As Seen On:

“How We Help You Keep More of What You Earn”

Most people follow the crowd — contributing to 401(k)s or IRAs, crossing their fingers, and hoping for the best. But what they don’t see are the hidden costs: market risk, management fees, and future tax traps.

We help you avoid these:

01

02

03

Market Volatility

Fear of losing retirement savings during market downturns. Anxiety from watching account alances fluctuate with every economic headline.
Lack of control over how investments are performing. Uncertainty about whether their money will last through retirement. “I’m too close to retirement to risk another crash like 2008”

Fees

Frustration over hidden advisor or management fees eating into returns. Not realizing how even a 1% fee can erase years of income over time. Confusion about what they're actually paying for — and whether it's worth it. Feeling trapped in fee-heavy accounts with limited flexibility “Why am I paying fees even when my account is losing money?”

Taxes

Concern about paying high taxes on 401(k) or IRA withdrawals in retirement. Lack of clarity on how to create a tax-efficient income strategy. Fear of rising future tax rates eating into retirement income. No plan to manage RMDs (Required Minimum Distributions). “I saved all this money... now I have to give a chunk of it to the IRS?”

There’s a Better Way!!!

Let me show you how to grow and protect your money — with control, flexibility, and security.

Traditional Approach

  • Tax-Deferred (pay taxes later at unknown rates)

🤔 Who Can Benefit From ERFT

  • You’re in your 40s, 50s, or early 60s and want to retire with peace of mind

  • You’ve saved money but worry about taxes eating into your retirement

  • You want more control, more security, and fewer surprises

🔎 Why Haven’t I Heard This Before?

As many people out there that haven’t heard of Tax-Free Options, there are a ton of people that have and are actively utilizing them. These really aren’t new concepts. They’ve been around since the late 90s and have continued to evolve for the better.


Most traditional advisors stick to conventional tools like 401(k)s, IRAs, and mutual funds. We focus on the side of finance that eliminates risks, fees, and taxes, using strategies the top 1% have used for decades, and make them accessible to everyday families.

Frequently Asked questions

Is this a tax-free, or is that just a marketing term?

Yes — when structured properly, these strategies follow IRS rules that allow your money to grow and be accessed 100% tax-free. We don't bend the rules — we simply use tools the wealthy have relied on for decades, made available to everyday families.

I already have a 401(k). Why would I need something else?

A 401(k) is tax-deferred, not tax-free — which means you'll pay taxes later, potentially at higher rates. You also don't want to gamble your retirement to the volatility of the market. Our strategy helps you diversify your tax exposure, reduce future tax risk, access your money without penalties or age restrictions, and protect your principal.

What kind of results can I expect?

Everyone’s results vary based on age, contributions, and goals — but our clients often see 30–40% more capital preserved by avoiding unnecessary taxes, fees, and market losses. We walk you through real projections based on your specific numbers.

Is this safe? What’s the risk?

Yes — our strategies prioritize principal protection. That means your money isn’t exposed to market downturns. You’ll never lose a dime due to a stock market crash, and your plan is designed for long-term stability and control.

Is there a fee to work with you?

Our guiding principle is to eliminate risks, fees and taxes. We want to stay true to who we are and that's why we don't charge any fees.

I already have a Financial Advisor?

That's great. But we specialize on the Tax-Free side of finance. We specialize in helping people (Eliminate Risk, Fees & Taxes). A typical advisor, if you think about it, actually does the complete opposite. They actually Add Risk, they Add Fees, & they Add Taxes simply based on their specific focus. We’re all in the same industry, but just a very different focus and specialty.

How do I get started?

Just book a free 15-minute call. We’ll go over your current setup, your goals, and let's see if this can even apply to you.
