Asset Management: By establishing and maintaining a total financial relationship with clients, I feel I'm able to help them increase their earnings potential and make smarter financial decisions. Consequently, I have access to several investment managers who have been thoroughly screened and are continuously monitored to ensure the highest standards of portfolio management and consistency of investment discipline. They systematically build and maintain diversified portfolios by investing assets across various industries, securities, maturities and issuers. By managing each portfolio as a separate entity, I'm able to take advantage of a wide spectrum of investments while maintaining maximum flexibility and accountability in serving clients' needs.

Liability Management: Managing what our clients owe is equally as important as managing what they own. Proper liability management can help reduce expenses, lower taxes, maximize asset growth and cash flows, and enable clients to take advantage of financial opportunities to enhance their lifestyle or grow their business more rapidly. I analyze the following areas:

Real Estate

Business Expenses

Investments

Personal Debt

Transition Strategies: Regardless of clients' accumulated wealth – or even their age – developing an appropriate transition strategy is crucial to ensuring you have a strategy in place to leave more of your hard-earned assets to their chosen heirs and less to the government. I work with clients' and other professional advisors to determine what estate and/or succession planning strategies are appropriate based upon the client's overall financial situation. My experience in focused in the following areas:

Tax Reduction Strategies

Family Limited Partnerships

Gifting & Charitable Contributions

Current & Successor Trusteeship

Estate Preservation Strategies
