Our Story

Why We Focus Exclusively on Feds

After years of working with federal employees, we noticed something frustrating: most financial advisors treat FERS like any other retirement plan. They'll invest your money, but when you ask about survivor benefit calculations, the Special Retirement Supplement, or FEHB-Medicare coordination—you get blank stares.

That's why we earned our Chartered Federal Employee Benefits Consultant (ChFEBC℠) designation. It's continuous specialized training on the exact rules that govern your retirement. To maintain the ChFEBC we must take a test and pass so that we are always up-to-date on your retirement. Combined with our CFP® credentials, we bring both broad financial planning expertise and deep federal benefits knowledge.

The result? We've helped thousands of federal employees confidently navigate their retirement—from calculating exact pension amounts to optimizing TSP withdrawals to avoiding costly Medicare enrollment mistakes.

The PlanWell Difference

Why Federal Employees Choose Us

Your federal benefits are complicated. HR handles paperwork—not personalized advice. Most financial advisors lack federal expertise, leading to costly mistakes.

That's why we specialize exclusively in federal employees.

Federal-Only Focus

We don't try to be everything to everyone. Our entire practice is built around federal employees and their unique benefits. That specialization means deeper expertise and better outcomes.

Fiduciary Standard

We put your goals and interests at the forefront. Prioritizing your needs first, avoiding conflicts of interest, and fully disclosing any unavoidable conflicts.

Comprehensive Analysis

Our 22-page Benefits Report goes far beyond HR's estimate. We calculate precise pension amounts, analyze survivor benefit options, project TSP growth, and identify optimization opportunities.

Long-Term Partnership

We're not here for a one-time transaction. You'll have ongoing access to your advisor for questions, annual reviews, and strategy adjustments throughout your retirement.
