Fiduciary Financial Planning
for Maine Professionals
Provision Wealth Planning brings over 20 years of experience helping Maine professionals — university faculty, healthcare workers, and others with complex benefit packages — build retirement plans they can count on.
Built for Maine Professionals with Real Financial Complexity
Employer-sponsored retirement plans, pension elections, Social Security timing, tax planning — the closer you get to retirement, the more complicated the picture becomes. We help you make sense of it all.
University of Maine System Faculty & Staff
If you have a TIAA account, or a 9-month salary that can create cash flow challenges, we know your situation. We've worked with University faculty and staff for more than 27 years.
Healthcare Professionals
Northern Light Health employees face a distinct set of planning challenges — 403(b) decisions, 457 investing decisions, shift differential income, and benefit packages that most advisors don't fully understand. We do.
Maine Pre-Retirees
If you're within 10–15 years of retirement and haven't built a coordinated income plan yet, now is the time. We help you turn accumulated savings into a retirement income strategy that accounts for taxes, healthcare, and longevity.

What Makes Provision Different
We're Fiduciaries
Not every financial advisor is held to the same standard. As a fiduciary firm, we are legally and ethically required to put your interests first. No commissions. No product pushing. Transparent fees, explained before you sign anything.
Boutique and Local — You Work with Tom, A Maine-Resident Who Understands Your Values
We work with a deliberately small number of clients. That means when you call, Tom’s team answers. When something changes in your life, we already know your situation. When markets move, we reach out to you — not the other way around.
Deep Expertise in Maine Employer Benefit Systems
Most financial advisors handle retirement plans in general. We have spent over two decades learning the specific benefit structures of Maine's major employers — the TIAA contracts , Fidelity plans, the pension elections, the 403(b) 457 options. That institutional knowledge is your advantage.
How It Works
A Structured Process Built Around You
No prep required. We'll ask about your situation, your timeline, and your questions. You'll get a clear sense of whether we're a good fit — with no pressure and no commitment.
We dig into the details of your financial life — your accounts, your benefits, your goals, and what retirement actually means to you. We help you organize what you have before we start building anything.
We design a retirement and investment plan built around your specific situation — not a template. We meet to walk through it together, answer questions, and make sure every strategy makes sense to you.
Retirement planning isn't a one-time event. As your life changes, your plan changes with it. We check in regularly — not just at annual reviews.
Hear From Our Clients
Great people to work with!
Tom and his staff, Lisa and Kabryn, have been extremely knowledgeable and helpful with my family’s retirement accounts. Most recently, with the passing of my parents, they assisted us in combining all of their accounts and transferring them to myself and my siblings. They were very understanding and supportive at every turn. I would undoubtably recommend them to anyone looking for financial assistance from a professional yet compassionate and relatable team.
