Serving Coshocton and surrounding communities from 401 Walnut Street, Art Saylor helps Ohio families build retirement strategies that account for every moving part — income, taxes, insurance, and what you leave behind.
Retirement Planning Built Around Your Life, Not a Product Catalog
As an independent advisor registered through Cambridge Investment Research, Art isn't tied to any single company's offerings. That independence means your plan reflects your situation — your income sources, your tax picture, your timeline — not the options a captive advisor is required to push.
Whether you're an Ohio public school teacher navigating STRS Ohio decisions, a healthcare worker managing an irregular income, or a factory worker approaching a pension election, the planning process starts with understanding where you are before recommending where to go.
What We Help Coshocton Clients Work Through
- Retirement income planning — coordinating Social Security, pensions, and personal savings into a dependable monthly picture
- Tax-efficient strategies to reduce what you owe across accumulation and distribution phases
- Legacy planning that reflects what you actually want to pass on and to whom
- Insurance review to identify gaps or redundancies in your current coverage
- STRS Ohio guidance for active and retiring public school teachers
- Coordination with local CPAs and estate attorneys so your plan doesn't operate in silos
Who Comes to the Coshocton Office
Art works with a wide range of clients from Coshocton County and the surrounding region, including:
- Ohio public school teachers preparing for or already in retirement through STRS Ohio
- Medical professionals and healthcare workers whose schedules and compensation structures create unique planning challenges
- Industrial and factory workers navigating pension elections and early retirement windows
- Retirees and pre-retirees who want a coordinated plan across income, taxes, and estate goals
Virtual appointments are also available for clients who prefer to meet from home or who are located outside the immediate Coshocton area.
Why Clients in Coshocton Choose an Independent Advisor
The financial decisions you make in the years just before and after retirement have a long reach. A withdrawal strategy that looks fine on paper can create a significant tax burden. A pension election made without modeling the alternatives can cost tens of thousands of dollars over a retirement. Insurance coverage that made sense at 45 may be redundant — or dangerously thin — at 62.
Art's approach is to map out the full picture first, then build a strategy that connects retirement income, tax planning, and legacy goals into a single coordinated plan rather than a collection of unrelated products.
Our Process
Art works with clients to understand their complete financial picture before recommending any strategy or product. This comprehensive approach ensures that retirement income, tax planning, and legacy goals work together as part of a coordinated plan.
