About Advanced Capital Management
John G. Ziesing, FRC
A Florida native, John G. Ziesing founded Advanced Capital Management in 1986 with a singular focus: deliver guaranteed retirement income and protect client principal. Across more than 35 years in financial services, he has guided thousands of clients through retirement planning, income structuring, and benefits coordination.
As an FRC (Federal Retirement Consultant) certified professional, John advises on federal employee benefits — FERS, CSRS, TSP, FEHB, and FEGLI — providing the technical depth required to optimize outcomes for federal workforce clients.
Because every household carries different obligations and timelines, the firm continually evaluates new programs and contract structures to assemble the broadest set of options for each plan. Retirement planning, life insurance, and annuity strategy are clarified into actionable recommendations rather than presented as abstract products.
Why I do this work
"I watched hardworking people reach retirement only to find their savings would not last — or to lose a meaningful share of it to a market drop at exactly the wrong moment. That outcome is preventable. My role is direct: ensure the money a client spent a lifetime building is delivered every month, for life, regardless of market conditions. That is the standard I hold every plan to."
— John G. Ziesing
