Financial
Planning
Building Cash Flow Plans, Projecting Life Event Impacts, & Tailoring Financial Plans
An integrated financial plan gives you a clear roadmap of your future.
Many ordinary financial plans are built independently from an investor's portfolio, tax strategy, and estate strategy. Our approach takes a different route: we build living financial plans that adapt and change with your financial situation, goals, and objectives.
Integrating your portfolio's income and equity growth targets, your tax strategies, and building comprehensive models based on where you want to go is how we build financial plans into a comprehensive wealth management strategy.
Corporate
Attorney
Optimizing Family Office Structure, Evaluating Tax Changes, & Monitoring Potential Regulatory Issues
Strategically optimizing a family office's legal structure can have profound impacts on its financial success.
Larger single-family offices typically retain a corporate attorney tasked with monitoring political and regulatory changes that may impact your wealth management strategy. Our advisors work with partnered corporate attorneys to take a proactive approach to keeping the legal structure of your family office in an optimal position.
An optimized family office structure also has significant impact on the tax-effectiveness of wealth management strategies, including income generation and tax minimization.

Mitigating Risks, Minimizing Costs, & Strategically Positioning Coverage
Insurance planning can be costly and burdensome if left uncontrolled.

Our clients work with our in-house insurance advisors to create comprehensive coverage plans that provide the right amount of protection while controlling costs and premiums.
