Retirement strategies.

 

Build a future you can count on—for yourself, your family, and your team.

Built for family-owned, service-based businesses.

At Canyon Oak Financial, retirement planning goes beyond replacing your own paycheck. For business owners, it also means making sure your employees, partners, and family members are supported. That includes planning for your personal retirement income, positioning your business for transition, and structuring retirement benefits that attract and retain the right people. We’ll help you connect every piece.

What you can expect:
  • A clear income plan so you know where your personal retirement paycheck is coming from

  • Tax-efficient distribution strategies to keep more of what you’ve earned

  • Integration of retirement accounts, Social Security, and business equity into one plan

  • Guidance on designing and managing employee retirement plans (401(k), SIMPLE, SEP, cash balance)

  • Succession and transition planning that protects both your lifestyle and your team

  • Ongoing adjustments as your business, family, and workforce needs evolve

Common questions:

How much do I need to retire?

It depends on your lifestyle, goals, and resources. We create projections, stress-test different scenarios, and build a roadmap so you know what’s required to retire securely.

Can you help if most of my wealth is tied up in my business?

Yes—we integrate business valuation, liquidity options, and retirement account savings so you can step away when you’re ready without being “locked in” to the business.

Do you help with retirement plans for employees?

Yes—we guide you in selecting and managing the right plan for your team (401(k), SIMPLE, SEP, or others), making sure it aligns with your tax strategy and supports both your people and your bottom line.
