Before, during, and after a liquidity event, our team works closely with clients to manage and plan for the income and estate tax consequences that will result from the sudden realization of substantial wealth. Our mission is to help clients achieve their goals by simplifying the financial complexities and preparing them for the upcoming wealth transformation.
A liquidity event is generally defined as a sudden realization of substantial wealth through the sale of an illiquid asset (i.e., real estate, privately owned business, etc.) or by exercising stock options that were granted as part of an executive compensation plan. Liquidity events may provide income and estate planning opportunities. Liquidity events also magnify the need to put in place or update essential estate planning documents. We can be a financial resource, helping clients with the process of transferring wealth to the younger generation.
We believe that the best financial strategy is the one that helps you pursue your goals and achieve financial freedom. That's why, from the start, we talk about your aspirations and encourage you to ask questions about issues that matter most to you. Our process is designed to deliver a customized, consistent experience to assist clients not only in asset diversification and wealth preservation, but in areas that go beyond portfolio management.

The earlier you start planning what you want your life to look like afterward, the more opportunity you have to implement tax-efficient strategies that will allow you to maximize your hard earnings for the long term. Examples of some pre-event tax minimization and estate planning strategies available include:
Regardless of whether you go through a rigorous planning process prior to a substantial liquidity event, it would still be prudent to pursue an equally rigorous, comprehensive post-liquidity-event planning process. This process will vary depending on your personal circumstances and the nature of the event. Nevertheless, there are several fundamental steps that must be considered following a liquidity event – even in the absence of pre-event planning, including:
