Strategic. Disciplined. Proactive.

Lift ascending the mountains

Transition can be truly transformative when managed thoughtfully and prudently-particularly when it comes to business. At Prospect Wealth Partners, our collective experience has helped guide many businesses and their executives through major transitions. Not only do we appreciate the uncertainties and the opportunities they often bring, but also the extreme demands on the time, energy and focus of our clients.

Given your many other priorities, it is important to engage a team you can trust to work diligently and intelligently on your behalf. A team dedicated to the proactive service and attention you need to feel confident that your financial world is well supervised and your goals are on track.

Whether you are currently leading a major liquidity transaction, considering exiting or selling your company, changing careers or planning for retirement or your estate, we can help toward making the best financial decisions for you, your family and your future.

Our initial consultations often show us that, as expert as our clients can be in their professional areas, they don’t manage their personal finances on quite the same level. It isn’t that they make mistakes – they simply get too busy.

        Brian joined the Baldwin Group in 1998 and has constructed client portfolios since 2003.  He has earned several professional designations-Certified Financial Planner™ in 2011, Certified Exit Planning Advisor® in 2018, and most recently, Certified Divorce Financial Analyst® .

        Brian loves learning new things.  This curiosity provides the motivation to develop a detailed understanding of client circumstances, goals, and priorities.  To him, the planning process is analogous to receiving an annual physical from one's doctor – its consists of an examination, a diagnosis, and a prescription.

        Brian graduated from the University of Missouri in 1991, resides in Encinitas, California, and is a parent to two busy teen-aged children, Rachel and Pierce.  In what free time remains, he enjoys cooking, skiing, off-road motorcycling, and restoring neglected Porsches.

        Brian has enjoyed giving back to his community by providing pro-bono financial planning services though the San Diego chapter of the Financial Planning Association.
