Strategies-for-Life’s-Liquidity (SELL) Process and multigenerational planning
As anyone who has ever built a business knows, you have to start with a plan. The same is true of your personal finances.
When it comes to understanding how much money is actually needed to pursue lifetime goals, many entrepreneurs in the process of selling a business may not have all the answers. That’s why we utilize our Strategies-for-Life’s-Liquidity (SELL) Process to understand your current financial picture in light of how various possible liquidity scenarios may affect funding the future you envision.
We can help to implement a multigenerational plan that addresses your family’s needs, ranging from income to wealth transfer and preservation, to philanthropic pursuits. If people and causes are important to you, they are important to us.
