With the service and attentiveness of a boutique firm and the global resources of UBS, one of the world’s largest wealth managers, we work closely with each of our clients to help address their complex wealth management needs.


Corporate compensation guidance

Senior executives face a unique set of challenges by virtue of their compensation structure. We have deep experience with many local companies, including Procter & Gamble, General Electric, Cintas, Cincinnati Bell and The Kroger Co.

With complicated equity award packages—as well as potentially complex tax consequences—executives need specialized advice. We have a number of solutions designed to address these needs.

Executive compensation
Our team is well positioned to help manage the complexities of equity compensation plans.

  • Concentrated stock services (monetization, hedging)
  • Stock option solutions
  • Restricted securities (liquidation and risk management)
  • Experience in hedging and lending strategies (collateral loans, OTC option collars, etc.)
  • Estate planning strategies with executive compensation

Integrated financial and retirement planning
Our comprehensive and customized services integrate company benefits and compensation strategies with your personal financial life. We can help you:

  • Understand the company compensation and benefit plans
  • Determine short- and long-term financial goals
  • Develop long-term financial plans addressing: retirement, estate, taxes, insurance and investment management
  • Develop an implementation plan

“Our team has the capabilities and experience to offer innovative solutions designed specifically for clients with concentrated wealth.”

— Tom Lieser

 
Personalized financial planning

Our planning process begins with a series of meaningful conversations. We then work with you to establish a comprehensive financial plan that prioritizes your personal and business goals.

Managing your wealth goes beyond managing your money. By actively listening, we’ll discover what’s important to you and work together to make a plan to help you achieve it.

An integrated plan
Our goals-based approach to planning can help you see the connections between each area of your financial life, including insurance and liability, education funding, retirement, trust and estate and philanthropy.

A lifetime financial strategy for you and your family
We are committed to building long-lasting relationships so we monitor and adjust your plan to make sure your strategy is continually optimized. This helps ensure we keep pace with fluctuating markets, changing tax laws and your evolving family needs. Critical elements of our planning process include:

  • Retirement planning
  • Family needs planning
  • Credit and lending
  • Business succession planning
  • Executive compensation
  • Insurance and liability management
  • Estate planning strategies

Bringing together the best resources
We are trusted by our clients to work directly with their accountants and estate attorneys, whether we’re helping with tax planning or advising on the most prudent strategies for building a legacy.

“Your financial plan is about far more than just numbers. It’s a reflection of your values, your goals, your hopes for the future—and our team is deeply committed to understanding and protecting that vision.”

— Leigh Anne Gage
