About us
Am I doing the right thing with my money? Should I be saving more? Investing differently? How can I use my money to make an impact on the world? Am I ready for retirement? Can I make a career change? At Spark Financial Advisors we provide fiduciary, Fee-Only advice to help solve problems and guide clients through life transitions. We believe that by partnering with clients we can help them live a more meaningful and secure life. We also provide Fee-Only 401(k) plan services to small business owners. Many small business 401(k) plans are too expensive, offer sub-par investment options, and zero participant education. With Spark Financial Advisors we help you offer an employee benefit your employees will truly appreciate that helps you maximize your savings and tax-deferral, as well.

In a world that never stops moving, it's okay to pause. 🪷 This #WorldMentalHealthDay, remember rest is not a reward, it's essential. You are worthy of peace, time, and care. We encourage you to take time to do things that make you happy, because you are more than your productivity.

Considering whether to stick with your SIMPLE IRA or switch to a 401(k)? The clock is ticking as SIMPLE IRAs have specific employee notification requirements and have to be terminated on a calendar year cycle. Here are some things to think about: 1. Lower Contribution Limits: SIMPLEs have lower contribution limits than other plans, which might not be enough for your retirement savings goals. 2. No Roth Option: SIMPLE IRAs don't offer a Roth option, limiting your tax planning flexibility. 3. On the flip side, SIMPLEs are easy to administer. Alternatives like SEP IRAs or Solo 401(k)s can offer higher contribution limits and more flexibility when it comes to employee contributions. We can help you explore other options that better serve your retirement saving goals!
