GUIDE TO ROTH CONVERSIONS
'We are the bridge between your Accountant and Financial Advisor: We do what they don't'— David Hyden
MCKINNEY, TX, UNITED STATES, April 26, 2025 / EINPresswire.com / -- For individuals contemplating whether to convert their traditional IRAs, 401(k)s, and other tax-qualified retirement plans to a Roth IRA, Retirement Tax Consultants is now offering a comprehensive Roth Conversion Analysis.
Making the right decision about Roth conversion can save retirees hundreds of thousands of dollars over time—but only if it's based on accurate, personalized analysis. While some local advisors may be equipped to perform these calculations, the reality is that Roth analysis requires deep expertise in tax strategy, mathematics, and retirement income planning.
Retirement Tax Consultants fills this gap by offering clients a professional-grade report set designed to evaluate all aspects of Roth conversion. These reports answer the most critical questions a retirement account owner must ask:
________________________________________
Our Roth Conversion Report includes a side-by-side analysis comparing the long-term costs of converting versus not converting:
1. THE COST OF CONVERSION
• Tax cost of a conventional single-year conversion
• Tax cost of a structured (multi-year) conversion
• Tax cost of a strategically optimized single-year conversion using proprietary tax strategies
• Fees and risks associated with an optimized conversion
• D1RV (Day-One Roth Value) for each approach
• Enhancement options available, with analysis of appropriateness and cost
2. THE COST OF NOT CONVERTING
• Lifetime income taxes (voluntary and RMDs)
• Increased Medicare premiums
• IRMAA surcharges (Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount)
• Investment fees and commissions on the embedded tax liability
________________________________________
'With our tools, expertise, and software, we can show clients the true cost and benefit of a Roth conversion and help them decide if the Roth conversion makes sense financially. This is not just a financial guess—it's a fact-based analysis that empowers clients to make the best decision for their retirement future,' said David Hyden, Founder of Retirement Tax Consultants.
'For those clients that decide to convert to Roth we can also show them how to reduce the taxes by a minimum of 35% using various strategies that are legal yet largely unknown by most advisers.'

Elon Musk's teen prodigy Kairan Quazi is ditching SpaceX for billionaire Ken Griffin's Citadel Securities
At just 16 years old, Kairan Quazi has already gained accolades most engineers spend decades accumulating. He graduated from college, helped design software for SpaceX Starlink satellites, and turned down offers from Silicon Valley's buzzy AI labs. Now, the prodigy is taking his next leap—not in Silicon Valley, but on Wall Street, where he's joining Citadel Securities, a liquidity provider, as a quant developer. A defiant attitude Quazi's path has been unconventional from the start. At 9, he left third grade for community college, went on to intern at Intel Labs at 10, and transferred to Santa Clara University at 11, eventually becoming the youngest graduate in its 172-year history. In 2023, he made headlines when Elon Musk's SpaceX hired him at just 14 years old. A 'rare company,' Quazi said at the time, that didn't use his age as an 'arbitrary and outdated proxy for maturity and ability.' The same year, he sparred with Microsoft-owned LinkedIn after it locked him out of the platform for being under 16, blasting the decision as 'illogical, primitive nonsense.' In fact, Quazi has never been shy about critiquing the traditional system that held him back. Once LinkedIn allowed him back on to their platform, Quazi posted a comment slamming the conventional school system. The 16-year-old argued that 'tests are not used to measure mastery, but the ability to regurgitate' and that the modern 'school factory' rewards fear and prestige-chasing over learning. 'Age, privilege, and unconscious (sometimes even conscious) biases are used to gatekeep opportunities,' he wrote, adding that philosophers like Seneca the Younger and Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius might have seen today's education system as dangerous. Two years later, Quazi is channeling that same defiance into a different arena. He turned down offers from top AI startups and tech firms to join Citadel Securities this week in New York, citing the firm's culture of meritocracy and instant feedback. 'Quant finance offers a pretty rare combination: the complexity and intellectual challenge that AI research also provides, but with a much faster pace,' he told Business Insider. At Citadel Securities he said, he'll be able to see the results of his work in 'days, not months or years.' A win-win Citadel Securities—sister company to the well-known Citadel—for its part, has every reason to trumpet the win. The firm, which handles roughly 35% of U.S. retail stock trades and generated nearly $10 billion in revenue in 2024, is locked in a talent war with the likes of OpenAI, Anthropic, and xAI. Recruiting a prodigy who was once deemed too young for LinkedIn—but now works at the intersection of engineering and quantitative problem-solving—is a symbolic coup for Ken Griffin's trading powerhouse. For Quazi, the move also closes a personal loop. His mother worked in mergers and acquisitions as an investment banker, giving him early exposure to finance. And on campus, he saw how coveted quant jobs had become for math and computer-science students. 'It's one of the most prestigious industries you could go into as a computer scientist or mathematician,' he told Business Insider. Now, he's living that reality in New York City. Quazi has moved into an apartment just a 10-minute walk from Citadel Securities' Park Avenue office. 'New York has a very special place in my heart,' he said, noting that his mom grew up in Astoria, Queens. Unlike his time at SpaceX, where his mother had to drive him to work in Redmond, Wash., Quazi's commute is now his own: first on foot, and soon, by subway. 'I felt ready to take on new challenges and expand my skill set into a different high-performance environment,' he said. 'Citadel Securities offered a similarly ambitious culture, but also a completely new domain, which is very exciting for me.' Jackie Scharnick, Citadel's communications director, said Quazi would pass on an interview with Fortune so he could 'focus on his second day of work.'

How to max out your IRA before 2026
You want to enjoy a comfortable retirement without worrying about how you'll pay all your bills. But that requires a pretty sizable nest egg — often seven figures. It takes consistent savings throughout your career to get there. Maxing out your IRA is a great starting point, especially if you don't have access to a 401(k) through your job. With the year half over, you might think it's too late to do this for 2025. However, it might still be possible if you follow these steps. Understand what maxing out your IRA means Maxing out your IRA contributions means different things, depending on your age, the type of IRA you're using, and sometimes your income. The first step is figuring out what maxing out your IRA even looks like for you. All IRAs have annual contribution limits of $7,000 in 2025 for adults under 50. But those who will be 50 or older by the end of the year can make a $1,000 catch-up contribution, bringing their annual limit to $8,000. These limits apply to all of your IRAs together, not to each one individually. If you're saving in a traditional, tax-deferred IRA, you can contribute up to the annual limit as long as your annual earnings from your job equal or exceed your IRA contributions. For example, if you only made $5,000 this year, the max IRA contribution you could make is $5,000. Spousal IRAs are an exception for married couples, allowing a nonwage-earning spouse to make IRA contributions, as long as their partner earns enough to cover contributions to both spouses' IRAs. Roth IRAs are trickier. You fund these accounts with after-tax dollars, which lets you make tax-free withdrawals in retirement. This is a huge advantage, especially if you expect your tax bracket to stay the same or increase in retirement. Most people will be able to contribute up to the annual maximum, but some high earners could run into income limits that cap their maximum Roth IRA contribution at a lower amount. How to max out your IRA by the end of 2025 Once you know how much you're allowed to contribute to an IRA in 2025, you can work on a plan to max yours out. First, subtract any money you've already contributed to your IRA this year from your annual contribution limit. If you've already put $1,000 in your traditional IRA and you're under 50, then you can only set aside $6,000 more this year. Next, divide the remainder in a way that makes sense to you. The two most common approaches are by month or by pay period. Figure out how you want to do it and how much you'll need to set aside each time. For example, if you want to set aside $7,000 and make monthly contributions (including one for July), you'd set aside about $1,167 per month. Or if you wanted to exclude July, that would bump your monthly contribution to $1,400 per month. The more complicated part of this is coming up with the money. A regular contribution is ideal, but you may not be able to afford to save your target amount out of your regular monthly income. So you have a few options. You could try to earn extra money throughout the year through a side hustle. If you stash that money into a traditional IRA, you shouldn't have to worry about it affecting your tax bill very much. Or you might be able to get some overtime at your regular job. If you qualify for a year-end bonus, you could set this aside for retirement as well. This could reduce the amount you have to set aside per month. For example, if you expect a $1,000 bonus, you'd only have to save $6,000 on your own, which would drop your monthly contribution from $1,167 to $1,000. You still might not be able to get together enough money to max out your IRA, and that's OK. Even if you only save $1,000, that's something to be proud of. And if you're really determined to set aside more, you should know that you have until you file your 2025 taxes to make IRA contributions for this year. You can use the first few months of 2026 to continue adding to your IRA if you want to. The Motley Fool has a disclosure policy.

Tired of Burning Money at Conferences? Use This 5-Step Strategy for Real ROI
Conferences can still deliver massive ROI, but only if you stop thinking about them as a standalone tactic and start treating them like what they really are: a live-action funnel with a very short attention span. Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Let's cut to the chase: most companies go to conferences to check a box, not to drive results. I've worked with everyone from billion-dollar brands to scrappy startups. I've seen booths with six-figure budgets generate zero pipeline and a LinkedIn DM campaign outperform an entire sponsorship package. The reason? Most companies treat conferences like a high school science fair — look pretty, hand out freebies, hope someone likes your volcano. Here's the brutal truth: If your event strategy is built around foot traffic and branded socks, you're already underwater. Conferences can still deliver serious ROI. But only if you stop thinking about them as standalone tactics and start treating them like what they really are: a live-action funnel with a very short attention span. Step 1: Get ruthlessly clear on why you're going This sounds obvious. It's not. Most companies attend events with vague goals like "brand awareness" or "thought leadership." Translation: no real strategy. If you can't answer this question — "What does success look like from this event, and how will we measure it?" — cancel the booth. Your "why" should fall into one of three categories: Lead generation (measurable pipeline and conversion) Brand positioning (keynote, panel or media presence) Strategic partnerships (investor intros, co-marketing, business development) Pick one primary goal. Then reverse-engineer your entire presence around it. Everything else is noise. Related: 17 Must-Attend Conferences for Entrepreneurs Ready to Scale Step 2: Craft a message that cuts through the noise Nobody cares about your "AI-powered scalable solutions" if that's all you're saying. You need a message that punches. Something that aligns with the conference theme but actually says something. For example, one of our B2B SaaS clients recently sponsored a fintech event. Everyone was talking about "frictionless onboarding." Snooze. We reframed their message as: Stop onboarding users who'll churn in 30 days. It turned heads. It made execs stop and say, "Tell me more." That's the bar. Your message should be: Clear (no buzzwords) Controversial (just enough to spark conversation) Consistent (across booth, decks, social and follow-up) Step 3: Pre-game like a pro You don't show up to a marathon without training. So don't show up to a $50,000 event without a warm list. Your pre-conference playbook should include: LinkedIn outreach (three to four weeks out): Target attendees, engage with event hashtags and join relevant groups. No pitches — just real engagement Direct invites: Email past leads or ideal customers: "I'll be at [Event]. Let's meet IRL if you're attending." Organic buzz: Have leadership — not just the company page — post about why you're attending and what you're bringing Remember, ROI doesn't start at the conference. It starts the moment your name hits the attendee list. Step 4: Focus on booth experience, not booth design You don't need a spaceship booth. You need meaningful conversations. Train your team to do more than demo software. Teach them to: Ask smarter questions Listen for pain points Offer real value (not just tchotchkes — think insights or content) Capture context for every lead ("Spoke about [X] challenge, referred by [Y]") Also — script your follow-up before the show starts. A generic "Great to meet you at [Event]" email kills momentum fast. Related: How to Win Over the Room With Effective Persuasion Skills Step 5: Follow up like money's on the line The event ends when the lights go off. Your window of influence doesn't. Here's a seven-day follow-up cadence that actually works: Day 1: Personalized email referencing your conversation plus a relevant asset Day 3: LinkedIn message with a short, value-driven follow-up Day 5: Add to nurture stream based on interest or product line Week 2: Send a post-event content piece — e.g., "5 things we learned at [Event name]" Then — debrief. What worked? What didn't? Document it. If sales aren't in this conversation, your next event is already a sunk cost. Bonus: Rethink sponsorship ROI Here's a hot take — most sponsorship packages are overpriced hype. Unless you're getting: Guaranteed stage time Tier-1 placement in attendee materials Verified audience data before the event You're probably better off hosting a private dinner with ten decision-makers or doing a focused side activation. Relevance beats visibility every time. A 20-minute meeting with a CMO is worth more than 2,000 logo impressions. Final word: Be the booth they remember You don't win at events by being the loudest. You win by being the clearest, the most relevant and the hardest to ignore. So before you blow another five-figure budget on glossy signage and lukewarm leads, ask yourself: Are we going to this event to show up — or to show out? If it's the latter, you're already ahead of the pack.
