Powell sits north of Dublin along the Olentangy, built around a small downtown crossroads and the neighborhoods spreading out toward the Columbus Zoo and the Olentangy school district. Households here tend to be a few years further along than the newer subdivisions to the west: peak earnings behind them, a paid-down house, and the beginning of real questions about when work becomes optional.
Local retirement picture
The employers and retirement plans we see most often from Powell households. These are the details that decide when you can retire and what you keep.
Nurses, technicians and administrators across the system's central Ohio campuses generally hold a 403(b), and physicians often have supplemental deferred compensation alongside it. The order those are drawn from changes the lifetime tax result considerably.
A long insurance or financial services career frequently ends with company stock accumulated slowly over decades. It rarely feels like a concentrated position because it was never bought all at once, which is exactly why it goes unaddressed.
One of the district's larger employers in the area. Ohio teaching retirements involve service credit purchases and payout elections that are effectively permanent, and are worth modeling while there is still time to change course.
Employer plans are described in general terms. Your own benefits, elections and deadlines govern, and we review them directly rather than assuming.

Questions
The withdrawal order, ahead of everything else. Which account you spend from first, and in what proportion, moves your lifetime tax bill more than most investment decisions do. The years right around retirement, after the paychecks stop and before required distributions begin, are usually the widest window you will ever have for conversions and harvesting at favorable rates.
On a set calendar, which is what makes the distance a non-issue. We agree up front on how often we meet, those meetings happen by video, and your advisor and CPA are on the same call. Some Powell clients come to Cincinnati once a year and pair it with something else they were doing in town; others prefer that we come to them. Either works.
The safe number is whatever leaves your own plan intact through a bad decade, and that has to be calculated from your situation rather than a percentage. Once we have that figure, the question becomes structure: outright gifts, education funding and trusts have different tax and control consequences, and the difference matters more than the amount for some families.
