The TFP Approach: Simplicity. Advice-Focused. Flat-Fee.
I believe that financial advice should be clear, actionable, and free from conflicts of interest with a fair, transparent price.
FLAT-FEE
No commissions. No asset-based fees. No account minimums or pressure to move your assets. You’ll always know exactly what you’re paying—and what you’re getting. Transparent, objective advice for a fixed cost.
ADVICE-FOCUSED
TFP focuses on what drives results: objective, unbiased financial advice tailored to your situation. We help you make smart decisions on what you control – like How Much to Save, How to Reduce Taxes and How to Invest Effectively. No sales p[itches. No market bravado. No nonsense.
SIMPLICITY
Managing your personal finances doesn’t have to be complicated. While Wall Street thrives on jargon and complexity, TFP helps clients cut through the noise, focus on what matters, and understand the “why” behind every recommendation.
Simple and Accessible Strategies that Lead to Real Results.
Walmart Deferred Compensation
Matching Plan (DCMP)
The Walmart DCMP is the most effective tool for Walmart Executives to minimize their lifetime tax expense. Executives in high tax brackets AND approaching retirement can benefit tremendously from a strategic approach to the Walmart DCMP.
Walmart 401(k)
The Walmart 401(k) is a robust plan that provides both Traditional and Roth accounts, a generous 6% employer match, and access to low-cost investment options.
Walmart
Stock Holdings
For many Walmart Executives, a substantial portion of wealth is tied to Walmart stock. While diversification is crucial, it is important to execute the process thoughtfully and in a tax-efficient manner.
Taxes
For Walmart Executives, taxes are the largest expense. Fortunately, there are tools available, such as the Walmart DCMP and 401(k) Plan, designed to minimize lifetime tax expenses.
Promotion to Officer
Upon promotion from Sr. Director, new Officers experience increased complexity in their personal finances. The three most notable changes involve higher taxes, expanded access to the Walmart DCMP, and more equity compensation.
Investment Strategy
Executives often have wealth spread across various accounts such as 401k, DCMP, IRA and Non-Qualifed Accounts. It is crucial to consolidate these accounts under a thoughtful and unified investment strategy.
Walmart Employee Benefits
Walmart provides an extensive benefits program. The pivotal decisions often revolve around selecting the optimal Health Plan, Long-Term Disability coverage, and Life Insurance options.
Management Incentive
Plan (MIP)
The MIP (Management Incentive Plan) is an annual short-term cash bonus that fluctuates depending on both company-wide and individual performance.
Walmart Equity
Compensation
Walmart Executives often receive increasing compensation in the form of Walmart Stock as their careers advance. Without a proactive strategy, these infrequent and substantial stock infusions can lead to highly concentrated stock positions and unexpected tax liabilities.
Gifting to Charity
For many Walmart Executives, charitable gifting is an essential component to their financial plan. An effective strategy involves donating highly appreciated stock, such as WMT shares, to a charitable organization or Donor Advised Fund.
Early Retirement
Similar to professional athletes, Walmart Executives build wealth over a relatively short period. It is crucial to maximize these peak earning years to ensure sufficient funds for a comfortable and extended retirement.
