Your Presenter
Zachery Smith | Premier Financial Group
I knew I wanted to be a financial advisor when I was seventeen after I saw first-hand how impactful a financial advisor can be in a family’s life. Once I graduated from Northwood University in 2020 with my Bachelor’s in business Management, I started working with a firm in Mount Pleasant to start my career as a financial advisor. After gaining experience, I partnered with my father-in-law in May of 2022. Since then, David and I have helped many clients with their financial futures, and we are excited to continue making an impact in our clients lives.
I personally look at this career as what I was called to do. Through my life experiences, I have been able to translate that into a passion to help others in any way I can. My main goal when a client leaves a meeting with me, is to feel as though they gained value or are better off from having that conversation.
There's no better time to reevaluate your tax and retirement income plan to help ensure you won't outlive your money. At this seminar, we'll discuss:

- Dealing with Stealth Taxes: Identifying and managing tax implications in retirement planning.
- Retirement Income Planning: Learn ways to help optimize your retirement strategies, decide between tax-deferred and tax-free accounts, and potentially minimize taxes.
- Filing at the Right Time: Explore how your age at filing can significantly affect your monthly benefits.
- Spousal and Survivor Benefits: Maximize benefits for married, divorced or surviving spouses.
