Tactical Financial Assessment℠

See the decisions before they become deadlines.

A focused review of the retirement decisions that touch each other. Four written documents. Yours to keep.

The decisions do not arrive alone.

SBP, TSP, taxes, benefits, and civilian pay affect one another. The assessment puts them in sequence before the important windows close.

Four documents. Yours to keep.

Decision Map
The major financial decisions in your transition window, shown together with their dependencies.
Deadline Inventory
The deadlines, difficult-to-reverse choices, and dates that need attention.
Records Readiness Checklist
The records Joshua needs before he can analyze each decision.
Summary Memo
Joshua's written summary of the priorities, open questions, and next steps.

A simple four-step engagement.

1
Gather
You complete a secure fact-finder and upload documents. About 45 minutes of your time.
2
Analyze
Joshua analyzes how your decisions interact and builds your Decision Map and deliverables.
3
Debrief
A 60-minute meeting, spouse strongly encouraged, walking through the findings in plain English.

The fee

Fixed-fee, standalone.

The assessment is a complete, standalone engagement, billed once under a signed engagement letter. The deliverables are yours to keep, whatever you decide next.

What to expect
You will receive your Decision Map, Deadline Inventory, Records Readiness Checklist, and Summary Memo within five business days of your debrief. If anything is unclear, we will clarify it in a follow-up call.

Before you decide.

Do I have to buy anything else after this?
No. The deliverables are yours. Many families use the assessment as a standalone checkpoint.
What if my situation is simple?
Joshua will tell you on the front end. If a written review would not add enough value for your situation, you will hear that before an engagement begins.
Can we do this before my retirement date?
Yes. Earlier is better. Several transition decisions are strongest when made 12 to 24 months out.
