Orlando Firm Educates Workers on Using IRAs to Grow Retirement and DROP Savings

ORLANDO, Fla. - EntSun -- Many employees approaching retirement receive lump-sum distributions from programs such as DROP, pensions, severance packages, or employer retirement plans — yet few understand how to properly position those funds for long-term growth and tax efficiency. Sherwin & Associates, a Central Florida–based financial services firm, is expanding its education efforts to help workers understand how Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) can preserve and grow retirement savings.

An IRA allows individuals to consolidate retirement funds into a tax-advantaged account that offers greater control, investment flexibility, and long-term compounding potential. Funds rolled into an IRA may continue growing tax-deferred (Traditional IRA) or tax-free (Roth IRA), depending on the strategy selected. Proper structuring can reduce unnecessary taxes, simplify retirement management, and create sustainable income throughout retirement.

"For many educators and professionals, DROP funds or lump sums represent the largest financial asset they will ever control," said Sherwin Sargeant, Founder of Sherwin & Associates. "Where that money is placed matters. An IRA can help protect those funds, improve growth potential, and create a more predictable retirement outcome when properly structured."

Sherwin & Associates educates clients on rollover strategies, required minimum distributions, beneficiary planning, and how IRA strategies integrate with Social Security, pensions, and insurance protection. The firm also helps individuals avoid common mistakes such as unnecessary taxation, early withdrawal penalties, and poor allocation decisions.

"An IRA is not just an account — it's a long-term strategy," Sargeant added. "When coordinated correctly, it can help retirees preserve wealth, generate income, and leave a legacy for their families."
