Individuals and Families Planning Their Futures
As life unfolds, the pressure to achieve financial security increases. The tipping point may be an IPO or company buyout; a marriage, divorce or inheritance; a realization that one lacks the bandwidth to be one’s own financial steward; or even an acknowledgement that the financial consequences of mistakes are unacceptable. Whatever your particular crossroad, we’re here to relieve those pressures and start building with you.

Holders of Concentrated Stock
One commonality for many Bay Area professionals is having a portfolio that is too concentrated in a particular position or industry. Typically, these companies and their stocks played a key role in the holder becoming wealthy in the first place, so it can be difficult to let go. Taxes compound the dilemma. As advisors to families with wealth, we regularly encounter situations in which clients have large single-stock exposures and need advice as to how to address it. If this is you, we can help.

Those Seeking to Get to "Work Optional"
For most of your career, the idea of freedom from work for a paycheck has been a far-off notion that didn’t feel like it was part of your reality. However at some moment, typically as you enter the last decade of your working years, the desire for financial freedom becomes “real” and unrelenting, and the priority shifts from contributing to your balance sheet through earned income, to living off your balance sheet to support your lifestyle. We help clients optimize the choices they make during the final chapters of their careers, partnering to build a roadmap for a financial future that brings clarity and confidence to the narrative of what life will look like during that time in their lives when work is optional and choices vast, and how all of this will be supported by a deliberate financial strategy.
