Broker Check

Our Firm

At Fredstrom & Associates, P.A. we offer our clients strategies to navigate both saving for retirement and living in retirement while seeking to lower the taxes they pay along the way.

Are you retired and feel you are paying too much in taxes? Could you use more retirement income? Working with a Financial Planner with a CPA background can bring your financial picture in focus. We can analyze your asset location, cost basis, and required minimum distributions. Other strategies may include donor advised funds, qualified charitable distributions, charitable remainder trusts, tax-deferral strategies, Roth conversions, and more.

Or you may be a few years away from retirement and trying to navigate your options for savings and spending. We can help you consider in-service distributions, NUAs, stock options, Roth conversions and more. We will help you craft a spending plan to determine how much income you need from your investments then where and when to make those withdrawals.  

We listen to our clients needs, goals and dreams. Yet, surprises come up and it is much better to avoid a costly mistake then to try to fix one. Tax-efficient financial planning strategies can be very useful. When unavoidable tax consequences arise, we are able to implement various strategies to avoid being "very patriotic" as we call it. 

Your first priority is taking 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 cornerstone of our firm.
