He had the retirement number in his head. His business didn't have it in the bank.
58 y.o. Dental Practice owner, came to us confident he could retire in 5 years.
The "gap" nobody told him about:
His retirement plan required far more investable assets than his practice was likely to generate after taxes, debt payoff, and transaction costs.
The problem was that he had never connected his retirement goal to the actual value of his practice.
The good news? He discovered the gap early.
After determining how much his practice was worth, we found areas where he could grow that value and still had time to implement a tax strategy.
The biggest risk isn't having a gap.
It's finding out about it too late.
