Advisors with a Unique Outlook and even better Solutions

Our Approach

Find the problem, fix the problem. It doesn’t get any simpler than that. Our focus is on your biggest hurdles. We’ve aligned ourselves with the best tax and legal professionals that allows us to offer exceptional value. One such example comes to mind: Last year we worked closely with one of our client’s CPAs where we were able to save him over $700k in capital gains tax. This in turn allowed him to have the liquidity he needed so he could keep his competitive advantage to prosper in the new year.

Let’s take a look at how we’ve helped some of our other clients:

Doctor-Prenuer

Our 50 year-old doctor out of California struggles to keep most of the income he works so hard for. The more he makes the more he turns over to his silent partner – Uncle Sam. Due to his high-earnings, he has historically parted ways with 50% of his income. Our solution – Keep more of what you make and now and enjoy it later in retirement. We created a tax-free income from age 65-100 and multiple millions of savings over his lifetime.

Agency Owner in FL

One of our favorite cases was a 56-year-old Independent Insurance Agency Owner in Florida. It’s favorable to run a business in Florida because we enjoy no state income taxes, however; due to our client’s high earnings he found himself forfeiting much of his income each year. Our solution - Create an alternative pension that will potentially provide $40,000 of tax-free income

for 35 + years after he retires.

It’s Cool to Save Money

Last but not least is our 40-year old Independent Air Condition Repairman from Florida. Being an independent business owner with no employees our client has made a good living over the years. With high income comes high taxes so he looked to us to keep more of what the made and create a retirement starting at age 65. Our solution - With time on his side, 5 years of investing $20,000 per year will potentially produce 35 + years of tax-free income.
