Getting to know you is not only one of the greatest rewards of the work we do. Our journey together begins with a deep dive Mutual Discovery meeting designed to uncover what’s most important to you and your family. Unsurprisingly, in our more than four decades of service we’ve found that many common themes emerge during our discovery sessions and across the lifespans of our client relationships. These experiences give us valuable insight that informs the short- and long-term strategies we develop together with you. In essence, we tap into the “The Power of We” to help make the most of your wealth.

A client’s spouse suddenly passed away. Beyond the emotional trauma associated with this tragedy, they were faced with the need to take over all their finances – with little or no knowledge of how to do so.
A couple invested in a consumer services business and became managing partners of the company.

The clients wanted to consider how best to pass wealth to their children and future generations, while mitigating future estate taxes.
A couple who had been building substantial wealth for decades began to realize that they had done minimal wealth-related planning. They wanted to identify who they should help… and how. They also came to recognize that reducing taxes would be integral to their strategy.
A senior executive at a tech company had accumulated a significant amount of paper wealth. As their company’s success grew and a liquidity event became more likely, they realized they needed to carefully think through the cash flow, income tax, and estate tax implications for a variety of possible outcomes.
As a successful partner at a large law firm began accumulating meaningful levels of wealth, they faced an increasingly complex financial picture. What questions should they be asking and answering – and how could they find time to do so given how busy they were?
