Financial Planning & Asset Management
Whether you are a self-made earner or an executive on the move, we offer financial counsel to support your goals.
SERVICES
At the center of our solutions is your investment and financial plan. We also help vet and facilitate legal advice and consult on privacy strategies to help protect you and your new wealth
Equity Compensation Planning
Our team has specialized in stock option planning since 1994, when equity compensation became more widely available to employees. Whether you have RSUs, ISOs or NSOs, we know the nuances of stock option planning and how to create a personalized equity compensation strategy that prioritizes your financial goals tax-efficiently.
Wills & Trusts
We partner with estate planning attorneys to help ensure that the following important objectives are clearly and thoughtfully addressed in your will and trust:
- Your estate plan is organized and well-documented so your loved ones do not have to pick up the pieces from an outdated or nonexistent paper trail;
- Your assets are distributed in the way you intend; and
- Your younger children are taken care of in the unlikely event of your passing.
Tax Planning
We’re bold in our belief that bringing tax efficiency to a transaction can be more impactful than any investment decision. We also believe that tax implications should not be considered in a vacuum. That’s why we consider them as one important element – not the sole factor – in your financial decision-making process.
Real Estate Planning
There’s the excitement of buying your first home or vacation property, and then there’s the reality of managing the deal. From purchasing your property to refinancing your current mortgage, we oversee communications with your real estate agent and mortgage lender to save you time and identify potential blind spots.
