Who We Help

How do I balance my work life with my personal life? Or, I know my finances are important but life is just too crazy to think about them right now. Does this sound like you? Finding an optimal work/life balance is the goal for most executives and busy professionals, and often times the development of a well thought out financial plan is not prioritized, which can create problems later on. Do I have enough life insurance? What should I do with my 401k? Which college savings plan is best for my kids? How much should I be saving? What are my investment goals? These are just a few common questions we help professionals answer on a regular basis. At the end of the day, the most important thing is that you develop a plan, are held accountable to it, and make good decisions.

There is an understandable desire for business owners to keep their corporate and personal finances separate. However, our experience suggests this is far more difficult than it appears, with most entrepreneurs finding it difficult to effectively manage their finances on both sides. As we help you and your family stay on track with your personal finances, you can get back to what you do best, which is building value within your company. And with our expertise in retirement and business succession planning, our role with business owners is to advise them over the long term, not just suddenly appear at the point of a key liquidity event. We serve as your advocate and thinking partner, both well before and long after you transition away from your business.

Whether you are retired, thinking about retirement, or simply don’t believe in retirement, we can help. The retirement decision is not only about determining financial security, but also involves psychological preparation, open communication, and reviewing options and assumptions over time. Getting this decision right could be one of the most important decisions in your life. We have the technical resources to run the numbers, but it is often the emotional component that is most difficult to overcome. Should I retire? Will I have to cut back on my spending? What will I do now that I’m no longer working? We have helped dozens of clients successfully navigate these difficult questions and can help you too.

If you have recently experienced a major life crisis such as a divorce, death of a spouse, or the sale of a business, it is likely you have experienced some frustration when it comes to making financial decisions. This isn’t due to a lack of intelligence or capability, but rather the stress that major changes can place on your body and cognitive abilities. We have a proven process to reduce stress and improve decision making by helping you organize your to-do list, patiently walking you through decisions big and small, and taking the time necessary to make sure you truly understand all the moving parts. Our approach results in improved confidence, better decision-making, and having a trusted advocate to stand by your side each step of the way.
