Variable income is an opportunity—when it's planned for.
Commission and variable compensation can build wealth quickly. They also make budgeting, taxes, and saving harder than a steady salary. We help you turn strong, uneven income into a durable financial foundation.

The conversations we have most often.
Cash Flow Smoothing
Variable weekly commissions don't fit a normal budget. Most of our IG clients use a “pay yourself a salary” system: commissions hit a holding account, a fixed amount transfers monthly, and the rest goes to savings and retirement on autopilot.
Retirement Outside the 401(k)
Take the match, then build retirement somewhere else. Roth IRAs, backdoor Roths, taxable brokerage, HSAs. We help you sequence the accounts in the order that makes sense for your income picture.
HSA Optimization
If you're on the HDHP, the HSA is the single best retirement account most people have access to — triple tax-advantaged. We help you fund it properly and invest the balance.
Emergency Fund Sizing
Commission income changes the math. We typically recommend 6–9 months of expenses for IG clients vs. the standard 3–6 — and we help you build it without parking everything in a savings account.
Bonus & Commission Deployment
When a big bonus or commission hits, the default move is to spend or stash it. Neither is usually optimal. We have a playbook for how to deploy variable cash that prioritizes the right buckets in order.
Career Mobility Planning
IG AMs and Recruiters often move into client companies (Fortune 500s). We help evaluate the full offer apples-to-apples — RSUs, ESPP, 401(k) rollover from IG — instead of fixating on base salary.
