What Is WealthPath

Main Logo of WealthPath CPA

WealthPath was built on proactive, year-round tax strategy. We don’t wait until April of next year to tell you what could have been, or what you missed. We build comprehensive tax strategies for retirees and pre-retirees, that optimize the opportunities retirement provides, and mitigates the risks that come with it.

Simply put, the WealthPath Retirement Tax System reduces lifetime tax waste, protecting your hard earned wealth so it can be put to a more meaningful purpose. Whether you work with a financial advisor, had a single consultation with a retirement counselor through work, or are simply hoping you have enough assets to support retirement, our comprehensive tax plan helps you pay as little tax as possible in retirement, and allows you to enjoy retirement without ever worrying about income taxes again.

Here's what you get with WealthPath CPAs & Advisors:

✅ Proactive Retirement Tax Planning: We don’t wait until tax season to tell you what happened. We help you plan ahead, identify tax opportunities early, and make informed retirement decisions before the year is over.

✅ Long-Term Tax Strategy: Retirement tax planning must look many years ahead to effectively capture opportunities, and mitigate risks. We build strategies around retirement income, Roth conversions, RMDs, Social Security taxation, Medicare thresholds, charitable giving, and legacy goals.

✅ Retirement Income Coordination: We don’t follow a standard withdrawal structure. We help coordinate taxable, tax-deferred, and tax-free accounts to support your lifestyle while managing current taxes and future tax exposure.

✅ No-Surprise Tax Projections: Know where you stand before filing season begins. We project your tax picture throughout the year so you can manage withdrawals, Roth conversions, withholding, and other income decisions with greater confidence.

✅ 1-on-1 Advisory Relationship: You work directly with a CPA who understands your retirement goals, income needs, account mix, family priorities, and long-term tax concerns — not a rotating cast of preparers who only show up in April.

✅ Quantified Recommendations: We don’t tell you to take our word for it. We put numbers behind our advice so you can understand the projected tax impact, cash flow effect, and long-term value of each planning recommendation.

✅ Responsive Year-Round Support: No more feeling ignored until deadlines approach. Our clients receive timely communication and ongoing support as retirement decisions arise throughout the year.

✅ A True Retirement Tax Partner: WealthPath is built for those who want more than tax compliance. We provide the guidance, structure, and strategy to help you protect your wealth, preserve your legacy, and make confident decisions throughout retirement.

Common Questions

I already have a CPA, is this different?

Unlike WealthPath, most CPAs don’t do proactive tax planning. They meet with their clients once, or maybe twice, a year, prepare, and file their tax returns. Our proactive approach includes scheduled touchpoints during the year, detailed tax projections so you know where you stand throughout the year, and specialized strategy implementation before the year is over, and it’s too late.

If your current CPA handles your tax preparation and filing, you can absolutely continue working with them. Each of our service models comes with tax preparation, so if you also want a new team for tax prep, we do that too, but only for clients building proactive strategies with us.

Many wealth advisors only handle investments, and generalized financial planning. Even wealth advisors that provide comprehensive financial planning recommend that you work with a CPA for tax planning and preparation.

At WealthPath, we aren’t a replacement to your wealth advisor. We work directly with your wealth advisor to make sure investments, financial planning, and tax planning are all in sync.

The potential savings depend on your account mix, income sources, retirement timeline, tax brackets, and implementation. For households with meaningful retirement assets, the value of coordinated tax planning can be substantial, especially when Roth conversions, RMD planning, Medicare thresholds, and survivor tax exposure are optimized.

A simplified example of how we save you money:  Let’s assume your future RMDs would push you into the 32% bracket. We utilize some of funds subject to RMDs ahead of RMD age with regular distributions or a Roth conversion when you’re in the 22% or 24% bracket. Since we are using those funds at a lower tax rate, you’re saving 8%-10% on that one transaction. Assuming that distribution or conversion is for $100,000, that’s $8,000 – $10,000 in federal tax savings on a single transaction. And that’s just scratching the surface of what we can do.

From information gathering to implementation, we offer white glove service from start to finish. Our action item delivery process is simple:

  1. If we can do it for you, we will.
  2. If we can’t do it for you, we’ll do it with you.
  3. If you prefer to do it alone, we’ll confirm you completed it.

In most situations, if you provide us with consent to work with them, we will request information directly from your wealth advisor or other financial professionals, and communicate results with them directly. We’re here to give you more freedom in retirement, not add extra stress to it.

To allow us to work with and help retirees from around the country, we have built a secure, fully-virtual delivery process. From industry-leading video conferencing solutions, to a fully-encrypted client portal featuring online and mobile app access, our process makes it simple to work with us wherever you live or are currently traveling to.

On top of this, we offer the same white glove service as we do with our advice delivery. If you don’t feel confident with technology, we will walk-through our process together from start to finish, to make sure you are comfortable using our system.
