We walk through our sequence for retirement contributions! Here's how we invest our money as accountants!

• Start with any employer matching funds available - it's free money and an immediate 100% return
• Max out a Roth IRA if eligible ($7,000 limit for 2025, $8,000 if over 50)
• Aim to save 15% of income for retirement (12-20% range is generally recommended)
• Business owners should consider a Solo 401(k) rather than SEP IRA when operating as an S-corp
• Solo 401(k)s allow both employee contributions (up to $23-24k) and employer contributions (25% of salary)
• Once all tax-advantaged accounts are maxed, use a taxable brokerage account for additional savings
• Coordinate retirement planning between your CPA and financial advisor, especially when changing salary levels
