Thought leadership in Tax-efficient Distributions  Differentiates Bowman Financial Strategies from the rest.

We were founded on the principle that clients come first. 

Our worldview is shaped by the two broad phases our clients face in their wealth management journeys. First, accumulation, where people build wealth while they’re working. During the accumulation phase, people may have risk tolerances than they will later, when they’re entering pre-retirement.

Second comes distribution. This is when retirees and pre-retirees are attempting to create a sustained financial plan that will carry them through retirement—ensuring they won’t outlive their income—and leave a legacy for their families. We can help with planning for both phases.
