We have seen over the years that simply earning a lot of money does not mean you have confidence when it comes to making plans for the future, choosing your investments or navigating important financial decisions. In fact, sometimes earning more money just means there are more decisions that have to be made and making the wrong one can cost you more.
What you need is competent, timely advice for today so you can have confidence for the future.
We help employees and company leaders create & implement a financial plan they can have confidence in. That includes managing any equity-based compensation and integrating their employer benefits package into the plan. Whether you work for a publicly traded company or your company is pre-IPO, we can help you develop a plan to capitalize on your unique opportunities.
We understand your need for a seamless transition to spending from your portfolio instead of your paycheck. Our cash flow centric planning and portfolio management process is designed to predictably provide the money you need right when you need it for as long as you need it. We are especially skilled at planning for and managing our clients' post-career income needs.
We work with families whose wealth was created through a range of circumstances including business exits, real estate, IPO liquidity events and inheritance. These families understand their growing affluence has introduced a level of complexity to their lives that is best handled with the help of professional financial managers.
