Many retirement projections come from generic software. A plan built around your numbers takes more work, and that work is what the planning fee covers.
With a large balance in pre-tax accounts, the tax decisions made in the next five to ten years will determine more of your outcome than any investment return. That work requires a specialist. And specialists charge for the work.
The goal is simple. Build a plan around your numbers, help you avoid costly mistakes, and give you a clearer picture of your taxes before you decide what to do next.
