R. Lance Belline is the founder and partner of Lighthouse Financial, an esteemed advisory firm located in Rogers, Arkansas. This firm specializes in providing comprehensive financial planning, investment strategies, and tax planning services tailored to meet the needs of both individuals and businesses. Lance, a seasoned professional with decades of experience in the financial services industry, is also the author of the influential book *More Wealth, Less Taxes*, which was released in 2022. The book serves as a valuable resource, offering strategies to help individuals retain more of their earnings while efficiently building wealth for the future.

In 2009, Lance established Lighthouse Financial as a boutique firm with a clear mission: to assist high-income and high-net-worth individuals in achieving their financial aspirations. From the beginning, the firm set itself apart with a distinctive tagline, "Always on Watch," which reflects its commitment to vigilant and proactive financial management. A critical factor that has distinguished the firm under his leadership is its innovative approach to integrating tax-efficient strategies into investment planning, aimed at minimizing the tax burden on clients during their retirement years.

Belline earned the prestigious designation of Certified Financial Planner in 2002, underscoring his deep expertise and commitment to the field. Over the years, he has successfully passed numerous financial industry exams, including the Series 65 Uniform Investment Adviser Law Examination and the Series 7 General Securities Representative Examination, among others. These qualifications have equipped him with a broad and deep understanding of the financial landscape, enabling him to provide exceptional guidance to his clients.

As an author, Lance has a remarkable ability to demystify complex financial concepts, presenting them in a way that is accessible and relatable to a broad audience. In *More Wealth, Less Taxes*, he uses real-life examples and client stories to illustrate strategies for financial growth and tax efficiency. His passion for helping others achieve financial success is evident in his writing, as he imparts practical wisdom to empower individuals to build wealth, give generously, and navigate the financial pitfalls that can hinder their progress.

In *More Wealth, Less Taxes*, Belline introduces readers to the concept of managing wealth through three distinct categories: pre-tax money, after-tax money, and tax-free income, such as Roth IRAs and Roth 401(k)s. His approach emphasizes the importance of diversifying across these categories to influence future tax obligations, with the ultimate goal of achieving a zero tax rate on specific income streams. The book has been widely praised for its clarity and practicality, with readers expressing gratitude for his ability to make complex topics understandable and actionable.

Beyond the core content, R. Lance Belline's book provides a wealth of resources designed to support readers in their financial planning journey. These resources include tools like the Tax Facts at a Glance, Retirement Investment Flow Charts, and an Asset Organizer, all of which are aimed at helping individuals organize and optimize their financial strategies. Readers have lauded the book for its life-changing content, describing it as a powerful tool for anyone looking to secure their financial future with confidence and clarity.

Belline's book has received rave reviews, with one reader writing, "…this book hands down has helped me so much at such an early age to understand concepts and things that were so foreign to me and make them so relatable that I felt confident in my ability to make smarter decisions with my money." Another reader praised Lance's book for packing "a punch for anyone looking to take care of their financial future. The amount of life-changing content is at the next level."
