Wealth Management


The Dow Wealth Management Group is dedicated to helping successful business owners of closely-held companies with Wealth Management around exit planning as well as goals such as passing a legacy, preserving and maximizing family values and wealth, and achieving a fulfilled life in their 'Third Act'.

Welcome

As owner(s) you understand how to run your business but may have never exited one.  We understand that you spend the majority of your career creating value in your business and eventually will need to monetize and preserve this hard earned wealth.  It can be a complicated process and there is only one chance to get it right.

Our Philosophy

Exit planning combines the plan, concept, effort, and process into a clear, simple strategy to build a business that is transferable through strong human, structural, customer, and social capital. The future of the business owner, his/her family, and the business itself are addressed by exit planning through creating value today.


Our exit-option-agnostic perspective allows us to collaborate with a seasoned, multi-disciplinary team of professionals to support your success and use each other’s in-depth knowledge and experience for your benefit.

Focus On High-Net-Worth Individuals and Business Owners

We offer clients a breadth of potential solutions, premier customer service and financial tools based on their unique circumstances. No matter what your goals may be, the process begins by defining and prioritizing your financial goals based on the following:

  • Health: Managing healthcare expenses, now and in the future
  • Home: Upsizing, downsizing, remodeling or buying a vacation home
  • Family: Taking care of your family and other people in your life
  • Leisure: Spending your free time in meaningful ways
  • Giving: Volunteering, mentoring and giving to charities
  • Work: Working in retirement, selling or starting a business
  • Finance: Bringing it all together; defining your financial goals
The team’s industry knowledge and experience helps them provide you with:
  • Potential risk management strategies
  • Trust and estate planning services
  • Tax-minimization strategies
  • Access to Bank of America for your credit and banking needs
