Planning for Educators

403(b) Retirement Planning for Educators

Because the work you do deserves a secure future.

You spend your career investing in others. A 403(b) helps you invest in yourself.
At Birch Wealth Management, we specialize in helping educators make smart, confident decisions about their 403(b) retirement plans — without the confusion, pressure, or hidden fees that often come with them.

Whether you’re just starting out or nearing retirement, we’re here to help you understand your options and build a plan that fits your life.

What Is a 403(b)?

A 403(b) is a tax-advantaged retirement plan designed for educators and employees of public schools and nonprofit organizations.
But not all 403(b) plans are created equal — and many educators are offered products that are expensive, restrictive, or poorly explained.
That’s where we come in.

How Birch Helps Educators

Plan Review & Education

We break down your current 403(b) in plain language so you know exactly what you have, what it costs, and how it works.

Vendor & Investment Guidance

We help you evaluate vendors, investment options, and fee structures — including annuities and mutual funds.

Fee Transparency

We identify unnecessary fees and explain how they impact your long-term retirement income.

Retirement Strategy Alignment

Your 403(b) should work with your pension, Social Security, and personal goals — not exist in a silo.

Ongoing Support

As your career and life evolve, your strategy should too. We’re here for the long haul.
