Meet Your Advisor

John Ramsden — Founder, Wealth Rise

With over 20 years in financial services, I’ve seen firsthand how the wrong tax strategy can cost retirees hundreds of thousands of dollars. That’s why I built Wealth Rise — to give people a clear, tax-efficient path to retirement that protects what they’ve worked their entire lives to build.

I specialize in Roth conversions, tax reduction strategies, and retirement income planning. As a fiduciary, my only obligation is to you — not a bank, not a brokerage, not a product company.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to the most common questions about Roth conversions, our process, and how we can help protect your retirement from unnecessary taxes.

A Roth conversion moves money from a traditional IRA or 401(k) into a Roth IRA. While you pay taxes on the converted amount now, all future growth and withdrawals become completely tax-free. With tax rates near historic lows and the national debt continuing to grow, converting now can protect you from significantly higher taxes in the future. The key is converting the right amount at the right time to stay within optimal tax brackets.

Our strategy uses a combination of financial tools and careful planning to fund the tax liability of your Roth conversion without requiring you to dip into your existing retirement savings or personal funds. During your complimentary consultation, we explain exactly how this works for your specific situation.

This approach is designed for individuals aged 55 and older who have $500,000 or more in traditional IRA or 401(k) accounts. It is especially valuable for those who are concerned about Required Minimum Distributions, rising tax rates, or leaving a tax-efficient legacy for their heirs. Every situation is different, which is why we start with a personalized Tax Impact Report.
