Business transition, exit and succession planning

Our clients are deeply concerned about the role—positive and negative—that wealth will play in their families. But talking about future financial responsibility can be an emotional and challenging topic for both parents and children. Whether you’re discussing an inheritance, insurance, a business transition or wealth transfer, an open, honest discussion among family members makes the process more rewarding for everyone. Let us show you how.

Whether you’re looking to reduce estate tax exposure or pass on a family legacy to the next in line, we can work with you to develop a custom strategy for pursuing those goals. We’ll connect with our extensive network of estate planning professionals to help you build a comprehensive plan that looks holistically at your priorities so you can confidently transfer assets to future generations.

Our team understands the passion and vision that's necessary to build a successful company—and the concerns that arise when transitioning your ownership role. Whether you are keeping the business in the family, or exiting to pursue a new venture, we address the full cycle of your business goals. From start-up to growth to sale or succession, our team helps you pursue critical liquidity, estate planning and investment priorities.

“A family's values about money are what lasts. Many are concerned that money causes problems, but we have found our process around families and money has allowed money to be very healthy within a family unit. Instead of strife we see strength.“ - Jonathan Beukelman, CIMA

            Jeremy Keller’s career in wealth management began during one of the most challenging periods in modern financial history: the 2008 financial crisis. Entering the industry as an intern during a turbulent period, he quickly learned the importance of resilience, disciplined planning, and building meaningful client relationships. Those lessons continue to guide his work today as a Managing Director at Montage Financial Group.

            With more than 18 years of experience, Jeremy specializes in helping families navigate the complexities of wealth across generations. As the team’s CFO and a member of the Montage Chief Investment Office, he combines strategic oversight with meticulous attention to detail. Jeremy enjoys diving deep into the numbers to uncover insights that help clients make informed financial decisions.

            While his analytical expertise is a valuable asset, Jeremy believes wealth management is, at its heart, about people. He is dedicated to building long-term relationships with families, helping them pursue financial clarity, achieve legacy goals, and make confident decisions through every stage of life. By engaging with multiple generations, both together and individually, Jeremy helps families address the opportunities and challenges that wealth can bring, fostering alignment, understanding, and lasting financial stewardship.

            “Being the trusted advisor and doing well for the people I care for is extremely rewarding. By spending time with family members together and individually, we’re able to help them through the challenges that wealth can bring.”

              Brannon believes in simplifying with precision. As a Financial Advisor with the Montage Financial Group, he leverages his organizational expertise to help manage and implement all aspects of a family's wealth plan-- from financial planning and estate strategies to mortgages, life insurance, and cash flow management.

              “I find it humbling and rewarding to know that we play a big part in simplifying people’s lives, both high level and on a granular level. Earning their trust is hard to do, and we never take for granted the position we hold to effect positive change to help families.” - Brannon Johnson

              Brannon takes great pride in partnering with high-net-worth families to understand their goals and create strategies to help achieve them. The Montage Financial Group focuses on being many things for a few people, instead of the other way around. Through focusing on the family, including educating the next generation, Brannon builds lifelong relationships with clients that are built on integrity and care for the family.

                          Jeffrey Johnson

                          Jeff is fascinated by the financial markets, driven by a passion that was ignited in him at a young age. “My father taught me a lot about saving, investing and the markets,” he reflects. “When I was 10, he gave me The Wall Street Journal Guide to Money and Investing. That pretty much laid the foundation for my lifelong interest in finance.”


                          "Through teamwork, we help our clients flourish and solve complicated problems by organizing and simplifying their financial lives." - Jeffrey Johnson


                          Today, Jeff is integral to Montage Financial Group, serving in both advisory and analytical roles that involve portfolio development and implementation, market research and commentary, portfolio analysis and family office services. He spent four years as an Associate Vice President at Christie’s Fine Auctioneers in New York. He learned about art as an investment, how multigenerational family relationships are cultivated, the liquidity needs of estates and how taking care of clients with exceptional service is paramount.

                           “I like to think, if this were my money and I were in their same situation, what would I do for myself? What allocation would I be comfortable with?”

                                                  Tim grew up playing a lot of baseball, and was considered a utility player (someone who can play several positions competitively). He has since carried his team player mentality to the Montage Financial Group,  believing a strong team needs someone with the ability to jump in and quickly navigate complex situations.   

                                                  Tim’s primary role is to manage the team’s trading. This is accomplished by working closely with advisors on updating existing allocations, implementing new strategies, and insuring clients are receiving prompt execution on trades.

                                                  Experience

                                                  Prior to joining the team, Tim was executing trades for an Institutional Sales Team, and has been with UBS for 17 years.
