A Tax Return Isn’t a Tax Strategy
An important part of your financial plan is understanding how your income and assets impact your tax liability.
You should be asking important questions like:
- Am I paying too much in taxes?
- What tax strategies should I be considering?
- Will I be in a lower tax bracket during retirement?
- How much tax liability do my investments create?
- Will a tax projection help me reduce my tax liability?
We can help you identify opportunities within the tax code to maximize your tax efficiency, so you only pay what’s required. We’ll also coordinate with your tax preparer when necessary.
Tax Implications May Greatly Impact Your Financial Goals.
Are you paying the right amount in taxes? Do you really know?
You are diligent about preparing your annual taxes. You work with a tax preparer to find deductions and maximize your tax return. But what about next year? And the year after that?

Know Exactly What You Pay Your Financial Advisor—And Why.
When creating a tax strategy and plan, it’s important that you receive objective advice that’s truly in your best interest.
Unlike other advisors who mask their planning fees with seemingly marginal percentages, or make commission from the sale of products, we operate from a core belief: our primary focus is to enhance your wealth, not ours.
That’s true fiduciary responsibility.
Transparent Fee-Only Structure
We charge a clear fee for the time and resources it takes the do the planning work required.
Dollars, Not Percentages
We believe it’s unfair to pay more simply because you’re worth more. That’s what a percentage-based fee does. Our fixed-dollar fees reflect our work, not your net worth.
No Commissions
We don’t receive compensation for the sale of securities, insurance products, or other investments.
No Performance-Based Fees
Performance-based compensation creates an incentive for advisors to recommend riskier investments.
No Hidden Costs
We don’t pay referral fees to third-parties, participate in wrap-fee programs, or charge fees for work we don’t perform.

Some firms make money from referral fees. Not at PDS. The only person who pays us is you.
