I'm Paul, and I have been right where you are. I have a set of 13-year-old triplets, an 11-year-old, and a spouse with a demanding full-time career. Time is something you feel like you don't have, yet it also haunts you if you don't feel confident about some aspect of your finances. I get what you are going through, working extremely hard and watching the years go by swiftly because that is my life, too. That's why, when my triplets were born, I founded TAMMA. I saw firsthand how my family struggled with financial anxiety and the challenges and pressures it caused. This is one of the reasons I chose to become a financial advisor and build my firm: to help bring peace of mind to others. Now, I offer you that same path to financial health so you can achieve peace and security. Many busy families like yours are experiencing relief and confidence from obtaining a financial advisor in their corner, and you can too.

When I was 5 years old, I started going to work with my dad at one of his 7 diners. We’d get on the road around 6 AM. I was allowed a day-old doughnut from the freezer for breakfast – white-iced, raspberry jelly-filled was my go-to. He usually zapped it too long in the microwave, making the jelly in the middle piping hot. I was great at peeling hardboiled eggs, restocking the candy case, and tallying up carry-out receipts – I loved every minute of it! Dad always said my maiden name, Bassano, meant “hard-worker.” I firmly believe that tongue-in-cheek joke, along with my mom & dad’s entrepreneurial spirit, shaped who I am today. Whether it was graduating college as a double major with honors in 3 years, or cycling the US coast-to-coast in 9 weeks, I put my heart and soul into everything I do. I fully expect the same of myself if given the opportunity to be your financial advisor.

RetireMitten Financial specializes in helping family’s transition into retirement. We are also experts in cross-border financial planning, specifically helping families that have worked in both the U.S. and Canada. In order to help families realize their dream of a successful retirement, we go through a three-step process. Step 1: The Retirement Roadmap Initially, we go through a comprehensive retirement plan and goal setting process. What do you want your ideal retirement to look like? How do you envision spending your newfound free time? Great, let's put together a plan so that you can stop worrying, and start enjoying retirement. Step 2: The Retirement Paycheck Once goals are established, we now need to build an investment portfolio to help meet those goals. We believe in a cash-flow matching investment strategy. Cash-flow matching involves creating a monthly “retirement paycheck”, to help meet your goals. This allows you to feel comfortable generating a steady stream of income, regardless of the ups and down of the stock market. Step 3: On-going Planning and Support The initial plan and investment strategy are only the beginning. Things change a lot in retirement. The stock market, your goals, and your life are ever changing. So should your retirement plan. Our systematic approach to meetings allows us to consistently change your plan as soon as your goals change. That European river cruise you woke up last night dreaming about, let’s figure out how to make it a reality. Looking for a Stress-Free and Fulfilling Retirement? If you are looking for an experienced financial planner to help guide you through retirement, let’s talk.
