Tax Professionals






Casey Startzell, CFP®, EA
Owner, Lead Advisor

Hi, I'm Casey.


You've spent decades saving for retirement. Now it's time to make those savings work for you—without the stress, complexity, or second-guessing.


I specialize in helping people navigate through retirement. Together, we'll create a plan that optimizes your Social Security timing, minimizes your lifetime tax bill, and ensures your money lasts as long as you need it.


Family is my #1 value. Legacy is designed around what I'd want for my parents: a trusted advisor who puts their interests first, explains things clearly, and is always available when questions arise.
