I've been with Total Wealth for over 20 years, and in that time, they have consistently proven to be trustworthy, personable, and genuinely committed to my financial well-being. What sets them apart is the individual attention they provide—I'm never treated like just another account. They’ve taken the time to understand my goals and have helped me grow my investments in a way that feels both strategic and comfortable. With Total Wealth, I have confidence in my financial future, and that peace of mind is priceless.
Rob Siegmann is a very nice and knowledgeable guy. Even though I was not able to work with TWP, he took his time and answered my questions! I highly recommend and hope to work with him in the future.
My husband investigated and interviewed several financial firms 4 years ago to help us plan our retirement. He found and made an appointment with Total Wealth Planning and we had our first meeting with Joel Musser and Mel. They made us feel comfortable and helped us understand our options. About a year later my husband passed away and Joel was one of the first people I called to help me understand the financial next steps. He relieved my anxiety, which allowed me to focus on myself and our children. Now 3 years later I am taking the last steps towards retirement and even though I am now alone, I know I am in good hands with TWP and can enjoy my next step in life. I cannot say enough about their support and glad my husband made this choice.
More than 30 years ago, we knew we needed professional help to lay out a sensible plan to managing our investments and plan for retirement. We had until then worked with large brokerage firms that offered lots of advice about what they could sell (and make a commission on) but none on retirement planning or overall investment management. Unhappy with that, we looked around and found a fee-only advisor who developed a long-range plan that suited our needs and our risk tolerance. That firm merged seamlessly with Total Wealth Planning, a somewhat larger firm which, to our delight, has the same investment philosophy. Now in retirement, the TWP plan (asset allocation, investment balance and withdrawal schedule) is working flawlessly. There have been no surprises, no glitches, and no sleepless nights. Amelia West, who manages the Indianapolis office, is the person we deal with regularly. (Others in TWP are available and responsive as needed.) Amelia is always responsive to our inquiries. She communicates clearly and concisely. Over the years, in living outside of Indiana and even overseas, we have taken the opportunities to investigate several other investment firms. None of them came close to matching the openness and investment philosophy that we found with TWP and its predecessor. We are completely satisfied with Total Wealth Planning’s services and with all the people we know there.
About three months prior to my retirement, I did extensive research to find the best team to handle my retirement funds. I interviewed 4-5 firms and chose Total Wealth Planning. A few team members sat down with me and had a comprehensible discussion with me about my personal situation, short and long term retirement plans, etc. The team then provided information on how they could help me achieve a comfortable retirement life. None of the other firms interviewed were this engaged during the initial consultation. The certified financial planners and wealth advisors who handle my account are always responsive, professional, friendly, and provide advice and guidance. They meet with me and my wife yearly to review the accounts, hear about our life and goal changes, and make the necessary adjustments so we can enjoy our retirement life. I am very happy with Total Wealth Planning. Every team member I deal with is tremendously friendly and will not stop working on a requested task until I am satisfied. I highly recommend this firm to handle your retirement financial and planning needs.
