Most Executives Don’t Know What’s Waiting for Them at Retirement.

Most of our executive and professional clients had no idea what was in store for them tax-wise the day they planned to retire. As your money grows, in most situations, so do your tax liabilities. Because of compounding, every day you wait to analyze your plan may cost you more in taxation and fees. National Planning Associates helps you understand the hidden financial stresses you will face — and offers viable solutions that can make a difference of hundreds of thousands of dollars, while adhering to the Internal Revenue Code.

How We Help You Prepare.

We work exclusively in specialized areas of retirement planning that most advisors overlook.

Retirement Tax Liability Analysis.

We project what your tax picture will look like when you begin drawing on your savings, 401(k), profit-sharing plans, and other retirement accounts. We identify where your liabilities are growing before they become unavoidable.

Tax-Advantaged Income Planning.

We present you with options to maximize your retirement income streams using strategies that adhere to the Internal Revenue Code — helping you keep significantly more of what you have saved and invested over your career.

Ongoing Planning & Structured Guidance.

We build a structured, tangible plan that accounts for compounding, fees, taxation, and liquidity — so you have the financial means to act when opportunities arise, within a clear and sustainable framework.

What Our Clients Say.

Real feedback from executives and professionals who worked with National Planning Associates.

Jay is a terrific fellow to work with. He's knowledgeable and shares that knowledge in an understandable way. I worked with him as I transitioned from full-time work to retiree status. I was presented with options to maximize my retiree streams of income, but never pressured and we built a great plan for myself and my 2 daughters. I appreciate his guidance and highly recommend him.

Leila E., MD

Retired from The Permanente Medical Group

Jay's retirement analysis service did a nice job of projecting out what my tax picture would look like, where I was headed with income scenarios, taxes, fees and other expenses. It was an eye opener. There's a lot to it. I have a good chunk in my Profit Sharing and 401(k)s, and always wondered how that's gonna shake out with the government.

Peter Yellin, MD (Retired), CEO

Virtual Treatment Practice

I urge you to heed this message. Jay has helped me develop a tangible and structured plan. And you know I have now and will have increasing amounts of tax-advantaged cash that is also very liquid. So when I see an opportunity I've got the means to get in and stay within my framework. Numbers don't lie.

Jay, I love that you listen so well and each time I express a concern you examine it and offer alternatives. That is true customer service, and plain old caring.

Frequently Asked Questions.

What exactly does National Planning Associates do?
We specialize in retirement tax planning for executives and professionals. We analyze your full retirement picture — including 401(k)s, profit-sharing plans, and other accounts — to identify hidden tax liabilities and present legal strategies to reduce them under the Internal Revenue Code.
Who is this service best for?
Our clients are typically executives, physicians, and other high-earning professionals who have spent decades building retirement savings and are approaching or transitioning into retirement. They want to understand and reduce the tax burden on those assets before it is too late to act.
Is there any cost for the initial consultation?
No. We offer a free, no-obligation 30-minute retirement tax analysis call. You will speak directly with a senior planner who will review your situation and explain how we may be able to help.
Do I need to be located in Florida to work with you?
No. All of our consultations are conducted by phone or Zoom. We work with clients across the United States.
What is a fiduciary financial planner?
A fiduciary is legally obligated to act in your best interest at all times — not the interest of a brokerage, insurance company, or product provider. At National Planning Associates, the client, and only the client, is our priority.
How soon should I start planning?
The sooner the better. Because of compounding, every day you wait to analyze your retirement tax situation may cost you more in taxation and fees. We recommend scheduling a call as early as possible so we can assess your position and identify options while you still have time to act.
