We don’t offer generic advice. Our integrated wealth platform is engineered specifically to solve the unique financial friction points, complex compensation structures, and tax challenges for Charlotte's highest impact earners.
THE CORPORATE EXECUTIVE
You're earning a great income at a firm like BofA, Wells Fargo, Honeywell, or Duke Energy, but your time is scarce. You have the cash flow, but you lack the margin to build an optimal plan. We take the mental load of RSU vesting schedules, backdoor Roths, and tax-leak mitigation off your plate. You reclaim your weekends, knowing your financial plan is streamlined.
THE MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL
Whether you are an attending at Atrium Health, a specialist at Novant, or a partner in private practice, you face a compressed timeline to build wealth after a decade of training. We act as your Personal CFO to accelerate your wealth trajectory, coordinate K-1 tax filings for practice partners, optimize cash flow to tackle student debt, and collaborate with specialists to shield your assets from professional liability.
THE FINANCIAL SERVICES LEADER
You manage risk and capital for institutions in Uptown, but your personal financial junk drawer is neglected. For managing directors and private equity partners, we build a systematic framework for your variable bonuses, manage the compliance and blackout periods of your trading, and map out the exact net-worth milestones required to fund an exit strategy on your terms.
THE TECH & FINTECH INNOVATOR
From South End startups to remote tech executives, your compensation is heavily weighted in equity. We build a strategy for your RSUs, ESPPs, and ISOs. For those nearing a liquidity event, we partner with specialized CPAs to utilize QSBS strategies, implement real-time tax-loss harvesting, and aggressively shield your windfall from taxes.
THE ENTREPRENEUR & BUSINESS OWNER
Your business is your greatest asset—and your biggest risk. We build the infrastructure to systematically extract wealth from your business and convert it into financial independence. We coordinate with tax partners to implement retirement plans and maximize QBI deductions, establish liability firewalls, and design the pre-liquidity blueprint to ensure you get the most out of your business, and your other assets.
THE LAW FIRM PARTNER
You live in a world governed by billable hours, client demands, and high-stakes outcomes at top-tier Charlotte firms like Moore & Van Allen, McGuireWoods, or Robinson Bradshaw. As you transition into partnership, your compensation shifts from a predictable salary to highly variable K-1 distributions, firm buy-ins, and a massive tax burden. You are generating significant wealth, but you have zero time to manage its architecture.
We act as your Personal CFO, providing the infrastructure to optimize your complex compensation and buy back your non-billable hours.
THE ACTIVE RETIREE & PHILANTHROPIST
You're shifting your focus from building wealth to managing and deploying it. We coordinate your portfolio withdrawals, pensions, and Social Security into a tax-optimized monthly paycheck. By partnering with our CPA network, we implement tools like Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) and Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) to maximize your community impact while reducing your tax burden, allowing you to focus on more important things.
Sophisticated wealth management goes beyond asset allocation; it optimizes your most valuable asset: your time. We design the blueprint that transforms high-volume cash flow into financial independence.
