Advice for today and down the road

Whatever your priorities or your concerns about the future, we believe our collaboration can help you find answers to the questions that matter most about your finances and your life—today and for years to come.

Business transition and liquidity planning

We know that successful entrepreneurs have a passion for their business - a purpose beyond the profit - that drives them to succeed. Selling your business takes a lot of thought and planning.

We’ll introduce you to sensible solutions to address your goals throughout the business life cycle—from evaluating the decision to step back to the early stages of exit or succession planning through the completion of your sale. Post sale, we can also design a personalized liquidity management strategy that can help you pursue your future financial goals in the most tax-efficient manner.

Executive wealth management

Many of our executive clients have built substantial wealth through the ownership of shares in a publicly traded or privately held company. We’ll work with you to navigate these complex transactions so you can maximize the value of your award and simplify your financial life. Our advice addresses:

  • Risk management/diversification of concentrated positions
  • Restricted stock award management
  • Stock option execution
  • Liquidity strategies

Estate planning and involvement

Our team has the knowledge and experience to help you build a comprehensive estate planning strategy for transitioning assets to future generations.

Within your plan, we may recommend tax-efficient structures such as trusts and philanthropic vehicles to help you preserve and pass on your wealth. We also understand complex family relationships, and their impact on estate planning decisions. To encourage early family participation during the process, we can facilitate meetings with you and your loved ones, including sensitive inheritance conversations.

Planning for life

A plan can turn overwhelming obstacles into manageable objectives.That’s why our approach starts with customized plan building.

We’ll talk about priorities and your personal definition of financial security.
