Concentrated Stock Position Planning

If $1M+ of your net worth lives in a single stock, your company's, an inheritance, a position you've held for decades, you have a real problem and a few good options.

Exchange funds

for diversifying without triggering taxes

Direct indexing

for long-term tax-efficient diversification

10b5-1 plans

for executives subject to trading windows

Charitable remainder trusts

for highly appreciated positions

Qualified opportunity zone funds

for deferring large capital gains

Corporate Exit Planning

Leaving corporate is life decision dressed up as a tax and investment problem.

You've received RSUs, ISOs, NSOs, deferred comp, maybe held onto a chunk of company stock. The wrong exit timing or strategy can hand a year or two of income straight to the IRS. The right one funds the next chapter.

We build exit plans that cover the four things that actually matter:

Smart tax strategy

exit in the year that costs you the least

Health coverage

bridging the gap between corporate insurance and Medicare

Income plan

knowing exactly what funds your life and from where

Timeline

knowing exactly when you can pull the ripcord
