Retirement Planning Advisor
Queens, New York
Doug Robb Jr. is an SEC-registered fiduciary serving Queens residents from the Bronx office at 4102 E Tremont Ave. He works with pre-retirees and retirees with $250,000 or more in investable assets, specializing in IRA rollovers, Social Security timing, ROTH conversions, and retirement income planning.
The Short Answer
Queens has one of the largest concentrations of NYC public sector workers and retirees in the five boroughs — NYPD, FDNY, NYCDOE, MTA, and NYC Health + Hospitals employees all live throughout the borough. Retirement planning for Queens residents often centers on the pension-to-IRA rollover decision, WEP and GPO impacts on Social Security, and how to coordinate the 457(b) or 403(b) with the defined benefit pension. Doug Robb Jr. specializes in exactly this transition.

How does retirement planning help Queens residents?
Public Sector Concentration
Queens has a high concentration of current and retired NYC government employees. NYPD, FDNY, NYCDOE, MTA, and NYC Health + Hospitals retirees all face the same core planning challenge: coordinating a defined benefit pension with Social Security (including WEP/GPO), a 457(b) or 403(b) rollover, and a tax-efficient income strategy.
NYC Income Tax
Queens residents pay federal, New York State, and New York City income tax on IRA and 401(k) distributions. The combined marginal rate can be significant. Roth conversions during the lower-income years between retirement and RMD age are a key planning lever.
Diverse Workforce
Queens has a large immigrant workforce with complex Social Security histories — some residents have worked in countries with totalization agreements with the US, which affects benefit calculations. Doug accounts for these factors in Social Security planning.
Proximity to Bronx Office
The Bronx office at 4102 E Tremont Ave is easily accessible from most Queens neighborhoods via the Whitestone or Throggs Neck Bridge, or by subway and bus. Many Queens clients prefer in-person meetings for the initial consultation.
