Professional Profile

Maggie Koosa, IRMAACP®, NSSA®, CEPA®, is the founder of The Alchemists, a fee-based fiduciary RIA serving pre-retirees, retirees, business owners, and high-net-worth families across New England. A former high school math teacher, Maggie built her practice on a simple conviction: the two retirement surprises that hurt the most — how Social Security gets taxed and how Medicare's IRMAA surcharges quietly climb — are also the two most preventable. She helps her people time their Social Security benefits, manage their IRMAA brackets, and coordinate Roth conversions and retirement income so the tax bill is planned for, not stumbled into. Her work centers on the things most plans ignore until it's too late: the income trough, the widow's penalty, and bracket control. She reads the fine print, asks the uncomfortable questions, and — true to her roots — does the math right. Off the clock, she's a lifelong Girl Scout, a competitive athlete, a mom, and a proud New Englander.

Maggie Koosa holds both the National Social Security Advisor (NSSA®) certification and the IRMAACP™ training in Medicare planning, reflecting advanced training in retirement income and Medicare cost planning.

How an NSSA® Certified Advisor Will Help You

An NSSA® Certified Advisor provides the knowledge and expertise needed to maximize your Social Security benefits and help you achieve a secure retirement.

Avoid Costly Social Security Claiming Mistakes

Navigating Social Security rules can be complex, and even small mistakes can cost you thousands of dollars in lost benefits. An NSSA® Certified Advisor ensures you make informed decisions and avoid costly errors.

Holistic Retirement Planning

An NSSA® Advisor integrates your Social Security strategy with your overall retirement plan, ensuring your assets work together to meet your financial goals and a clearer path to a secure future.

Guidance You Won’t Get from the Social Security Office

The Social Security office provides information but doesn’t offer personalized advice or strategies. An NSSA® Certified Advisor delivers tailored solutions based on your unique circumstances and goals.
