Biography


Milne Financial planning is an independent, fee-only advisory practice that specializes in retirement planning. Working as a fiduciary, we guide those who are approaching retirement in making the right decisions when it comes to issues such as: • Determining that you have enough money for retirement • Timing Social Security benefits • Verifying sustainable retirement spending • Discussing tax-efficient withdrawal strategies • Matching portfolio allocation with retirement needs and goals. Jamie’s insights provide recommendations designed for each individual client and takes his fiduciary oath seriously. Beyond retirement planning, Jamie has been helping client’s make financial decisions since 1996. This includes but is not limited to topics such as divorce planning, education funding, and investments.
