Our Mission

“We want you to wake up each morning knowing that you are doing the right things with your money.”

At Boston Wealth Advisory Group, we leverage cutting-edge
technologies and institutional-quality resources to build custom financial
strategies and personalized investment portfolios that when combined
provide our clients with the confidence and conviction they need to
allow their plans to work.

Our Areas of Focus

Retirement Income Planning

When you retire and your regular paycheck stops, you'll need a strategy to help support your cash flow needs throughout retirement. Retirement Income Planning at our firm is about designing a personalized strategy with the goal of replacing your paycheck — working toward a sustainable income plan so you don't outlive your assets.

Goals-Based Investing

Goals-Based Investing is a tailored approach committed to building your portfolio to support your specific goals and objectives. It is the process of aligning your investment strategies with each goal’s timeline, risk tolerance, and required outcome, ensuring your plan is both personalized and focused. This method helps you stay on track, reduces impulsive decisions, and provides clear milestones to measure progress toward meaningful objectives.

Tax-Efficient Investing

Tax-Efficient investing is not just about reducing taxes in the short term—it’s a long-term, deliberate strategy to maximize wealth retention and improve after-tax returns, ensuring that more of your investment growth stays in your portfolio rather than going to taxes.

Pension Option Planning

Choosing the right pension option can be one of the most important financial decisions you’ll make, as it directly impacts your retirement income, lifestyle, and long-term financial security. Pension Option Planning evaluates your options in the context of your financial strategy to ensure you make the right decision for you and your family.

Risk Analysis and Management

Some investors don't fully recognize the risks they're taking with their investments until it's too late — often because they lack clarity on what they own and why they own it. This can lead to selling at the wrong time, eroding confidence, and missing opportunities for growth. We will work to ensure that your investments are aligned with your comfort level and provide you with regular monitoring and adjusting so that you are better positioned to protect your capital, pursue growth opportunities, and work toward your long-term financial goals.

Insurance Planning

“Everyone has a plan until they get hit” - Mike Tyson
Life Insurance and Long-Term Care insurance can play a vital role in your financial plan as it acts as a protective layer that can prevent unexpected events from derailing your ability protect your assets and provide for loved ones.

Family Wealth Protection Planning

Family Wealth Protection Planning is about building a comprehensive, long-term strategy to protect the assets you've worked so hard to accumulate throughout your lifetime — for the benefit of your family. The process begins with assessing your current financial situation, identifying risks, and defining long-term goals for those most important to you. From there, tailored strategies are put in place — drawing on legal structures, insurance, investment planning, and governance frameworks — with the goal of helping to preserve your wealth and support an organized transfer to the people that matter most to you.

Our Process

Step 1An Interactive Approach to Planning

Transform how you view your financial future.

Here are some common questions people ask us:

  • When Should I Start Taking Social Security?
  • Should I Save More?
  • Am I Paying Too Much In Taxes?
  • What If I Need to Go Into A Nursing Home?
  • Do I Have Enough Life Insurance?
  • And more...

Segment & Prioritize Goals

Divide your goals into needs, wants and wishes. Not all goals are equal. Prioritize your goals based on what is most important to you and address those items you may not be thinking of like healthcare and longevity.

Evaluate Your Resources

Evaluate the resources you have available to fund your goals; retirement income, pension and social security, investments, insurance, rental property, business interests and stock options.

Compare Multiple Scenarios

See how changing some of your expectations can impact your probability of success. Compare multiple scenarios to fine-tune your plan.

Step 2Understanding Your Risks In Up and Down Markets

Quantify Risk

It starts with an interactive questionnaire and a discussion about risk to determine your personalized risk number. Your risk number helps you identify how much risk you want and how much risk you need to take to reach your goals.

Pinpoint Misalignment

Determine the risk number of your current portfolio and evaluate this against your personalized Risk Number to identify imbalances in order to take corrective action.

Set Expectations

Gain confidence and make better more informed decisions by leveraging your Risk Number and 95% probability to set expectations for what range of potential gains or losses is normal for your portfolio to experience.

An objective, mathematical and Intuitive way to measure risk.
