Financial Planning Services

VRS and MissionSquare Retirement invite all members and retirees to connect with a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER  professional to help with your comprehensive financial planning needs. Schedule a one-on-one consultation for personalized guidance or attend a live webinar with our CFP® professionals on a variety of financial topics.

Participation in a VRS Defined Contribution Plan is not required to take advantage of these services.

Meet with a CFP® Professional

Sign up for a free consultation focused on your entire household with a comprehensive view of your financial situation and your family’s overall financial wellness.

You may include your spouse or loved one in the conversation. Topics often include:

  • Debt reduction
  • Budgeting help
  • Saving for education
  • Protecting your loved ones
  • Optimizing Social Security benefits
  • Estate planning

Please take a moment to prepare for your appointment.

  • Jot down questions and think about your goals for the meeting.
  • If you request a full financial plan (available at an additional cost), bring your VRS Member Benefit Profile (your annual benefits statement available in myVRS) for a more holistic view of your future. Financial plans require several discussions (two to four planning hours, approximately five to six weeks to complete a full financial plan).
