Meet Kyle
Kyle Hammerschmidt
Founder, MOKAN Wealth Management
Kyle is the founder of MOKAN Wealth Management and Retire Ready Academy, and creator of the Retire Ready Roadmap™, a tax-first planning system built to answer the retirement questions that keep you up at night.
You have worked hard your entire life. Kyle and his team want to help you enjoy the rest of it.
A recognized thought leader in retirement planning, Kyle contributes a monthly column to Kiplinger and is the author of two books, Tax-Proof Your Retirement and The Retire Ready Roadmap™. You may also know him from YouTube where he runs educational retirement planning channels for people in or near retirement.
Many of his clients previously worked with what Kyle calls "disguised financial advisors," advisors who handed them a stack of statements, a diversified pie chart, and confusing fee schedules with no real plan behind any of it.
Kyle's goal is simple. Provide massive value to pre-retirees through comprehensive, tax-efficient retirement planning and investment management so they can retire with clarity and keep more of what they built.
