Financial Advisor in Hillsdale, MI
Wealth management for Hillsdale families
Hillsdale is a college town and county seat with a distinct financial rhythm: Hillsdale College anchors the economy and the identity, its faculty and staff carry 403(b) retirement plans, and the surrounding county runs on manufacturing and farmland that has been in families for generations.
We serve Hillsdale-area households about 40 minutes south of Marshall — sorting out college retirement accounts, planning manufacturing and small-business retirements, and helping farm families turn land into a workable retirement without a tax surprise.
About 40 minutes from our Marshall office via M-99. ZIP code served: 49242.
Planning realities we know in Hillsdale
Hillsdale College retirement plans
College 403(b) plans come with vendor choices and contract quirks — and at TIAA, account versions whose withdrawal rules vary widely. We map exactly what you hold and build a retirement income plan around what your contracts actually allow.
County manufacturers and small business
Hillsdale County's manufacturers and Main Street businesses build real 401(k) balances and, eventually, succession questions. We handle the rollover decisions, the drawdown order, and the tax side of selling or passing on a business.
Farm and rural land planning
Much of Hillsdale County wealth lives in acreage. With a CPA on staff, we model rent-versus-sell-versus-succession with real tax numbers before the family meeting — not after.

Do you understand college and TIAA retirement plans?
Yes — 403(b) and TIAA planning is a specialty of ours, including the TIAA Traditional versions with multi-year withdrawal schedules that surprise people at retirement. We check which version you hold before building your income plan.
Is Hillsdale within your service area?

Can you help with a farm or business transition?
That is core work for us. Between our in-house CPA and our planning team, we structure the transition, manage the tax hit, and turn the proceeds into reliable retirement income.
