every area of your financial life, covered

A great retirement plan doesn't address one or two things in isolation — it brings every area of your financial life into alignment. At Stillwater, comprehensive planning means your income, investments, taxes, and legacy are all working together toward the same goal.

Here are some of the key areas we help clients navigate:

Retirement Income

Converting savings into an coordinate income strategy across all your accounts and built around your needs.

Tax Planning

Proactive, year-round tax strategy designed to keep more of what you've saved working for you throughout retirement.

Social Security

A thoughtful filing strategy designed to support your income goals and integrate seamlessly with your broader retirement plan.

Investment Management

An evidence-based portfolio built around your retirement plan — managed with discipline and a long time horizon in mind.

Charitable Giving

A purposeful giving strategy that reflects your values, supports the causes you care about, and fits comfortably within your retirement plan.

Estate & Legacy

Intentional planning to ensure your wealth, your wishes, and your values are reflected in what you leave behind.

These are the areas where the right decisions make the biggest difference. And at Stillwater, no area is planned in isolation — every piece is connected, coordinated, and built around your life.

Simple, transparent pricing

Stillwater operates on a fee-only basis — meaning our only compensation comes directly from the clients we serve, never from commissions, product sales, or referral arrangements. Our fees are based on assets under management and are clearly outlined before you ever commit to working together.

Clients tend to get the most out of our services with at least $250,000 in investable assets. If that describes you, we'd love to have a conversation about whether Stillwater is the right fit.
