement plan should at least cover the needs. But a truly successful one will also cover the wants.
That type of planning begins by first understanding you as a whole individual. We're interested in learning about both your accomplishments and disappointments, along with your aspirations and worries. We invest the time to deeply explore possible solutions to your financial concerns, and leverage our extensive breadth of knowledge. We don't take shortcuts. It's a commitment we make to every client. And, perhaps most importantly, we put our clients' best interests first.
Our team emphasizes holistic planning knowing that every aspect of your financial life could have a positive—or negative—impact on your retirement outcome. We've seen how a single mistake (or overlooked detail) can undermine an individual's financial future. It's often what you don't know that disrupts your financial plan. Our investment philosophy centers on the belief that the best way to grow wealth is to not lose it. So, we construct diversified, high-quality, long-term portfolios meant for capital preservation.
As part of our comprehensive planning, we offer advanced strategies that include important considerations such as Social Security, Medicare, Roth conversions, net unrealized appreciation (NUA), mega-back door Roths, 401(k) accounts with company stock, pensions, lump-sum payments and long-term care.
Why Work with a CFP®?
CFP® professionals meet rigorous education and ethical standards. They're trained in 72 areas of financial knowledge, and must accrue thousands of hours of experience prior to earning their certification. Additionally, CFP® professionals are committed to serving their clients' best interests at all times.
Putting your entire financial life into a clear picture isn't easy. CFP® professionals are skilled at doing this, including how to balance your short-term goals with your long-term objective of retirement security. That's why working with a CFP® professional can be so valuable for individuals seeking comprehensive financial planning.
Retirement FAQs
The topic of retirement generates a lot of questions. We've included some of the most common ones we receive, along with a couple of uncommon ones you should be asking. Whether you're a pre-retiree or already retired, we look forward to addressing your own questions, and navigating you through this complex stage of life.
Do I really need to have a retirement plan?
Everyone should have a plan—or at the very least some key steps to follow for success. Keep in mind as you become older it's increasingly important to have a plan in place especially if you need some assistance or become completely incapacitated. It's also critical to have a will, power of attorney and beneficiaries on record, and periodically review this information to ensure it's current.
How should I change my investments to suit my new income needs?
Focus on investing in strong, stable companies, creating a high-quality, fixed income portfolio to mitigate your market risk exposure and consider using dividends to fight inflation. Developing an emergency fund is a good idea, too.
When transitioning my savings into a paycheck in retirement, which account do I draw from first?
That depends on your situation. We'll provide a thorough analysis to see which makes the most sense for you. Once we've put together a strategy, Morgan Stanley makes it simple to set up automatic payments to your local bank. We can also consult with your CPA to determine how to minimize your tax burden which can significantly impact your retirement income.
How much am I going to spend on healthcare? I’m not sure what to budget.
We'll work with to better determine your budget, and leverage a tool from Morgan Stanley that reviews national cost data to estimate healthcare costs for individuals. As part of this discussion, we may discuss if original Medicare or a Medicare Advantage plan would be best for you.
We'll also explore other potential ways to save on healthcare costs, such as trying to avoid the Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount for Medicare. This is an additional amount above the standard Part B and D premiums you may need to pay if your income exceeds certain thresholds.
I might be underestimating or overlooking some expenses. What are my peers spending their money on during retirement?
Obviously, your expenditures will be different from other retirees. But after advising retirees for many years, we've noticed two commonly overlooked expenses that cause clients to underestimate what they will really need.
As an example, home repair expenses are often double what many retirees anticipate. Secondly, dental repairs typically become more frequent as you age—and the fees for these repairs are ballooning. For instance, dental implants cost thousands of dollars per tooth. Helping clients anticipate these types of common expenses is an important but often overlooked aspect of retirement planning.
Recent and Upcoming Events
Our group frequently hosts educational seminars regarding important financial planning considerations such as Social Security, Medicare, estate planning strategies and other matters that can significantly impact your financial security, especially later in life. We encourage you to attend these events, and look forward to meeting you
