What the Process Is Designed to Coordinate
The Beacon 360 Process helps organize the decisions that shape retirement—including income, investments, taxes, Social Security, Medicare, estate considerations, and family priorities—so you can understand what needs attention and in what order. It brings together three connected areas: investment management, retirement and financial planning, and tax-aware distribution planning.
