As advisors to a select group of business owners, professional athletes, institutions and multigenerational families, BV Group is uniquely positioned to help you navigate the complexities of your financial life. We understand the challenges, and opportunities, you face—and can help you plan for, and pursue, the goals that matter most to you and your family.
Our highly experienced team of investment professionals and former CPAs will work closely with you to craft tailored strategies that help you grow and preserve your wealth. From impactful investment ideas to charting a path for your business exit or retirement, we are there to guide and advise you—with commitment, passion and care.
Working with diverse clients with specific needs, our team sees it as our top responsibility to understand each aspect of your unique and often complicated financial life.
For years we’ve worked alongside successful entrepreneurs and founders as they’ve taken their companies full circle. From startup to rapid growth to liquidity, we understand your challenges and have the experience, resources and connections to help you plan proactively and make smarter decisions about how best to monetize your company.
Our process takes you from the initial stages of exit or succession planning all the way through the transaction close. We develop a personalized strategy to help manage the proceeds and pursue your future financial goals—and life goals after you step away.
Solutions for Founders:
BV Group has been working with professional athletes for over three decades and with a former athlete on the team, we are aware of the challenges you may be facing. The spotlight is exhilarating and the consequences of success can be great—both personally and financially. How are you preparing for it?
Power your success with a well-thought-out plan. For baseball players and other professional athletes, there is no such thing as a “regular” income stream. Because your career window can be relatively short, you need the right advice to help you protect the success you’ve achieved. Our team has earned the trust and confidence of many renowned athletes for one reason: they value our honesty, our integrity and our persistence in getting the job done and getting it done well.
Solutions for Professional Athletes:
Families with substantial wealth require skilled advice and guidance, and a keen understanding of complex family dynamics. We are adept at working with families like yours, helping you navigate the complexities that come with multiple generations and—often—jurisdictions.
We help you craft a holistic plan for your wealth that considers the goals and aspirations of each generation and articulates a clear path to move you toward them.
Solutions for Multi-Generational Families:
Our team has guided successful individuals, families, corporations and not-for-profit organizations in making the best financial decisions in every type of market environment.
Our clients have benefitted from both our strategic understanding of complex wealth, as well as the deep problem-solving expertise we bring to families, foundations, associations and endowments throughout the country.
As Private Wealth Advisors and Institutional Consultants, our experience and training provide an ongoing source of insight and collaboration.

Years in business as a team
Our client, a professional baseball player, had enjoyed a “celebrity lifestyle” for many years and was on the back end of a guaranteed contract. He had nagging concerns about the future that needed attention, but he was surrounded by people who were not effectively helping him. He had no cohesive plan, had not saved enough for the future and was destined to run out of money at a very early age.
Our 75-year-old client was experiencing complete financial disorganization. He was in a second marriage with two sets of children. He had also had significant philanthropic endeavors. But he had no cohesive estate plan that addressed all his priorities and accumulated wealth.
Our client, the founder and CEO of his company, wanted to build an investment and family corporate structure to maximize his wealth and minimize income and estate taxes. Selling his business was the first step. But post-sale, he was not sure if he would have enough “conservative” assets to fund his future as well as the necessary “risk” assets to invest in new deals.
Our team of professionals distinguishes itself with both financial experience and personal service. We strive to earn your loyalty through hard work, the right advice and a dedication to developing long-term relationships.
