Experience

Makes all the difference

Joshua Young

Senior Vice President–Wealth Management

Financial Advisor

I help ESOP companies and their leaders navigate the critical years after the transaction, where long-term stability, repurchase obligations, and personal wealth management come into focus.

As the founder of the Corporate Liquidity Planning Group at UBS, I bring more than 25 years of financial planning experience and six years of deep specialization in the ESOP space. My team and I partner with executives, trustees, and selling shareholders to design liquidity strategies that support both the company’s commitments and the owner’s next chapter.

Our work centers on:

  • Repurchase Obligation Liquidity Planning: building funding strategies that help companies to meet future obligations with confidence.
  • Comprehensive cash and investment planning: aligning corporate reserves with growth and sustainability goals.
  • Creative solutions for selling shareholders: including strategies that diversify concentrated wealth and align assets with family, philanthropic, and lifestyle priorities.

Over the past six years, I’ve been privileged to work on 30+ ESOP engagements, helping companies strengthen their financial foundation and helping owners translate decades of business success into lasting impact. Today, I continue to advocate within the ESOP community for smarter, more intentional approaches to liquidity planning that allow employee-owned companies to thrive for the benefit of their employees and the legacy of their founders.

Financial Advisor

As a Financial Advisor, my most important role is to empower my clients to leave a lasting legacy. Whether guiding business owners through the transition to employee ownership or helping them craft strategic plans for retirement and wealth transfer, I am dedicated to ensuring that their financial goals align with their personal values and aspirations. Every day, I am motivated by the opportunity to make a tangible difference in my clients' lives, helping them navigate their financial journeys with confidence and clarity. My goal is to create holistic strategies that not only preserve and grow their wealth, but also support their broader life ambitions, including family, health and charitable causes. Through this approach, I strive to build lasting relationships and contribute meaningfully to the success and well-being of those who entrust me to serve their financial needs.

With over 24 years of financial industry expertise and leadership, I specialize in advising business owners and their companies, leveraging my institutional and personal financial planning experience to guide clients towards their financial goals. Inspired by my father, a successful business owner, I developed a passion for helping business owners early on in my career and committed myself to excellence in the industry by earning the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER certification, the Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA®) credential and the Chartered Retirement Plans Specialist designation. My holistic approach helps business owners to transition to employee ownership and craft strategies for retirement and wealth transfer.
