We Give You Your Time Back
After four decades in this business, we know what matters isn't beating some benchmark. It's whether you can stop worrying about the market noise and focus on the people and plans that matter most to you.
What We Do
Financial Guidance Without the Noise
You're drowning in information but still not sure if you're making the right decisions. You've spent years building something, and now you're wondering what it's actually for and whether you can finally use it. The daily headlines and market swings pull your attention away from the life you're trying to live, and you're tired of spending your energy on things that may not even matter.

How We Help
Comprehensive Guidance for Your Financial Life
Your financial decisions don't exist in isolation. We address what matters most by looking at the full picture and coordinating every piece to support the life you want.
Your money should be working toward your specific goals, not chasing benchmarks. We manage investments aligned with what you're actually trying to accomplish.
You need clarity about when you can stop working and whether you'll have enough. We map out what's realistic and how to get there.
Turning savings into a reliable income requires a strategy. We coordinate your various sources so you know what's coming in and when, year after year.
We collaborate with your tax preparer to coordinate strategies that make sense for your overall picture and help you avoid costly surprises throughout the year.
Who We Are
Four Decades of Experience,
Built on Something Personal
Marc Livernois founded MSDR Partners in 2023 after 40 years in this business because he wanted the freedom to do things the right way: with complete independence and total focus on the people who trust us. Based in Grand Haven, Michigan, we're driven by a simple belief that this work is deeply personal, and it should be treated that way.
