Are Your Finances Ready for the New Year?

If you're not sure whether your financial strategy is as comprehensive as it could be, a checklist and your financial professional can help. Get a fresh start in the new year by reviewing the items on the list to see if you're on track.

Preventing and Surviving an Audit

The possibility of an IRS audit is typically unwelcome news for business owners. Recognizing the most common audit triggers may help you avoid them. But, if your business is selected for an audit, having all your information organized, with help from your tax advisor, can get you through it.

Power Surges: Are You Protected?

The lights flicker off, and your computer screen goes blank. When the lights come back on, your computer doesn’t. A power surge could be the reason.

Investing for Income

Income investing involves building a portfolio that produces enough profit to pay out a regular income. The success of this strategy depends on selecting investments that are likely to provide a steady stream of cash. Now that interest rates have increased, the yields on fixed income investments are climbing, too.

Top Reasons for Power Outage Increases

Power outages have been steadily increasing in the U.S., both in frequency and duration. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, electricity customers experienced slightly more than eight hours of power interruptions in 2020, up from 3.5 hours in 2013, the first year that data was collected.

Protect Assets with an Inheritance Trust

If one of your estate planning goals is to ensure assets remain in your family, an inheritance trust may be an option to consider. Leaving assets in a trust allows your children to keep inherited assets separate from marital assets and protects assets from creditors during financial hardship.

Home Mortgages

Whether you’re buying a house or you’re already a homeowner, your largest monthly payment generally is your mortgage. The upside is you’re building equity in your home.
