Our Clients

The Rankowitz Cilwik Financial Group serves a diverse group of clientele.

The team works with successful individuals and families as they prepare for and live in retirement.  From guiding young professionals seeking to build wealth to helping affluent families prepare to transition their wealth and values to future generations.  The focus is to guide families throughout their lives and help them achieve their financial objectives and life goals along the way.

Building and managing wealth

During the income-earning years, we help clients define their overall financial goals and build a financially stable foundation for the future. We help address all areas of concern including managing cash flow and liabilities; organizing savings and investments to align with life goals; minimizing potential income taxes; making decisions regarding life insurance, estate planning strategies and helping to build future wealth.



Common questions:

Planning for and living in retirement

The team works with pre-retirees and retirees to plan for and manage their retirement income. Strategies may include a combination of retirement income distribution approaches, such as coordinating portfolios with timing of when to start Social Security, bridging health insurance costs until Medicare begins, income tax planning strategies, and for clients who have accumulated more than they need for retirement, estate planning strategies to provide a legacy for their heirs are considered.
