Brooks Financial

Brooks Financial specializes in Insurance Planning, Wealth Management, and Employee Benefits. 

Since 1961, the professionals at Brooks Financial have remained true to three core ideals...to help our clients define their corporate and personal financial goals, to design creative solutions to achieve them, and to maintain our client relationships by providing extraordinary customer service.

As with most other things in life, the key to achieving your corporate and personal long-term financial objectives is planning. Your corporate goal may be to review your buy-sell funding, control the cost of your employee benefits package, or review your retirement funding.  Your personal goal may be to protect your family during your working years, fund your children’s college education, or guarantee your own retirement security. These things won’t happen by accident. It’s important to determine what you’d like to achieve financially and then map out a strategy that will help you meet those goals. The good news is that it’s never too late to start.  Brooks Financial is here to help.

Of course, planning your financial future can be intimidating. Luckily, you don't have to do it alone. We at Brooks Financial are trained professionals who can help you identify your financial needs and then determine which insurance and financial products can best help you meet your objectives.

Using Living Benefits for Retirement Income

Many Americans are finding it difficult to predict how much they can save by retirement. Because traditional pensions are available to just one out of three workers today, a potential way of creating a guaranteed income stream in retirement is to purchase the guaranteed living benefits that are available with some variable annuities.

What Do Price/Earnings Ratios Really Have to Offer?

It's not hard to find the price/earnings ratios of publicly traded companies or even the market as a whole reported in the news. Unfortunately, it may be difficult to understand what the numbers mean without the ability to make meaningful comparisons.

Deciding When to Begin

Waiting until full retirement age (or up to age 70) to claim Social Security may result in significantly higher monthly benefits. At age 62, the earliest age to claim Social Security, the amount received could be only 70% of the benefit received at "full retirement age" (which ranges from age 65 to 67 depending on year of birth).

Protecting What May Be Your Most Valuable Asset

Statistics indicate 43% of 40-year-olds will suffer at least one long-term disability (lasting 90 days or longer) before age 65. Disability income insurance could help protect your most valuable asset: your ability to earn an income.
