Columbus, OH, Feb. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Grimes Financial Group, a fiduciary investment advisory firm based in Columbus, Ohio, continues to strengthen its comprehensive financial planning framework through The Retirement BlueprintTM to address the growing gap between standalone investing and fully coordinated retirement planning.

The Retirement BlueprintTM

The Retirement Blueprint is a structured approach that aligns retirement income strategy, investment management, tax efficiency, risk management, long-term care considerations, and legacy planning within a single customized framework. This framework reflects Grimes Financial Group's focus on planning-led financial strategies for individuals and families approaching or living in retirement.

A Coordinated Approach to Financial Planning
Traditional investing often centers on asset selection and market performance. According to the firm, The Retirement Blueprint is structured to address additional considerations that investing alone does not typically cover, including income distribution planning and long-term risk exposure. The framework evaluates financial decisions collectively rather than in isolation.

The framework begins by establishing an income foundation intended to support retirement lifestyle needs. This income-first structure is designed to clarify how cash flow is expected to function throughout retirement, providing a reference point to additional planning decisions. The Retirement Blueprint integrates asset growth strategies, tax planning coordination, aging-related cost considerations, and legacy planning into a unified strategy.

By applying this structure, The Retirement Blueprint evaluates financial tools based on their defined role within the overall plan rather than as standalone products. Investments, insurance strategies, annuity considerations, and estate planning elements are reviewed collectively to support consistency, coordination, and long-term alignment.

Key benefits of a custom, comprehensive financial plan:

  • Purpose-driven coordination, where investments, insurance strategies, and retirement accounts are aligned to serve specific income and protection objectives rather than operating independently
  • Greater income clarity, with a structured approach to understanding how retirement income is generated and sustained over time
  • Integrated risk management, addressing market volatility, healthcare costs, and longevity as part of the overall plan rather than reacting to events as they occur
  • Tax-aware decision-making, helping clients better understand how taxes may affect income, withdrawals, and long-term outcomes
  • Long-term adaptability, allowing plans to evolve as personal circumstances, market conditions, and financial needs change
  • Legacy alignment, ensuring that financial strategies support family priorities and long-term intentions beyond asset accumulation

“Our intent is to simplify financial decision-making without oversimplifying the strategy,” said Dustin Grimes, CEO of Grimes Financial Group. “The Retirement Blueprint helps bring structure to complex retirement choices and provides a clearer framework for navigating income, risk, and long-term priorities over time.”
