HIGH NET WORTH

The world can be an exceedingly complicated place when significant wealth is involved. Navigating intricate tax and asset-protection strategies. Developing financial, estate, and philanthropic-giving plans. The responsibilities are often complex, time-consuming, and sometimes downright overwhelming. That’s where we come in.

​

We assist some of the region’s most prominent professionals, company executives, business owners, affluent families and family offices, estates, and trusts in managing, preserving and transitioning wealth. We can prepare your annual tax returns and financial statements, as well as help you assess your financial needs and develop strategies that will enable you to achieve your goals and strengthen your financial security.

PRIVATELY HELD BUSINESSES

Privately-held, owner-run and family businesses have needs and perspectives that set them apart from other companies. The business often represents a significant percentage of the owners’ assets, requiring a mix of personal and business planning. Family-owned businesses can have complex succession and corporate governance issues and need support for optimal planning and decision making.

​

From taxes to wealth management to succession planning, business owners often find substantial overlap between their professional lives and their personal financial situation. We’re well versed in helping you navigate both.  We look out for your business and your heirs, and help you protect your life’s work and family.
