Who We Help

Retirement looks different depending on where you are and what you've built. Here's who this practice is designed for.

Pre-Retirees
Pre-Retirees
You're within 5 to 10 years of retirement and want a clear income plan before the big decisions arrive. Social Security timing, account drawdown, pension coordination.
View Pre-Retiree Planning
California Educators
California Educators
CalSTRS and CalPERS provide a strong foundation, but most educators retire without fully understanding how their pension, 403(b), and Social Security fit together.
View Educator Planning
High Net Worth
High Net Worth Individuals
Managing significant assets requires more than a good portfolio. Tax efficiency, income coordination, and withdrawal strategy become the levers that matter most.

What Clients Experience
Kermit Cuff

"I met Alfred about 10 years ago and decided to have him be my financial advisor. He helped me set up investment accounts, IRAs, and other savings vehicles, occasionally recommending adjustments based on my changing financial situation and goals. He built a plan to prepare me for retirement, and when I retired last year, he guided me through the process of restructuring my investments and accounts to match my income needs. Going into retirement, I actually felt prepared, which I did not expect to feel. I have found Alfred to be flexible, easy to work with, and genuinely focused on what makes sense for my short, medium and long term financial picture."

How I Can Help

Three focused areas of work, all connected to the same goal: a retirement income plan you understand and trust.

Retirement Income Planning
Turn your savings, pension, and Social Security into a coordinated monthly income plan. Know exactly what you can spend and where it's coming from well before you retire, not after.

Social Security Planning
Claiming Social Security is one of the few retirement decisions you can't undo. We model your options, evaluate spousal strategies, and help you time benefits in a way that actually fits your plan.

Investment Management
A portfolio built for retirement income looks very different from one built for accumulation. We manage your investments with your actual timeline and income needs at the center of every decision.

Meet Alfred Edmonds

Retirement planning that's built around your income, not just your portfolio.

I'm an Investment Advisor Representative at Cetera Investors in San Jose, CA, and my practice has one focus: helping people in or near retirement figure out how to turn what they've saved into income they can actually live on with confidence.

I grew up in the Bay Area and graduated from Santa Clara University with a degree in Economics. As a former Division I athlete, I approach financial planning the same way I approached competition: with structure, preparation, and a long-term view. My clients don't just get a plan. They leave understanding what it allows them to do.
