"I had a fantastic experience with Iowa Retirement Benefits and Solutions! The team was super friendly and really knew their stuff when it came to retirement planning. They took the time to explain everything clearly and answered all my questions without any rush; I felt like they genuinely cared about finding the best solutions for me. The whole process was smooth and easy, thanks to their great support. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to sort out their retirement plans!"

A Roadmap to Retirement

Retirement is one of life’s biggest journeys. Our job is to help you travel it with confidence, clarity, and purpose. With the right map in hand, you’ll know exactly how to get from today to the retirement you’ve been working toward. Here’s what the road looks like:

Schedule a Meeting
Step 1
Meet & Greet
Let’s decide if we are a good fit for each other

This first meeting is about you and your story. We’ll talk about:

  • What planning you’ve done so far

  • What’s currently in place

  • Your goals, worries, and priorities

And of course, we’ll leave plenty of room for your questions. Think of it as a no-pressure, “let’s get to know each other” conversation.

Step 2
Our Analysis
Turning Questions Into Clarity

Behind the scenes, we’ll dig into your situation and connect the dots you may not even know you’re missing.

  • We’ll analyze potential roadblocks to your retirement (market, taxes, healthcare, longevity, inflation, and more)

  • We’ll create a clear picture of where you stand today

You’ll get a plain-English report that shows what’s strong and where adjustments could save you time, money, and stress.

Step 3
Follow-Up
Your Retirement Roadmap

Here’s where the rubber meets the road. In this meeting, we’ll walk you through:

  • The exact steps to reach your retirement goals

  • Clear answers to your biggest questions

  • How our team can simplify and improve your retirement journey

By the end, you’ll see your full roadmap laid out in front of you. From there, you decide if you want to begin the journey with us or take time to think it over.

Step 4
Becoming a Client
Putting the Plan Into Action

Once you decide to move forward, we’ll turn your plan into action. We’ll set things in motion, guide you through next steps, and make sure you always know what’s happening and why.

Step 5
Ongoing Navigation
Walking the Road Together

Retirement isn’t a straight road — life and markets change. That’s why we don’t just hand you a map and send you off. We stay in the passenger seat, adjusting the plan as needed, and helping you navigate every turn along the way.

Built for people like you
We specialize in helping pre-retirees and retirees like you turn decades of savings into dependable income. Our clients want clarity about Social Security, Medicare, taxes, and investments — and they don’t want to be sold the latest product. They want a plan they can trust, from people who know this community.

Pre-Retirees

You’re still working and saving, but wondering “When can I retire — and will I have enough?” You may be weighing early retirement offers, turning 59½ and considering a rollover, or just starting to wonder how your savings will turn into a paycheck.

New Retirees

You’ve recently left work (or you’re about to), and now the focus shifts from accumulation, to distribution. You want steady income, tax-smart withdrawals, and confidence that your plan can weather market ups and downs while covering healthcare costs.

Local Employer Retirees

Many of our clients come from well-known employers like General Mills, Rockwell Collins/Collins Aerospace, Quaker Oats, The University of Iowa, and local school districts. We understand the ins and outs of these retirement packages so nothing slips through the cracks.

Widows & Surviving Spouses

Losing a spouse is overwhelming, and managing finances afterward can feel like another heavy burden. We help simplify accounts, guide you through survivor benefits, and build a plan that ensures income and stability for your future.
