“For the past 29 years, I have helped families plan successful futures. It’s a source of pride.”

— John Posey


At Posey Bass Financial Group, we’re a diverse team of insightful investment managers who share one goal—to deliver what our retired and pre-retired clients need most today. We focus on providing purposeful planning and investing to help you enjoy and maintain the retirement you’ve earned.

Our approach is straightforward. We look at both sides of your personal balance sheet—and then we look beyond your finances to where we believe you may benefit from more personalized advice or a better strategy. We want you to feel confident that your plan is on track and you’re in control as we work together.

At the end of the day, we understand that earning your confidence and trust requires integrity in all decisions, prudence in our approach and accessibility at all times.

Whether you’re looking to create a comfortable income stream, establish a tax-efficient estate plan or sell your business, we can help ensure a smooth transition into the next phase of your financial life for generations to come.


“When I analyze a portfolio, I always remember that there’s a family behind the numbers.”

— William A. Bass III



Assessing your needs

We team up from the start

You have dreams, goals and concerns that are yours, alone. It makes sense, then, to start our process with a conversation. Once we understand what you want to accomplish with your wealth, we review your assets to establish a starting point, and help you organize your finances to provide a base upon which we can move forward together as a team.

Getting to know you

During our first meeting, we develop a personal profile of you that helps direct everything we do. This includes:

  • Your most important priorities and goals
  • Your concerns and challenges
  • The values that inspire you
  • The legacy you want to leave
 
Reviewing your finances

A comprehensive audit of your personal balance sheet tells us where you stand today and begins to inform our recommendations. During this process, we work with you to determine:

  • All of your assets and liabilities
  • How closely your current finances match your stated goals
  • The level of risk you’re comfortable with when it comes to your financial strategy
 
Getting organized

We can help you gain better control of your finances with strategies that organize and simplify, including:

  • Help consolidating your account, keeping investment, credit and everyday cash management in one place
  • Help with proper asset and account titling
  • An assessment of your current insurance coverage

Your financial plan

A road map to helping you pursue your goals

Our role in helping you preserve and grow your wealth is one that we take very seriously. We offer a structured and collaborative process that taps some of the best thinking in the industry. The result is a balanced and comprehensive financial plan that points you toward your goals.

Funding a long and secure retirement

“Will I be able to retire comfortably?” It’s perhaps the number one question our clients ask us. With experience in retirement and lifetime income planning, we can help you evaluate options for preserving your lifestyle and livelihood in retirement. We offer:

  • Strategies that help you evaluate how long you will need to draw funds in retirement and prepare you for unexpected expenses
  • An assessment of your potential retirement cash flow, income sources and investments
  • The ability to help you maximize employer and Social Security benefits
  • A thorough audit of your current insurance policies such as life, long-term care and disability to help protect you against rising healthcare costs
 
Setting up your estate and legacy

You want to feel confident that the wealth you’ve accrued will benefit the people and causes you care about. Working with your attorney or one of the attorneys in our network, we simplify estate planning with strategies that:

  • Navigate tax issues and complexities surrounding the establishment of trusts, family foundations, philanthropic causes and gifting
  • Include your children and other beneficiaries in the planning process so they can preserve the wealth you leave
  • Help you plan an orderly transfer of business ownership, while protecting the interests of you and your family
 
Transitioning or expanding your business

During periods of business transaction and transition, having all the facts is essential to making educated financial decisions. Our team can help guide you through:

  • Understanding the risks and opportunities of expanding your business by looking at your entire financial picture, including tax planning strategies, retirement plans, cash management, private capital sourcing and investments
  • Assessing the value of your business to a potential buyer through detailed cash flow modeling that illustrates what it would look like to sell to a strategic buyer, sell to a financial buyer, utilize a dividend recap or sell to an ESOP
  • Developing a tailored plan to transition from a K-1 distribution or salary to living comfortably off your investment income
