With more than 17 years of experience, Troy has developed a specialization in retirement income and tax-efficient distribution planning. Troy started Stine Financial in 2007, rebranded in 2023 to Stine Tax & Wealth Management, because of his passion for working with pre-retirees, retirees, and small-business owners by educating and advising them to ensure a secure retirement. He does this through a holistic approach by helping families with a customized plan that aligns investments, insurance, taxes, and and estate planning that has the potential to take them through their retirement years and generations to come.
