Comprehensive Wealth Building Services with Full Transparency

Understanding what you’re paying for and the value we aim to provide.

At Saltiel Wealth Management, we believe financial planning should be straightforward, comprehensive, and work in your best interest. As your independent fiduciary* advisor in Sarasota, Florida, we provide guidance to help navigate financial decisions—from tax considerations and risk management to wealth building strategies.

Whether you’re a high-income professional working to maximize your earning years, a small business owner balancing growth with financial planning, a retiree working on retirement planning, or a high-net-worth family planning for future generations, our services are designed around your individual needs and goals.

Your assets are custodied at Charles Schwab, providing access to a range of investments, including alternative opportunities** when appropriate for qualified investors. We can also assist with 1031 exchanges** when suitable for your situation.

Our boutique practice approach helps us manage overhead so we can focus on providing you with personalized attention and guidance that works to put your interests first.

Fee-Only Financial Planning – $250/hour

Pay only for the time we spend working on your financial plan.

Most comprehensive financial plans may require 8-20 hours depending on your situation’s complexity. This covers planning areas from retirement and tax considerations to education funding and estate coordination.

If you also use our investment management services, overlapping work may reduce or eliminate these hourly fees.

Investment Management: Portfolios Built Around Your Individual Situation

Customized investment strategies for your specific needs.

Your investment strategy begins with understanding your situation, your risk tolerance, time horizon, goals, and financial concerns. We then work to build a customized portfolio with asset allocation and investment policy statements that serve as your roadmap.

As Investment Adviser Representatives with access to Charles Schwab’s platform, we may offer:

Core Holdings:

Mutual Funds & ETFs (seeking low-cost, diversified exposure)

• Individual Stocks & Bonds (when appropriate for your situation)

• Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)

• CDs & Preferred Stocks for income-focused strategies

Advanced Opportunities:

• Managed Accounts for sophisticated strategies

• Alternative Investments** for qualified investors seeking diversification when appropriate

• Direct holdings when suitable for your situation

Tax-Efficient Implementation

For high-net-worth households and retirees, we work to integrate tax considerations into planning decisions—from asset location strategies to tax-loss harvesting approaches. Small business owners may benefit from portfolios designed to complement their business situations.

Retirement Planning: Working Toward Your Retirement Goals

Planning for retirement income and lifestyle objectives.

Retirement planning involves more than accumulating assets—it’s about working to create income streams that may support your retirement lifestyle. Using Right Capital software, we can analyze multiple scenarios to help inform decisions.

Important: Software projections are hypothetical and not guaranteed.

What We May Cover:

• Cash Flow Planning That Considers Taxes: Different retirement income sources have different tax treatments

• Pension Analysis: Helping evaluate employer benefit options

• Social Security Optimization: Timing strategies that might help optimize lifetime benefits

• Medicare Surcharge Planning: Working to avoid unnecessary IRMAA penalties when possible

• Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) Strategies: Potentially helping manage tax impact while meeting IRS requirements

• Custom Action Plans: Step-by-step strategies tailored to your timeline

Whether you’re still accumulating wealth or already in retirement, we work to help you navigate tax considerations and explore withdrawal strategies designed to work toward optimizing your retirement income.

Important: We coordinate with your tax and legal professionals but don’t provide tax or legal advice ourselves.

Debt Management: Strategies for Different Types of Debt

Analyzing debt situations and exploring management approaches.

We help you analyze different types of debt and explore strategies that may help optimize your overall financial picture.

Our Approach May Cover:

• Mortgage Strategies: Analyzing when it might make sense to pay off early versus investing the difference

• Liability Management: Evaluating debt payments alongside investment opportunities

• Debt Consolidation Analysis: Determining if refinancing or consolidation might save money

• Debt Education: Understanding how different debts may impact your wealth building

This analysis may be particularly valuable for small business owners managing multiple obligations or high-income professionals evaluating investment opportunities alongside loan payments.

Education Planning: Working Toward Funding Future Education Costs

Exploring tax-efficient education savings approaches.

We help you navigate education savings options to explore approaches that may work for your family’s situation.

Education Savings Vehicles We May Analyze:

• 529 Plans: State-specific benefits and investment options

• Coverdell Education Savings Accounts: Potential tax advantages for qualified expenses

• UGMA/UTMA Custodial Accounts: Flexibility considerations with different tax implications

Our Process May Include:

• Comparing options based on your state’s potential tax benefits

• Developing age-appropriate asset allocation approaches

• Exploring available tax credits and deductions

• Creating funding strategies that may align with your other financial goals

Estate Planning Coordination: Working Toward Legacy Protection

Coordinating with your estate planning team for wealth transfer goals.

While we don’t provide legal or tax advice, we work with your estate planning team to help coordinate wealth transfer objectives.

How We May Help:

• Estate Tax Analysis: Identifying potential considerations for planning

• Beneficiary Review: Ensuring accounts have proper designations

• Gift and Estate Tax Coordination: Working to optimize annual exclusions and lifetime exemptions when appropriate

• Healthcare Cost Considerations: Planning approaches for potential healthcare costs in retirement

• Professional Coordination: Working with your attorneys and CPAs

For high-net-worth families, this may integrate with strategies like 1031 exchanges** for real estate holdings when appropriate.

Protection Planning: Comprehensive Risk Management Analysis

Identifying and addressing potential financial risks.

Risk management involves more than insurance—it’s about identifying potential threats to your financial planning and addressing them systematically.

Areas We May Review:

• Property Protection: Auto, homeowners, and umbrella coverage analysis

• Income Protection: Disability and life insurance evaluation

• Health Care Costs: Health insurance optimization and long-term care planning considerations

• Investment Risk: Portfolio protection and downside management approaches

• Annuity Analysis: When guaranteed income might make sense (and when it might not)

This approach may help retirees work toward asset protection and provide small business owners with strategies to potentially coordinate personal wealth and business planning.

Frequently Asked Questions

How exactly do your fees work when I use multiple services? When you use both financial planning and investment management services, the work often overlaps. For example, if I spend 3 hours on your investment policy statement as part of your financial plan, and you’re also an investment management client, those 3 hours typically won’t be charged separately. We discuss this during your consultation.

What kind of alternative investments** can you access? Through Charles Schwab and direct holdings, we may explore private REITs*, private equity opportunities*, and other alternatives**—but only when they may be appropriate for your risk profile and investment objectives. These aren’t suitable for everyone, but when they might make sense, they may add diversification.

Can you help with 1031 exchanges**? Yes, as part of comprehensive tax planning and real estate analysis, I can guide you through 1031 like-kind exchanges** for investment properties when appropriate. This may be particularly relevant for clients with real estate holdings.

Do you work with clients outside Sarasota? Yes, while I’m based in Sarasota, I work with clients throughout Florida and other states where registered using video meetings. Distance isn’t necessarily a barrier to financial planning.

What makes your boutique approach different? My home-based office structure allows me to work with fewer clients, which may mean each client receives more personalized attention. You work directly with me rather than through teams of support staff.

How do I know if your services are right for me? The best way to determine fit is through a complimentary consultation. We’ll discuss your situation, explain how our services work, and evaluate whether we might be a good match.
