Serving Fountain Hills
The whole practice, for Fountain Hills.
Every service below is available to Fountain Hills families — delivered by named people you will actually speak to, under one standard.
- Retirement Planning
Retirement planning in Scottsdale starts with whether the nest egg will last, then a tailored, family-first plan you can actually follow. We teach as we go so income timing and withdrawals make sense before you leave work.
- Investment Management
Investment management in Scottsdale is about options that fit the household, a tailored strategy rather than a product push. The portfolio is built to sit inside the rest of your plan, not apart from it.
- Comprehensive Financial Planning
Comprehensive financial planning in Scottsdale begins with an initial consultation, then a plan built around your household rather than a one-size-fits-all list. Retirement, investments, tax, estate, and insurance are considered together when they belong.
- Estate Planning & Wealth Transfer
Estate planning and wealth transfer in Scottsdale is about family well-being and generational planning, done thoroughly. We coordinate the money side so documents, accounts, and beneficiaries are not sitting in different drawers.
- Tax Planning
Tax planning in Scottsdale is coordinated with the rest of the household plan, not a once-a-year scramble. We look at tax-advantaged accounts and taxable accounts together so contributions and withdrawals are not working against each other.
- Insurance Planning
Insurance planning in Scottsdale sits inside a family-first plan: coverage that protects the household, not a stack of policies for their own sake. We help you see what you already have and what still belongs.
- Life Transition Planning
Life transition planning in Scottsdale is for the moment the old investment mix feels out of date, a move, a sale, a loss, a new role. We keep the plan tailored and easy to work with while you decide the next step.
- 401(k) & IRA Planning
401(k) and IRA planning in Scottsdale focuses on tax-advantaged accounts and how they feed retirement income. We walk through contribution, rollover, and withdrawal choices in plain language.
- Lifestyle & Money Planning
Lifestyle and money planning in Scottsdale is the get-organized work: cash flow, family well-being, and enough education to run the household calendar with less fog. We start from how you actually live, then match the money to it.
- Financial Planning Consultation
A financial planning consultation in Scottsdale is the starting point, onsite at 6991 East Camelback Road, Suite D 300, women-owned, with a wheelchair-accessible entrance. We review your goals and whether we are a good match; there is no hard close.
- Financial Planning
Financial planning in Scottsdale puts accounts, insurance, and estate papers into one plan you can follow. If you could benefit from a financial professional, we invite you to see whether the fit is right.

A life change—retirement on the calendar, a spouse’s health, a house that now feels too large—can make an old investment mix feel like it belongs to a different decade. Fountain Hills households come to Stine Wealth Management for a calm first conversation, then a family-first plan built on Empathy, Ethics, and Education. We are in Scottsdale at 6991 East Camelback Road, Suite D 300; Fountain Hills, including Downtown Fountain Hills, is part of the territory we already serve.
We do not open with products. We open with whether we are a fit. Megan Keruskin described Alison as patient and thorough, walking through decisions until they were understood. That is the standard we hold: education until you can decide, not a close you have to undo later. If you have been reading that AUM fees only reward fund-picking, we will reframe the engagement around planning, tax coordination, and drawdown design, and we will not claim we can beat a simple tracker after fees.
Fountain Hills sits beside Scottsdale and Paradise Valley, with Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, and Tempe to the west and south, and Cave Creek and Carefree farther north. Phoenix, Glendale, and Peoria are in the same wider Valley we already work with. The office offers onsite services, a wheelchair-accessible entrance, parking, restroom, and seating, and free parking in the garage and lot. When you are ready for a fit-check, (480) 470-4227 is the number.
How we work in Fountain Hills
Retirement Planning
Retirement planning for Fountain Hills is the nest-egg question asked without theater: will this fund the years you want, and what would we change if it will not? Family-first means a surviving spouse is in the model, not an appendix. Education-focused means you see the retirement withdrawal strategy in words you can repeat, including how Social Security and accounts are supposed to sequence.
Investment Management
Investment management here is a holistic approach with a tailored strategy, not a tour of private equity after a liquidity event. Investment options include an index core when that matches the household. If someone has been pushing individual securities into a windfall, we start over from goals and risk capacity and require a rationale before anything complex.
Comprehensive Financial Planning
Comprehensive financial planning is the Fountain Hills name for work beyond the portfolio: income, tax, estate direction, insurance, and goals, begun in an initial consultation. It is not one-size-fits-all, and it is not a defense of any particular fee rate. Total-cost clarity belongs on the table before an engagement starts.
Estate Planning & Wealth Transfer
Estate planning and wealth transfer for Fountain Hills families is generational planning with thoroughness: documents, titles, and the people you actually want protected. Family well-being leads; the mechanics follow. If you relocated into the area, out-of-state papers are a known gap we will flag rather than ignore.
Tax Planning
Tax planning for Fountain Hills pre-retirees is about mistakes that show up when income starts coming from accounts instead of a paycheck: RMDs, Roth conversion windows, and tax-efficient withdrawals across a taxable brokerage and IRAs. We coordinate; we do not invent a tax bill. Arizona households still need a federal withdrawal map that does not fight itself.
Insurance Planning
Insurance planning in Fountain Hills stays family-first and holistic. We look at what you own, what a gap would do, and whether an annuity you were shown is suitable or merely expensive. Layered product fees are a reason to pause. The plan should still work if a product is declined.
Life Transition Planning
Life transition planning is the tailored, easy-to-work-with work after a death, a move down from a larger home, or a sudden inheritance. Fountain Hills residents in those moments do not need a thirty-year slide deck. They need the next decisions sequenced, including what not to buy while the dust is still settling.
401(k) & IRA Planning
401(k) and IRA planning for Fountain Hills is tax-advantaged account design heading into retirement: what to roll, what to convert, and how distributions will be taken. Large balances make clumsy withdrawals expensive. We map IRA distribution strategy beside taxable accounts so one does not blow up the other.
Lifestyle & Money Planning
Lifestyle and money planning is getting organized when the household’s papers and logins have drifted. Family well-being and education-focused conversations come first. Fountain Hills clients who want a calmer picture of spending and goals can start here even if they are not ready to change a single investment.
Financial Planning Consultation
The financial planning consultation is onsite, women-owned, and built as a fit-check for Fountain Hills residents who want to interview the practice. Wheelchair-accessible parking and entrance are part of the office. We will talk process, communication, and how we handle product selection. If you want only a one-time analysis and self-implementation, say so; we would rather match the engagement than stretch it.
Financial Planning
Financial planning is the continuing Fountain Hills relationship: Scottsdale-based, Valley-aware, and willing to include a Gilbert child, a Mesa account, or a Carefree parent in the same household picture. We work hand in hand as a team and keep your goals in mind. Ethics means we would rather lose a prospect than force a fit.
Fountain Hills questions, answered
Is wealth management worth typical AUM fees for a Fountain Hills household, or only after a high net worth?
There is no honest single cutoff. Complexity—several account types, equity compensation, a business, an inheritance, retirement income that has to be designed—matters more than a round number. A 2% rate is a fair thing to question in a low-cost tooling era; we will not defend a figure we have not quoted. Compare what is included, ask when work actually increases, and use the consultation for all-in fee disclosure before you engage.
If active managers often fail to beat low-cost trackers after fees, what value should a Fountain Hills client expect?
Expect planning, tax coordination, estate alignment, behavior coaching, and a drawdown design you can live with. Do not expect a promise that active management will win net of fees over long horizons. Index funds can remain the core. Value has to show up in yearly deliverables, not in a performance story.
How should Fountain Hills residents evaluate an annuity they have been shown?
Ask what problem it solves that the rest of the plan does not, what it costs in layers, and what happens if you decline it. Suitability is the test; a high-fee product sale is the failure mode. We review annuities you already own or have been offered inside insurance planning and the broader plan. We will not treat an annuity as the default retirement product.
