Independent Risk Management & Insurance Analysis

We review your insurance. We never sell it.

As fee-only fiduciary advisors, we don't earn commissions on any policy, so our only interest is whether your coverage actually protects the life you're building in New York. We help you understand the risks that could derail your financial plan, review the insurance you already own, and make sure every dollar of premium is doing real work.

What a Coverage Review Looks At

Most people carry policies bought years ago, often from someone paid to sell them. A coverage review puts everything on one table: what you own, what it costs, what it actually covers, and where the gaps and overlaps are. You leave with a clear picture of what to keep, what to adjust, and what you're paying for that you no longer need. It's the same detailed, big-picture process we bring to your financial plan, applied to risk.

Life and Disability Insurance

Your ability to earn, and your family's security if something happens to you, are the foundation everything else in your plan rests on. We review your existing life and disability coverage against your real financial picture: your income, your debts, your dependents, and your goals. If you're over-insured, we'll tell you and show you what dropping excess coverage saves. If you're exposed, we'll quantify the gap so you can close it on your terms.

Long-Term Care Planning

Long-term care is the risk most likely to be ignored until it's an emergency, and in New York the costs can be substantial. We help you understand what care realistically costs here, whether insurance, self-funding, or a combination makes sense for you, and how to build the answer into your retirement plan years before a decision is forced on you. Planning early keeps the choice yours.

Healthcare Costs in Your Financial Plan

Healthcare is one of the largest and least predictable expenses in retirement, especially in the years between leaving work and qualifying for Medicare. We model these costs directly into your plan so you can see their impact on your savings, your withdrawal strategy, and your taxes, instead of hoping the numbers work out.

If Changes Are Needed

Analysis is only useful if it leads to action. When your review shows that coverage should change, we coordinate the details with your existing insurance professional, or introduce you to an independent specialist from our Professional Network. Either way, the rule never changes: we don't sell the policy, and we don't take a commission. You get implementation help without a conflict of interest.

Who This Is For

Our risk management work is built for people whose coverage decisions have real consequences: pre-retirees and retirees making sure decades-old policies still fit, and business owners whose personal protection is tangled up with the business. If your insurance was last reviewed by the person who sold it to you, it's time for an independent look.

Common Questions

Do you sell insurance products?
No. We are a fee-only fiduciary firm. We analyze and recommend, and when a policy is needed we coordinate with independent professionals. We never earn a commission on anything you buy.
I already have an insurance agent. Do I still need this?
An agent can tell you what a policy does. We tell you whether it fits your overall financial plan, your taxes, and your estate goals, with no incentive pulling the answer in any direction.
What does a coverage review cost?
Risk management is part of our comprehensive planning relationship. There is no separate product charge and no commission, ever. See how we work or ask us directly.
