Retirement, estate and insurance planning in Chattanooga

Eight accounts in one ledger, each one taught before it is touched.

Bruno E. Pouliot, CRPC™, CKA®, plans for retirees, pre-retirees, businesses, professionals and families across the continental USA by phone or Zoom. Nothing here is a product on a shelf. Each area starts with a plain-language conversation, and the choices stay yours.

A note on scope

We Don't Offer Legal Advice, Nor Tax Advice!

When a question touches the law or your taxes, it goes to the attorneys and CPAs on the planning team. Bruno keeps the plan coordinated so those professionals see the same picture you do. Read more about the person behind the practice on the About Bruno page.

Entry three

Estate Planning

Titling, beneficiary designations and legacy goals, coordinated with counsel so more of what you built reaches your family. Titling, beneficiary designations and gifting are reviewed with the attorneys and CPAs on the team, because legal and tax advice are theirs to give.

The five smaller accounts

Protection, debt, giving, succession and teaching

Smaller on this page, not smaller in the plan. Many families touch two or three of these alongside retirement, which is why they live in one ledger.
