Six integrated services for the complete picture.

Retirement planning is not a one-time calculation. It is an ongoing, evolving answer to the question of whether your assets, income streams, and spending can sustain the life you want across thirty or more years of uncertainty. We build a written plan that models Social Security timing, pension elections, healthcare costs, inflation, and the sequence-of-returns risk that quietly undermines underprepared portfolios.

• Monte Carlo cash-flow modeling
• Social Security claiming strategy
• Pension and annuity election analysis
• Roth conversion and tax-bracket sequencing
• Sustainable withdrawal rate analysis
• Healthcare cost modeling through Medicare

We do not sell proprietary funds or generate revenue from the investments we recommend. Every portfolio is built from evidence-based principles: broad diversification, low costs, systematic rebalancing, and disciplined tax management. Your allocation is specific to your goals, your timeline, and your actual risk capacity, not a questionnaire score.

• Custom asset allocation per goal
• Tax-loss harvesting and asset location
• Direct indexing for taxable accounts
• Held-away 401(k) management included
• Factor-tilted portfolios for long horizons
• ESG-compatible portfolio construction available

Estate documents go stale. Life events, tax law changes, and new assets accumulate while beneficiary designations and titling arrangements sit unchanged for decades. We conduct a comprehensive audit of your estate picture, work directly with your estate attorney, and make sure the financial plan and the legal plan are speaking the same language.

• Beneficiary and titling audit
• Trust funding coordination
• Charitable and legacy strategy
• Estate-tax projection at federal and NC level
• Step-up basis planning
• Generation-skipping and dynasty trust review

Taxes are the largest controllable cost in most financial plans, and most of the highest-impact decisions have to be made before December 31. We work alongside your CPA year-round to identify bracket management opportunities, harvest losses, optimize qualified plan contributions, and sequence income and deductions to minimize lifetime tax burden rather than just the current year's bill.

• Multi-year bracket and AGI planning
• Qualified charitable distributions
• QBI and concentrated-stock strategy
• Coordination with your CPA
• Backdoor and mega backdoor Roth strategy
• Charitable giving optimization (DAF, QCD, CRT)

Corporate executives and business owners face planning challenges that standard wealth management frameworks were not designed for: concentrated equity, multi-year deferred compensation elections, 10b5-1 plan construction, and eventual liquidity events that must be planned years in advance. We bring together the investment, tax, and estate dimensions of these situations under one roof.

• 10b5-1 plans and concentrated stock
• Deferred compensation election analysis
• Business succession and buy-sell review
• Pre-liquidity-event tax planning
• QSBS analysis for startup founders
• ESOP feasibility and planning coordination

Funding education is one of the largest financial commitments families make, and the decisions around it interact with financial aid, estate strategy, and tax planning in ways that are rarely obvious. Beyond the numbers, we also help families think through how to pass values alongside assets, and how to prepare the next generation for the responsibilities they will inherit.

• 529 funding and superfunding strategy
• Custodial and UTMA coordination
• Annual exclusion gifting plans
• Family meetings facilitated on request
• Financial literacy conversations for adult children
• FAFSA impact analysis for college funding
