My goal is to add clarity, simplicity, and results to your complicated life

Serving Business Owners and Professionals in Southeast Michigan
Our clients tend to be very busy individuals who look to maximize the value of their time.  They value building a thoughtful and agile wealth plan with a trusted financial advisor who will care about their wealth as much as they do, allowing them to keep their focus on the most important passions in their lives, such as business, family, philanthropy, or leisure.  Our strategies assist in:

  • Investment management;
  • Business succession planning;
  • Providing insights into philanthropic and multi-generational issues;
  • Identify tax planning considerations; and
  • Managing tax-qualified retirement plans (under ERISA – the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974)
Having attained the Accredited Investment Fiduciary® designation, I have gained a fundamental understanding of the principles of fiduciary responsibility and processes for meeting a defined standard of care, and I draw on this knowledge in assisting business plan sponsors in addressing their fiduciary responsibilities.  I offer a complimentary Fiduciary Governance review for select retirement plans.  Through this analysis, I will point out where risks could be mitigated and cost savings could be realized.  The primary goal for the review is to provide you with information and/or solutions to help you meet your fiduciary responsibilities.  I also passionately advocate for the retirement outcomes of plan participants through innovative plan design, one-on-one education, risk management, and curated investments that seek to protect investors from severe losses in down markets while providing the opportunity for quality participation in rising markets.

Serving Executives
As an executive, your personal portfolio deserves the same level of dedication and thought you devote to your professional success.  We serve clients that are founders and/or senior executives of public companies with a significant portion of their wealth tied up in company stock and stock options.  They look to us to help them manage the risks associated with those holdings in a tax-efficient manner.
