Our Tech Stack
“A technology stack represents the carefully curated combination of software, programming languages, frameworks, libraries, and tools that developers use to build and run applications. It’s like a toolbox where each tool serves a specific purpose. Just as a chef selects the right ingredients for a delicious dish, developers choose components from the tech stack to create robust, scalable, and efficient software solutions.” - Microsoft Copilot
Simply put, our tech stack is a list of apps, websites, electronic tools, and calculators that we use to provide the best value for you, the client.
Please see below several of the headlining programs that we personally use and take advantage of the links to learn more.

ATS - Advanced Time Segmentation
Proprietary to Cetera Financial Group, Advanced Time Segmentation, often referred to as ATS, is a unique program that allows advisors to overview retirement assets for clients. By splitting, or segmenting assets, into different "buckets," advisors are able to simulate how funds will be allocated over the short-term, intermediate, and long-term.
This program factors in retirement assets of all kinds from IRA's, Employer Plans, Annuities, Social Security, and much more. By simulating the crediting and debiting of these assets, ATS advisors create the best plan for your future needs.
HorsesMouth - Savvy Social Security Planning
One of our favorite tools to utilize is through our membership with HorsesMouth. HorsesMouth is a financial advisor toolkit, basically. It is a website with many interactive calculators, articles, and legal excerpts, designed to keep member advisors a step ahead.
The Savvy Social Security Planning calculator (yes, with two v's) is one of our favorite tools. Only available to members, this calculator runs scenarios for claimants based on age of claim, dependent scenarios, survivor benefits, divorce situations, etc.
Designed to be as comprehensive as possible, we use it daily to make sure clients are getting the absolute most for their situation.
