There is a 100% certainty you will leave your business. Most haven’t planned for that and there is no dress rehearsal. This may be the largest transaction of your life and there can be family dynamics that play a role in furthering the anxiety and stress around this event. Exit planning involves one of three choices: A sale to an insider, a sale to an outsider, or keeping the business until death. Successful exit planning requires us to help you protect and grow the business all while preparing for the best valuation at exit, no matter which choice is chosen.

Generally all young adults want to go out and forge their own path. However, it may be in your and your families best interest to consider using the advisor who has helped your parents get to where they are in life. The reason? Integration. One of the biggest challenges in wealth transfer from one generation to the next is a lack of clear communication. If you work with the advisor who has helped your parents build their wealth, that advisor can also help you prepare for the day when you may need to help your parents as they age while ALSO helping you build your net worth in a proven methodology.

Young Professionals FAQs

Traditional retirement often assumes you retire in your mid-60s with Social Security and Medicare as safety nets. Early retirement planning focuses on bridging the gap until those benefits begin, managing higher healthcare expenses pre-Medicare, creating sustainable income streams earlier, and building flexibility for longer lifespans—all while preserving your nest egg through market volatility and unexpected costs.

Early retirement requires careful planning to ensure your portfolio lasts 30–40 years or more. We can help you calculate a safe withdrawal rate, optimize tax-efficient withdrawals (e.g., Roth conversions, capital gains harvesting), manage sequence-of-returns risk, and adjust your plan for healthcare costs, inflation, and lifestyle changes—so you can retire confidently without running out of money.

Many advisors rely on active management, market timing, or simple S&P 500 indexing, which often underperform after fees and behavioral mistakes. Our evidence-based strategy tilts portfolios toward small-cap and value stocks using the Fama-French factors, combined with global diversification and rigorous rebalancing. This academically grounded method helps avoid emotional decisions that erode wealth.

Generally poor investor behavior drives clients to gamble and speculate with their money…without even knowing it. Chasing hot sectors (tech or health care), chasing the “hot hand” (SP500 only portfolios) and individual stock picking are all common things we see in new client’s portfolios. Sometimes it’s by design, but oftentimes the client isn’t even aware of the speculation and risk in their portfolio. We mitigate all of this by never predicting the future or gambling with our client’s money. Rather we use Nobel prize winning research from academics like Eugen Fama, Ken French and Harry Markowitz to build and maintain client portfolios.
