Everyone was courteous and friendly. The office was inviting, modern, & clean. The advice we received was very spot on and immensely helpful.
Working with Mic Shellenberger, Estate Plan Coordinator at McAdams Group has been an absolute pleasure and a very successful experience. Mic is a great professional and helped me with all my questions and he also brought up points for me to consider and think about. There are many things to consider in this process to get things right for me and my heirs and I feel very confident that we have covered everything necessary. I highly recommend McAdams Group and Mic Shellenberger to help you with any estate planning needs you have

It was a true pleasure working with Mic S in completing our Trust and WIll documents. Since moving three years ago, it had been on our To Do List and something that we were not looking forward to doing. Mic made it enjoyable and seamless as we completed the most important and meaningful document in our lives. We trusted Mic to include all of the necessary documents to protect our legacy and make it easy for our sons to execute our estate completely. Mic delivered!!Heartfelt thanks,Barbara and Michael Kania

I worked with Michael Simpson setting up a trust for my family. He was great to work with, very patient with my questions, very respectful, and prompt with any requests. I would recommend his services.
We have been very pleased with Mic’s help and guidance thru the process of setting up our estate plan and revocable trust. Without his assistance we would be hopelessly lost. Mic was very helpful in understanding our specific needs in a last will. It has been a pleasure to work with Mic. I would highly recommend Mic and McAdams.
Mike Simpson worked with us to create an estate plan that would serve us and our family well for our future. Each meeting that we had with Mike was efficient, concise and productive. Most, if not all, of our questions were answered before we needed to ask, and he was so good at identifying just how much he needed to explain – meaning, he met us where we were as far as our knowledge of this process. The process was efficient as well – sending information to us in advance that we needed to review prior to meetings as well as providing checklists and follow up in order to execute a successful plan. We highly recommend the McAdams Group and Mike Simpson to anyone who needs to create an estate plan that is best for them and their family.

I really appreciate the McAdams Group, specifically Michael Sims. He made the estate planning process for my family very easy. Even after our trust was established Mike and his team were still available to answer questions. They also have an online portal that you can access anytime to see your documents and provide access to those who are included in your directives. I highly recommend the McAdams Group for your estate planning.
This firm is fantastic! I had been dragging my feet in getting my estate planning in order. I had a bit of sticker shock to start with, but after going through the process, I am glad I decided to go with the McAdams Group. From the initial information gathering sessions to completion of the documents, the process was smooth and relatively painless. Having all of my documents available on the portal adds extra peace of mind. Mic Shllenberger was thorough, professional and easy to work with throughout. I highly recommend this team for getting all of these documents done professionally.
My wife and I attended every webinar and searched and interviewed at least two dozen retirement advisors in our last year before retirement.McAdams Group was somewhere in the middle of our search, but we kept coming back to them.David managed to make sense of all those convoluted financial concepts, that seemed incomprehensible when presented by other advisors.The biggest selling point though was that they did not offer a “one size fits all” solution.They actually listened to us and kept adjusting to our goals until we were all satisfied.Now, I am happy to report that while the markets go up and down, our balance is consistently up and ahead of inflation!Our only regret is that we did not contact McAdams while we were still working.Now I tell all my friends to get in touch with them as soon as possible and not when retirement is near.
McAdams group did a really great job with their Trust package. We really appreciate Mic Shellenberger for going step by step in developing our Trust booklet and provided guidance where we were confused. Thanks Mic and the company.
I’ve been working with Mike for a few months now and he has really been great! Putting stuff like this together is quite the process and maybe even a little intimidating for the average person, but Mike really breaks it down to simple terms and possesses a lot of patience and understanding. I like having all of our “Stuff” in one place so nothing is missed and communication does not get confused. Mike has offered referrals for other aspects of our finances and I’m looking forward to long-term relationship with him AND the McAdams Group.
Mic was very knowledgeable and made the ability to allow us to complete a Trust with ease. He had very valuable information on procedures needed and my wife and I found him very presentable.
Michael was very patient and helpful to me.

Our Combined 70 Years of Experience Will Help You Achieve a Lifetime of Financial Stability

Retirement Financial Planning

Factors such as inflation, taxes, and interest rates are often considered last when planning for retirement. As your retirement financial advisors, we provide you with a plan that analyzes all these factors first in relation to your post-work goals.

Estate Planning

Determining how to distribute the wealth you have accumulated and preserved gives you peace of mind as you reach your golden years. Enlist the aid of our highly trained advisors to help ensure meticulous planning for your money and other assets.

Tax Planning

You should know about the taxable portion of your Social Security and related retirement income tax liabilities. Your financial education should go as far as helping you reduce your tax burden. We are well-equipped to help you do so before you file your taxes.

Fiduciary Financial Advisor

Choosing a financial advisor to help you plan and save for retirement is one of the most important decisions you'll ever make. It is essential to find an advisor whose strategies are aligned with your needs. Another good idea when you’re looking for an advisor is to find one who is a fiduciary.

Investment Management

Our advisors will work with you to help provide the guidance and advice you need for strong long-term investment performance. We will help you create a strategy based on your specific goals and needs, with individualized help every step of the way.

Rollover IRA

When it comes to growing your money over the long term, studies have shown that tax advantage is a major benefit, which is why tax-advantaged Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and 401(k)s are so popular. But one of the most important aspects of owning an IRA or 401(k) is knowing the best ways to approach taking income or withdrawals from those accounts.

We Follow Our 7-Step Educational Process to Help You Achieve Your Financial Goals

Our first priority is helping you take care of yourself and your family. We want to learn more about your personal situation, identify your dreams and goals, and understand your risk tolerance. Long-term relationships that encourage open and honest communication have been the foundation of our success.

  1. Identify Lifetime Objectives & Strategies
    We don’t believe in a “cookie-cutter” approach. No two situations are alike. We tailor your financial strategies to assist you in achieving your specific lifetime goals and objectives.
  2. Determine Your Risk Profile
    How much of your money should be in the stock market? How much should be in more conservative investments? We believe in staying within your comfort zone rather than chasing short-term market returns.
  3. Understand All of Your Options
    Some advisors are not willing to spend the time to educate you. We believe an informed client is a good client. We believe peace of mind may come from understanding all your options.
  4. Build Your Portfolio
    Your personal preferences as well as your cash flow needs are some of the factors that determine your investment allocation. In building your model, we educate you about today’s more conservative income-generating investments, so you can make informed decisions.
  5. Optimize Your Investment Allocations
    If desired, we will help you allocate the equity portion of your investments in conjunction with modern portfolio theory and mean-variance optimization.
  6. Identify Tax Reduction and Asset Preservation Strategies
    Once your investment allocation is completed, we help coordinate your affairs. Our focus is on minimizing income taxes and future death taxes as well as helping to potentially protect you and your assets from healthcare expenses.
  7. Schedule Regular Reviews
    Last but certainly not least, we believe regular reviews will help you stay the course. Our firm’s success comes largely from our emphasis on client service. We strive to contact each of our clients at least four times a year.

We tailor our financial strategies to your individual needs and goals.
