CONSIDER EVERYTHING

What We Do and Provide

Wealth Advice and Counsel

01

Planning and managing family wealth is a complex business endeavor. We serve as a dedicated advisor to serve our clients’ family wealth management needs in deeper, more focused and more helpful relationships.

Cash and Liquidity Management

02

Cash flow is the oxygen of your financial life. We construct a proprietary cash flow bridge for you to help you avoid cash shortfalls and meet your financial obligations while productively managing a separate cash management portfolio for you.

Risk Survey and Insurance Planning

03

Risk and insurance touches every aspect of personal and business life. Risks to your life, health, property, livelihood and ability to work, profession, personal data . . . life is full of risks. Insurance helps keep you whole when bad things occasionally happen.

Tax Planning and Strategy

04

The number of tax regimes we are all faced with is mind-boggling. We help you consider how to best hold title to the investments you make and your exit strategy before you commit capital to help you minimize your overall tax exposures.

Investment Management

05

Precious few plans will succeed without long-term, after-tax compounding of your investment returns. We position and manage your investments to benefit from after-tax, risk-managed, long-term wealth compounding.

Exit and Retirement Planning

06

Whether you’re preparing to transfer your ownership in your largest asset – your privately held business, or you’re preparing for retirement from your career, we help you develop your vision for what’s next to help you maximize value to you and minimize your taxes.

Trust and Estate Planning

07

Planning for the protection and transfer of your estate helps contribute to the legacy of your life’s work. Without a plan, you forfeit opportunities to express your wishes for the fruits of your life’s work and accept the default plan the government has for you.

Philanthropic and Legacy Planning

08

Philanthropic and legacy planning helps enable you to expand your estate planning effort with a mosaic of values, meaning, guidance, purpose and responsibility for your posterity and matters that are of lasting importance to you.

INTER-DISCIPLINARY

How We Do It

We position you as the CEO for your capital.

It’s your capital, so we position you as the highest-ranking member of your wealth management team, responsible for setting the agenda and delegating responsibilities to C-Suite professionals.

The best CEOs recruit and hire proven, accomplished C-Suite professionals.

Our C-Suite professionals join your team.

Professionals whose titles begin with C, meaning the “chiefs” who get things done.
This is the group of people with the most important roles to help you as CEO.
We have decades of deep experience advising wealthy families with complex financial needs.

Together, we focus on your desired results.

Your capital working intelligently for you.
