Marana is one of the fastest-growing towns northwest of Tucson, and its population spans two very different planning profiles: the Dove Mountain corridor's affluent retirees and second-home owners, and the younger professional families in Gladden Farms and Continental Ranch working at Raytheon/RTX and the town's growing aerospace and logistics base. For most Marana households, the question isn't whether they can afford to retire. It's whether their pre-tax accounts are being sequenced and converted in the most tax-efficient order before required distributions and Medicare surcharges remove that flexibility. That requires a coordinated retirement planning approach that integrates Social Security timing, Roth conversion strategy, withdrawal sequencing, and tax filing. Singh PWM delivers that on a flat-fee, fiduciary basis, with in-house tax preparation so strategy and filing are never siloed.

Marana's planning conversations split along geographic lines. Dove Mountain households, many affluent retirees or second-home owners drawn by the Ritz-Carlton resort community and golf, arrive with $2M-plus in investable assets, a mix of pre-tax IRAs, taxable brokerage, and sometimes concentrated positions, and estate and charitable considerations layered on top. Gladden Farms and Continental Ranch households skew younger, dual-income professional families working at Raytheon/RTX or the University of Arizona, with 401(k)s accumulating and equity or pension components that haven't been coordinated with a distribution plan. Town and school-district employees with ASRS pensions round out a third group.
For most Marana households, the decade from 55 to 65, the retirement red zone, is the single highest-leverage window in a financial life. It's when sequence-of-returns risk is mathematically at its worst, when the gap between work income ending and Social Security starting opens a low-bracket Roth conversion runway that closes once benefits and RMDs begin, and when Medicare IRMAA brackets begin to govern every income decision in your 70s. For Dove Mountain households at higher asset levels, these years also matter for surviving-spouse and estate coordination on a larger balance sheet.
Between retirement and the year you turn 73, you have a stretch of historically low-bracket years to move pre-tax dollars to Roth before required distributions force them out at higher rates. For a Marana household with $1.5M+ in traditional balances, the lifetime tax difference can be six figures.
For higher-net-worth households in Dove Mountain, a large traditional IRA becomes a surviving-spouse and estate tax problem if left uncoordinated. We model that transition years ahead and coordinate Roth conversions, beneficiary structure, and charitable strategy with your estate attorney.
Whether your income picture includes an ASRS pension or equity compensation, the order in which you draw from each account changes both your current tax bill and your long-term RMD trajectory. We model the multi-year tax curve before recommending a sequence.
On a $2M Marana portfolio, a 1% AUM fee is $20,000 in year one and grows with the portfolio every year, for advice that often doesn't change. Over a 25-year retirement, the difference between a percentage fee and a flat annual fee on the same plan is routinely six figures to several hundred thousand dollars of foregone growth. We charge a flat annual fee that doesn't scale with your assets, doesn't change because of a single decision, and never depends on selling you a product.
Marana clients range from affluent retirees and second-home owners in Dove Mountain to dual-income professional families in Gladden Farms and Continental Ranch working in the Tucson aerospace and university corridor, plus town and school-district employees with ASRS pensions. A common profile: a household with $1.5M–$4M in investable assets, either near retirement or several years out, with a pre-tax-heavy balance sheet and no coordinated plan for conversions, Social Security timing, and tax filing.
