About Us

Jeffrey Mohlman, CTS, CDFA®

Certified Tax Specialist, Certified Divorce Financial Analyst Professional, and Retirement Income Planning Consultant

If you were to write down on a piece of paper what you desire as a retirement plan and what that plan should consist of what would it look like? What would the requirements be from you each and every month? What role would ‘certainty’ play in it? Do you often ask yourself the question: ‘why do I invest money into an account in which I have no control over the fees, no control over the market fluctuations and most importantly the future taxes that I will be forced to pay on it?  And how about, ‘why am I working with an adviser who tries to handle every aspect of the planning process?’

These are serious concerns. And ‘life happens’ so we tend to get busy and put-off these important decisions until we are far down the road to retirement. That’s right, we do that ‘saving-thing’ each pay period which adds stress to our budget all the while, the account that we invest it in does not actually benefit us now or down the road, but for reasons we can’t quite put our finger on. That’s right, we need it while we are working and raising a family but we keep adding to it knowing we cannot get access to it. And at retirement we get punished for waiting to pay taxes on these monies and then we get punished in yet another way. For following the retirement strategy everyone else followed, we now have a tax penalty on our social security income. This isn’t fair and if you are tired of following the herd to their demise, we might be able to help.

In 2005 after Jeffrey was certified as a MetLife Financial Planner he worked with a group of elite but traditional financial planners in Dayton, OH. It was here that he began to question how anyone would be able to continue to justify the traditional methods of planning for a retirement with taxation ‘yet-to-be-determined’ and a lock and key put on these monies.

With tax rates set to soar during the time that many of the baby-boomers begin their retirement it has become critical to have a team that you believe understands tax-efficient strategies that can work within your unique situation.

Along the way, Jeffrey has been awarded many accomplishments for the work he does with his clients. He has qualified for the prestigious Million Dollar Roundtable® every year since 2002. He has achieved the level Court of The Table four times and Top of The Table three times. He was awarded ‘Lifetime Member’ of the MetLife President’s Conference in 2008. He was also awarded ‘Lifetime Member’ of the Banker’s Life President’s Conference. In 2020 he was awarded the prestigious San Salvador top advisor award from Columbus Life/Western Southern Financial Group. None of these accomplishments mean as much as the feedback he gets from his clients each and every year. His client retention rate continues to rank at or near the top at over 99% for more than 15 years. Afterall, this is the ultimate measuring stick for Jeffrey and his team.

Kyle Williams

Financial Consultant and Debt Elimination Strategist

Starting in 2011, Kyle has always built his career with a client-centered approach. Beginning his business with a focus on Medicare gives him a unique perspective on the retirement planning process. While many advisors spend most of their time focused on planning for retirement, he was able to see what retirement actually looked like for thousands of people. Kyle always thought that by the time someone retired they would be debt-free and have saved enough to enjoy the golden years. However, that is not the case for many.

Kyle was shocked to see how many households lived in retirement with debt. It wasn’t just having a mortgage either. Most of the households he visited with had a mortgage, credit cards, vehicle loans, medical debt and some of them even had student loans. He also was able to see the negative impact this debt had on their ability to save for retirement. For those few who were able to save for retirement, most, if not all, of their money was in tax-deferred accounts. This meant that every time the money was used, taxes would be due forcing them to take more out of those accounts than was needed. This didn’t look like the American Dream. There had to be a better way. So, he started to look for effective strategies to help the average American get out of debt.

It is for this purpose that Kyle is part of the Safe Money Partners Team. His mission; to help the average individual, couple or business owner get out of debt faster than they had ever thought possible. To educate them on the methods to stay out of debt and stop paying interest to the banks and lenders but instead redirect those interest payments back to themselves. Most importantly to follow through on the promise made to each and every debt elimination client; that once their debt strategy gets them Debt Free For Life he will personally take them onto the next step of building a sound, S.M.A.R.T. financial strategy for a tax-aware future.
