Steven Melchiorri

I'm Rob Tucker, the founder of Tucker Wealth Advisory. I am a CFA® Charterholder. I spent 35 years in financial services after obtaining my MBA in Finance from Wharton. Having transitioned from life in large corporations, I am enjoying this phase of my career and the opportunity to help people chart their financial lives with confidence. I enjoy building relationships and hope that we have an opportunity to work together. Most recently, I have worked at BNY Mellon Wealth Management, JP Morgan and Bank of America/Merrill Lynch. I started my career as an engineer in the energy industry. I've got a quantitative edge. Numbers are important but are only part of the story, and I enjoy making complex topics simple and actionable for my clients. Born and raised in New York City, I have lived in New Jersey for many years where my wife Suzanne and I raised our two lovely daughters and now share our home with our rescue dog named Teddy. I look forward to meeting you and seeing what we can accomplish together. I listen carefully and provide a calm judgement-free environment with a strong quantitative approach. Pricing is flexible, with engagement options including project-based, hourly or on-going. Some of my services are: - Retirement Planning - Tax Planning - Investment advice - Retirement account analysis and strategies - Advice regarding Social Security and Medicare programs - Budgeting and cash management - Insurance reviews and analysis

I formed JSFA because I found it nearly impossible to do the right thing for clients when there is a complex corporate structure (and sales pressure) telling me what to do/not to do for clients. Let me be your guide to establishing a financial life plan that allows you to live life looking forward without fear. I do my best work with: • Recent (or soon to be) widow or widower. • Couples within 5 years (before or after) of retirement. • Total assets (excluding primary residence) of at least $1,000,000. • Your spouse handled all the money decisions; and now you need a guide to help you evaluate & prioritize financial decisions. • You need/want a thinking partner to help you clarify & organize your financial life. I do not work for an insurance company or investment firm. It’s just me and you. In fact, I will put in writing that I am a fiduciary and will put your interests first. I charge a fixed, flat fee for financial planning and investment management which is very different from most others in the financial business. Although I’m normally near the beach in Eastern Monmouth County, New Jersey or on a ski slope in Vermont, I can work remotely with clients regardless of geographic location.

We focus on helping you make the most of your retirement resources in a tax-efficient way. Our specialty is retirement income planning, aka decumulation planning…how to best live off your nest egg and other sources of retirement income. We take a comprehensive approach to optimizing all of your available resources to help you most effectively achieve your retirement goals. Our holistic process integrates cohesive consideration of Social Security benefits, pensions, investments, real estate, annuities, insurance, work wages, etc. to maximize your retirement income. Furthermore, we carefully consider tax-minimization throughout each step of our process. We provide ongoing tax-efficient retirement planning and investment management. Unlike most advisors, our fee is not a percentage of your investable assets. We feel that method often overcharges clients who have been diligent savers but who do not have complex financial lives. Instead, our fee is a fair and transparent fixed annual amount.
