Free Second Opinion for Your Financial Investment Plan

When it comes to doctors or financial advisors, some people are reluctant to seek second opinions—even when they have concerns. That’s unfortunate. A second opinion can be invaluable.

At MtM Financial Group, we offer free second opinions to help you determine if your existing portfolio is doing all it can to reach your goals. Even if your existing financial plan is achieving some level of success, we will explore ways to enhance it.

Free Second Opinion for Your Retirement Plan

Here are some of the questions you should be asking about your retirement plan:

  • Is your plan on track?
  • Will your money last your lifetime?
  • When should you start taking your Social Security benefits?
  • What should you do with your 401(k) in the current financial climate?
  • How should you take your pension benefits?
  • Will you be able to maintain your chosen lifestyle in your retirement years?
  • How do you make confident retirement decisions?

Free Second Opinion for Your Tax Preparation

Our MtM team of tax professionals is here to help you get on track. We can review your previous returns and discuss what can be improved. Interested in our services? Let’s talk about how we can help for this upcoming tax season.

Our income tax services include:

  • Federal, state and local tax return preparation
  • Year-round support
  • Tax services fully integrated with investment advice

Free Second Opinion for Your Social Security & Medicare Plan

Our trained and experienced advisors can answer all of these questions and more. In less than an hour, you will have a clear picture of your retirement challenges and opportunities. Call us today to schedule your appointment with our social security expert, Mark Bacak.

Free Second Opinion for Your Life Insurance and Long-Term Care

Do you have the right amount and type of life insurance? Will your loved ones get less than they should after you’re gone? Is a life insurance salesperson the right person to answer these questions?

At MtM Financial Group, we’ve partnered with one of the largest and most experienced groups of life insurance experts in the country: Ash Brokerage. Mike Pompei, expert from Ash Brokerage, will meet with you right here in our office to assess your existing insurance and explore options that could provide you with the same coverage at a lower cost or increase your death benefits for the same premiums. Call us today to schedule an appointment to see if we could save you or your family money.

Free Second Opinion for Your Wills and Estates

Do your wills still do what you really want them to do? Do you even have wills and trusts drawn up to protect those you love? Our trusted team at MtM Financial Group works with Lehigh Valley lawyers, like Keith Strohl of Steckel & Stopp Law Offices, who are skilled in issues of estate and elder law. These experienced professionals will meet with you in our offices, review your current documents and provide an honest assessment.
