What Changes When Everything Works Together

Most advisory firms do one thing well and outsource the rest. At United Financial Planning Group, your investment decisions, retirement timeline, and tax planning reinforce each other, because the same team handles all three.

CFP® professionals, CPAs, and Enrolled Agents work side by side, not across town. Hover over a service to see how it connects to your complete financial picture.

Why Stony Brook Professionals Choose United

Stony Brook University and Medical Center anchor this community, creating a concentration of faculty, researchers, and healthcare professionals with specialized financial planning needs.

403(b) and TIAA-CREF optimization

University faculty and hospital employees often have complex 403(b) plans through TIAA. We analyze your allocation, fee structure, and withdrawal options to make sure your retirement savings are working as hard as you are.

Equity compensation for biotech professionals

Stony Brook's emerging biotech corridor means more professionals with stock options, RSUs, and startup equity. We model exercise timing, AMT exposure, and diversification strategies specific to your situation.

Physician retirement and deferred compensation

Senior physicians and medical professionals at Stony Brook Medicine often have complex deferred compensation, supplemental retirement plans, and partnership income. We coordinate these alongside your 403(b) and personal investments for a unified retirement strategy.

Tax planning and investing under one roof

Our team includes both CFP® professionals and CPAs, so your investment decisions, Roth conversions, and tax return are all coordinated, so you're not paying two professionals who never talk to each other.

Fee-only, always

We don't earn commissions or sell products. Every recommendation is legally required to be in your best interest.

The University Employee Advantage

Stony Brook University and Medical Center employees have access to retirement plans that most advisors don't fully understand, including TIAA traditional annuities, CREF variable accounts, and supplemental 403(b) options. The difference between optimal and default allocation can mean hundreds of thousands of dollars over a career. Our team specializes in modeling these options alongside your full tax picture.
