You've done well.
Now the decisions matter more.
Sid Misra
Certified Financial Planner™
Whether you’re approaching retirement or building wealth at a high level, financial decisions become more permanent and more interconnected over time.
​
I design coordinated financial plans that guide those decisions before they compound.
​
Because once income turns into retirement, or equity turns into concentration, the stakes change.

Practical thinking around real financial decisions
If You're Approaching Retirement
For years, retirement was something you were working toward.
​
Now it’s close enough to feel real.
​
You’ve done what you were supposed to do.
Saved. Invested. Stayed disciplined.
​
But when your paycheck stops, the rules change.
​
You find yourself asking questions that don’t have easy answers:
​
Can I actually retire, and stay retired?
How do I turn what I’ve built into reliable income?
What tax decisions today could quietly cost me later?
On paper, you may be fine.
​
But, that’s what makes blind spots harder to see.
​
Because this isn’t about growing wealth anymore.
It’s about shifting from accumulation to distribution.
​
And those decisions don't easily unwind.
If retirement feels close enough to make the stakes real,
your plan should support the steps ahead.
If You're a Busy Professional Building Wealth
You’ve built a career that’s paying off.
​
The promotions came. Your income increased.
Equity compensation became part of the picture.
​
From the outside, it looks like you’re on track.
But inside, it feels loosely connected.​
​
Investments here. Benefits there. Taxes handled once a year.
​
Decisions made quickly because life isn’t slowing down.
​
At some point, you’ve asked yourself:
Am I truly on track, or just moving fast?
​
The risk isn’t failure.
It’s quiet misalignment that compounds while your attention is somewhere else.
​
You don’t need more information.
You need coordination; a plan that connects the moving parts.​
​
If the next round of decisions is already forming, your plan should be built to support them.
Who is Sid Misra
My name is Sid Misra, and I am a Certified Financial Planner™ with Beacon Financial Group in Warren, NJ.
​
I work with individuals and couples across the country who want a strong, coordinated plan driving their financial decisions, especially as they approach retirement or face choices they don’t want to get wrong.
​
Many of the people I work with have already done a lot of the right things. They’ve saved, invested, and been responsible.
​
They dont need more information.
​
They need to know their investments, taxes, income strategy, and risk decisions are aligned; shaped by a coordinated plan, not just guesswork.
“Why and What” is MPowered Finance
I believe financial decisions shouldn’t rely on guesswork, headlines, or assumptions. They should be shaped by a coordinated plan that connects the moving parts.
​
MPowered Finance is where I explore the decisions people face, including retirement transitions, income strategy, tax tradeoffs, equity compensation, and how those decisions fit within a larger structure.
​
It’s my education and communication platform, created to share perspective and walk through the tradeoffs that matter before choices become permanent.
I help people make thoughtful, connected decisions and provide guidance over time, not one-off advice.

Let’s talk things through
​
If you’re approaching retirement or facing a financial decision you don’t want to get wrong, having a second set of eyes can make a real difference.
​
The first step is simply a conversation. It’s a chance to talk through what you’re thinking about, what feels uncertain, and whether working together makes sense. There’s no pressure to move forward, just an opportunity to get clarity before making any decisions.
​
If that sounds helpful, feel free to reach out. I’m always happy to be a resource or a sounding board.
​
Conversations usually take 30 minutes and focus on where you are, what you’re uncertain about, and whether it makes sense to work together.
