Our Services

Retirement Planning

Achieving business success requires significant planning and preparation, but this should not come at the expense of securing a comfortable life in retirement.

Wealth Management

By aligning with a fiduciary wealth advisor, a business owner & their family has an advocate to help achieve long-term financial security.

Insurance Review

Protecting the properties, assets, and lifestyles of those with wealth and fame requires sophisticated expertise, tailored solutions, strict privacy, and exceptional service that can only be achieved through a trusted advisor relationship with a qualified insurance broker.

Mortgages/Real Estate Planning

It’s of utmost importance that when planning for the future, a business owner takes into consideration their finances- mortgages and real estate stability being an important part of their financial future.

Charitable Giving

Many entrepreneurs & business owners look back to their communities to give back to their favorite charities. Charitable giving can make a huge impact not only on fundraising but can build local awareness for a fundraising campaign. We can help with your most personal financial decisions.

Family College Savings Plans

Many small business owners desire to take care of their families. One way to help ensure success of siblings and other family members is to set up a college saving plan. Success breeds success. We can help.

Family Trusts

Family trusts & estate planning for business owners can be a challenge. For most clients, estate planning takes into account wealth that will be accumulated over many years. A business owner’s wealth is sometimes seasonal & erratic.

Large Purchase Counseling

Very often with new found wealth comes the desire to spend it. With a solid and responsible financial plan in place, these large purchases can be enjoyed for a lifetime and even for many generations.

What Drives Us

Our Mission

One of the common mistakes business owners make when they build out their team of advisors is to assume that their local family financial advisor is qualified to work with them.  Unfortunately, one size does not fit all. And experience counts.

Most financial advisors may be able to construct an standard, cookie cutter investment portfolio. But very few specialize in working with business owner and entrepreneurs with uneven cash flow, uncertain job security and lack of financial expertise. Plus, many are often targets of lawsuits, investment scams, and the other complexities that come along with being a business owner in today’s world.

Working with business owners requires a comprehensive approach – looking at their entire financial picture. Both today and in the future, not just investments. Because as you would hire the best surgeon to fix your injured knee, we feel business owners and entrepreneurs should do the same when it comes to managing their wealth.

Owners of businesses of all sizes always will have very unique financial needs. Evaluating and planning not only in the short term but also for long-term needs is an especially important step for them.  An objective and experienced advisor is an important partner to create comprehensive financial plans that address the present as well as the future.
