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.

Retirement Plans for Small Businesses

With standard 401(k) plans, the amount a company's owners can contribute to their own retirement account is often restricted by how much other employees contribute to the plan. With the safe harbor option, owners may be able to make larger contributions for themselves in exchange for making tax-deductible contributions or "matches" for employees.

Are Consumers Holding the Keys to a Better Economy?

Consumer spending still accounts for about 70% of gross domestic product, but some government statistics suggest that consumers may have reduced spending drastically in recent years, especially on discretionary items. High unemployment, household debt, and a general lack of confidence can affect consumers' ability and willingness to spend.

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).
