From there, we assist our client with his/her personal wealth growth; we layout steps to provide for their children's higher education, research the best health plan coverages, structure a sound and rewarding retirement plan to last well into retirement, and if so sought, prepare the next generation to take over the reigns after the client retires.

If pressed to describe what we do in just a few words ... we are wealth builders for our clients..

That is what we believe, that is what we strive to do every business day.

Like you, we at Nugent & Associates have families we care about. We too have goals and desires for our family from education and investments to retirement planning. We, like you, have taxes to pay, expenses to monitor and growth to plan for our business. We, like you, strive to find every available tax deduction for ourselves and our family members. Like you, we look to ensure our parents are well prepared for retirement and our children are well prepared for college.

We consider our clients as family members too. We take it personally that it is our responsibility to help our clients pay the lowest taxes possible. We know their concerns for their children's education, and for their older children, buying that first home.

Some of our clients are aspiring young entrepreneurs, saddled with tens of thousands if not over $100,000 in student loans. We understand their concerns about a bright future while struggling with all that debt.

We have clients who own businesses and are ready to pass the baton to the next generation and are concerned for their children's success:

These are just some of the questions our clients raise to us. We recognize and appreciate that our clients, in these circumstances, look to us to help shepherd that next generation into a thriving environment once they take the reins from their parents while minimizing any tax consequences that may result in the transfer.

Some of our clients look to buy rental property and some another existing business. We understand and appreciate that they expect us to offer them hard and proven numbers as to the cost of acquisitions. We know the tax advantages and consequences need to be spelled out before they make a decision and we know they see us as the ones to provide them this information, accurately and timely.

We have clients with parents close to retirement age, or near retirement age themselves. We know they want to be able to fund their retirement as much as possible and we provide solutions to that end.

Some of our clients are in the throes of a growth explosion and critical, timely analysis is required. Every major transaction, every decision, every strategic plan needs to be monitored to test its effectiveness to their goals. We know all these thoughts and concerns of yours, because we, like you, share them about ourselves and family as well. We know what you are striving to achieve in life for you and your family, because we are you.
