Episode 93: Numbers into Clarity: How Steve Goldstein Empowers Advisors with Retirement Analyzer

What began as a clunky Excel-based solution has transformed into a tool used by thousands of advisors to help clients make informed financial decisions with clarity and precision.

In this episode, Jeremy Houser sits down with Steve Goldstein, CFP®, ChFC®, Founder of Thomas Gold Solutions, to explore how Retirement Analyzer has evolved over 15 years into a highly detailed yet accessible financial planning software.

They discuss how user feedback, thoughtful development, and a focus on simplicity help advisors deliver more confident and customized client experiences.

Steve discusses:

  • How new features like client portals and docu trackers foster stronger advisor-client collaboration

As a trusted consultant and advisor to the financial professionals he serves, Jeremy is committed to helping you professionalize all aspects of your practice and unlock your full potential.

In early 2018, he identified a clear gap in service and support for advisors across the nation, and built the Advisor Mentorship Program to address and close it. One of his passions within AMP is to help advisors refine their own process and attract clients instead of chasing them.

Today, this pro­gram continues to help a select group of advisors stay focused on achieving consistent growth, while adding value to their practice and developing Business Alpha through the resources available through InsurMark.
