About MyStages

What is MyStages?

MyStages® is a free financial wellness program from Signature Financial Solutions. It’s built around a simple idea: your financial priorities change at every stage of life — starting out, building wealth, preparing for retirement, and living in retirement.

The articles, tools, and quiz are here to help you understand what tends to matter most at your stage, with the option to talk to an advisor if you’d like personal guidance.

Is MyStages free to use?

Yes. The articles, the stage quiz, and the planning tools on this site are free to use. An initial conversation with an advisor is also free and carries no obligation. If you choose to work one-on-one with an advisor, any fees or costs would be explained clearly before you decide to move forward.

Who is behind MyStages?

MyStages is a consumer wellness program of Signature Financial Solutions, LLC — a financial firm based in Tampa, Florida that has worked with individuals and families for about 30 years.

Securities and investment advisory services are offered through Osaic Wealth, Inc., member FINRA/SIPC.

Working with an advisor

Do I have to work with an advisor?

No. You’re welcome to use the articles, tools, and quiz on your own for as long as you like. If and when you’d like to talk something through, you can book a short conversation with one of our advisors — but there’s no obligation.

What happens on a first call?

It’s a short, no-pressure conversation to understand where you are and what’s on your mind. There’s no obligation, and you’ll leave with more clarity either way. If it makes sense to keep working together, your advisor will walk you through what that looks like.

What does it cost to work with an advisor?

An initial conversation is free and carries no obligation. If you decide to work together, your advisor will explain any fees or costs clearly and up front, so you can make an informed decision. What it costs depends on the type of help you’re looking for.

Do you only work with people in Florida?

Our advisors are based in Tampa, Florida, and work with clients across the country. Signature Financial Solutions is registered to offer securities in all 50 U.S. states and licensed to offer insurance in all 50 U.S. states.

What is the MyStages Quiz?
