December 31 has a way of sneaking up on us.
And when it comes to tax planning, there are some decisions that are much easier to make before the year is officially over.

Daniel Hawthorne, CFP®, MS, put together a helpful year-end checklist covering everything from retirement contributions and Roth conversions to investments and charitable giving.

You may not need to check every box. But there might be one or two worth taking a closer look at before the calendar flips to 2027.

🍂 A new season is here.

After plenty of rain across the Midwest lately, we're ready for crisp fall days, changing leaves, pumpkin spice and everything else the season brings.

It’s also a good reminder that seasons change, priorities evolve and thoughtful planning can help you feel prepared for whatever comes next.

Here’s to a great fall. 🍁
