Ep #124: Why I Recommend A Financial Second Opinion, And What To Look For

You've ordered hundreds of second opinions in your career. Have you ever gotten one on your financial plan?

In Episode 3, Jared makes the case for a financial second opinion. Financial services are built in silos: your CPA handles compliance, your advisor handles investments, your attorney handles the estate plan. Each does their piece well. Nobody's looking at how the pieces interact, and that's where the money leaks.

Jared walks through the four areas a real second opinion should cover (entity structure, retirement plan design, tax strategy, and investment allocation), and works through a scenario where an $850,000 surgeon's second-opinion review surfaces a cash balance plan opportunity, a SEP restructuring, and uncoordinated tax-loss harvesting worth $50,000 to $80,000 in year one, and over $400,000 across a decade.

Then he gives you three questions to ask before you sit down with anyone offering a "second opinion": what's their motive, will the findings be specific, and will they respect your existing team.

Capably Yours, Jared
