Social Security has announced the 2027 raise: 3.6%, starting in January 2027. Two things affect how much of it you'll actually see in your check.

The first is Medicare Part B. If you get Social Security, it usually comes out of your check, so your net raise depends on it. The 2027 Part B premium hasn't been announced yet. SSA says your 2027 premium amount will show in your my Social Security Message Center starting in late November.

The second is the tax return Social Security uses for Medicare. Higher earners can pay an added amount, and it's generally based on your income from two years earlier. For 2027, that's usually your 2025 return.

If you'd like a fiduciary to look at how your 2027 income fits together, tell us a bit about your situation here and someone from our team will reach out:

Retired or close to it, and RMDs haven't started yet? Those in-between years can be a window to look at Roth conversions. For 2026, that window closes Dec 31.

Your paycheck may be smaller now, and required withdrawals haven't kicked in. For some people that means a lower tax bracket than they'll see later. For others it doesn't. It's worth checking.

Three things to look at before you convert:
How much room is left in this year's bracket.
Medicare surcharges for higher earners look back two years, so 2026 income can show up in 2028 premiums.
Whether you can pay the tax with money from outside the IRA.

A conversion counts in the year you do it, and it's hard to undo. Whether to convert some, all, or none depends on your whole plan.

Run the tax side by your CPA. If you'd like a fiduciary to look at how it fits your retirement income before year-end, tell us a bit about your situation here and someone from our team will reach out:

Record highs bring out the same question: "Should I move my 401(k) to cash?" If you're a few years from retirement, that's the wrong first question.

Going all to cash means you have to be right twice. Once getting out, and again getting back in. Cash isn't risk-free either. Inflation keeps working on it, and deciding when to go back in is its own hard call.

A better first question: what money do you need over the next few years, and is that part already set aside from market swings?

That's what a rules-based process is for. You decide the rules before the headline shows up.

The SEC’s new marketing rule isn’t just a technical update—it’s a seismic shift for independent advisors. In 2026, the RIA compliance audit lens will sweep your entire digital footprint, from website claims to every case study you share over coffee. The gap between intent and documentation is where many solo practitioners get caught.

When your client trust is built on fiduciary duty, getting marketing compliance right is more than risk management—it’s a growth strategy. Are your systems bulletproof, or do you worry about the next sweep?

Our team has built audit-ready marketing and operational support for independent advisors who want to focus on clients, not just compliance files.

Before you move the 401(k): a fiduciary second opinion can help.

A job change or retirement often forces a choice about where plan money lives next. Moving it can be hard to undo, so a calm second look before custody changes is worth the pause.

A fiduciary review can cover the process at a high level: fees, destination alternatives, creditor protections, and how income sequencing might fit later. Educational process, not a product pitch and not personalized advice.

You do not have to fire anyone to get that review.

The Fed raised rates Wednesday. The target range is now 3.75% to 4.00%, the first hike in years.

Cash yields may look better for money on the sidelines. That is not a reason to rush a rollover or portfolio change off one news cycle.

The IRS issued Notice 2026-49 with guidance on rollovers between retirement plans and IRAs.

The sample direct rollover forms and procedures in the notice are optional. They are not required.

Comments are due by October 23, 2026. There is no safe harbor yet.

A question people often ask is the difference between a trustee-to-trustee direct rollover and a check made payable to the participant. That is a process distinction, not a recommendation to choose one path.

This is process education about the notice, not advice to roll over or stay put.

Changing jobs? Don’t auto-pilot the 401(k) you already have.

Four common paths: leave it in the old plan, move it to a new employer plan, roll it to an IRA, or cash it out. Tradeoffs differ: fees, menus, creditor protection, special plan rules. Ages 55+ who leave a job sometimes ask about the Rule of 55 (educational only; plan rules vary; not tax advice).

A fiduciary review can compare options before a move is hard to undo.

Most people assume their 401(k) catch-up contribution is coded as Roth after age 50, especially if you're earning $150,000 or more. But with new rules hitting many plans this year, a quick pay stub audit could save you from a surprise next April.

If your plan hasn't caught up with SECURE 2.0 changes, your catch-up may default to pre-tax, or simply not happen at all.

Here's what you can do right now: find the catch-up line on your latest pay stub, and look at its tax coding. Does it say Roth? Is it even there? If your plan doesn't have Roth catch-up enabled, you have options, but you need to act before Q4 closes.
