When your wealth outpaces your retirement spending needs, the questions about the next chapter of your life evolve. Our Private Family Advisory follows the same principles and comprehensive planning as our Wealth Advisory, but helps you dig deeper and align your financial success with your family’s values and long-term goals.
We go beyond the balance sheet to help you and your family focus on the impact your wealth could have on others; family dynamics and communication; and personal well-being.

How can our personal and business wealth work together to help us achieve our objectives?
Are all of our advisors proactively collaborating for our benefit?
Our clients often have a desire to make a difference in their community and find value in engaging their kids and grandkids in this process. Many of our clients are self-made, first-generation entrepreneurs and executives and are extremely grateful for their success. They find that engaging their kids and grandkids in giving and charitable endeavors helps instill the values upon which their wealth was built as well as a sense of community and selflessness in the next generation.
Transferring wealth is about far more than cash, real estate, businesses and tax. It's about transferring values, morals and knowledge. Our clients want to ensure the next generation understands the hard work and sacrifices that went into creating their family wealth and that they appreciate the responsibility that comes with stewarding it. We facilitate family meetings with multiple generations to foster open communication where stories are told, concerns are shared and families are brought closer together with a goal of working towards a smooth and confident transfer of wealth.
What good is the wealth you’ve accumulated if you and your family aren’t able to enjoy the fruits of what you’ve built for many years to come? We believe health is wealth. We work with our clients to prioritize their physical and emotional well-being by defining and understanding their purpose after retirement or a business sale and help them understand the tools available to them.
We'd love to discuss how our approach might benefit you or your business. We start with a FIT meeting to talk philosophically about what you believe in, what we believe in, and whether the work we do might be a good choice for you.
