About Molly McMahon, CRC®

I’m Molly McMahon, CRC®, a financial advisor with Strategic Wealth Design in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. With 15 years of experience in financial services, I’m a Certified Retirement Counselor® (CRC®) and hold the FINRA Series 65 license. I help pre-retirees and retirees bring the different pieces of their financial lives together so they can approach retirement with greater clarity and confidence.

Retirement brings important questions:

When can I comfortably retire? Will my savings support the life I envision? When should I claim Social Security? Where should my retirement income come from? How should my investments change as I move from saving to spending?

I help clients navigate retirement income planning, Social Security, investment management, tax-efficient withdrawal strategies, healthcare considerations, and estate and legacy planning.

My approach is personal and conversational. I believe good financial planning starts with listening to your story, understanding what matters most to you, and explaining your options in plain English.

Colorado has been my home for more than 30 years, and I raised my two children here on the Western Slope. Whether retirement means traveling, spending more time outdoors, helping family, giving back, or simply having greater freedom, your financial plan should support the life you want to live.

If you’re approaching retirement or already retired and wondering whether all the pieces of your financial life are working together, I’d love to hear your story and learn what you want your next chapter to look like.

You’ve worked hard to build your success. Strategic Wealth Design helps you connect that success with the life you want to live.

We provide comprehensive financial planning and wealth management for business owners, high-net-worth individuals and families, and established professionals, including dentists, physicians, and practice owners. Our approach looks beyond individual accounts to consider how investments, tax-efficient strategies, retirement planning, insurance, estate considerations, and business decisions work together.

For business owners, that means connecting the demands and opportunities of ownership with personal financial goals, including wealth accumulation, retirement, and succession or exit planning. For investors and families, it means bringing financial decisions into a coordinated strategy that reflects their priorities.

With offices in Las Vegas, Nevada, and Glenwood Springs, Colorado, we serve clients nationwide. Our purpose is to enrich the lives of the people we touch by helping them pursue financial security for the responsibilities they carry and financial freedom for the choices they want to make.
