WHY CLIENTS HIRE ME

My core principles are simple: putting clients first, leading with exceptional ideas, doing the right thing, and giving back. Leading with these ideas has enabled me to help countless clients navigate their complex financial situations. In addition to these principles, I have identified 4 primary reasons why clients choose to work with us:
Investment Experience
I combine the vast resources of the Morgan Stanley Global Investment Committee with a broad array of third-party, best-in-class investment strategies. These streamlined quantitative programs allow me to simplify the decision-making process when advising clients.
Best Practice Sharing
Sharing best practices has resulted in a deep understanding of the pre/post liquidity planning and relationships which clients require.
Conflict-Free
I am tasked with having the best interests of our clients in mind at all times.
Commitment to Clients
No client is the same: it’s why I take time to listen to you. Listening and having a deep understanding of your situation allows for me to provide solutions specifically tailored to you.

NEXT PHASE

You’ve spent a big part of your life growing your business. As the next phase of life approaches, you are wondering “what should I do next”? Whether it’s spending more time with family or taking on life-fulfilling challenges? These decisions aren’t easy to make on your own.

My philosophy is unique and I understand that it is hard to quantify one’s life work. However, I am focused on the fact that if you exit your business efficiently, it can have long lasting financial benefits . The process is complex and emotional; having a wealth advisor to navigate these challenges is important.

I find that having a succession plan in place will ultimately set you up for success. This is not to say that you should stop running your business, but to encourage you to take time out of you busy schedule to map out the next phase of your life.
Control
I want to provide as many options as possible to our business clients. Whether it’s receiving continued income for yourself and your family, or donating to charity for a lasting legacy. I am here to guide you to control these outcomes.
Transition
I work with my clients in transition. Even under perfect circumstances, it’s not easy. Giving up control, reinventing yourself outside of your business can play a critical role in having a successful transition plan. During this transition, you need a team of professionals that have your best interest at heart.
Retirement
I help you answer important questions before you walk away from your business. Do you have enough resources and income to live comfortably in retirement? Will you continue to work part time? For enjoyment or to supplement your retirement? I am here to help you answer these questions.
Planning Your Legacy
Whether you have a will, trust, or a health proxy, you need a well-crafted and personal estate planning strategy that will keep your values and wishes intact when you pass your legacy to your beneficiaries. I do not provide or legal advice but will help implement a plan created by our tax and legal advisors. Your beneficiaries are not limited to your children; Beneficiaries can include your favorite charity, extended family or community organization. A plan that meets your needs will help you achieve your wishes.

4When Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC, its affiliates and Morgan Stanley Financial Advisors and Private Wealth Advisors (collectively, “Morgan Stanley”) provide “investment advice” regarding a retirement or welfare benefit plan account, an individual retirement account or a Coverdell education savings account (“Retirement Account”), Morgan Stanley is a “fiduciary” as those terms are defined under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and/or the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), as applicable. When Morgan Stanley provides investment education, takes orders on an unsolicited basis or otherwise does not provide “investment advice”, Morgan Stanley will not be considered a “fiduciary” under ERISA and/or the Code. For more information regarding Morgan Stanley’s role with respect to a Retirement Account, please visit www.morganstanley.com/disclosures/dol. Tax laws are complex and subject to change. Morgan Stanley does not provide tax or legal advice. Individuals are encouraged to consult their tax and legal advisors (a) before establishing a Retirement Account, and (b) regarding any potential tax, ERISA and related consequences of any investments or other transactions made with respect to a Retirement Account. Individuals should consult their tax advisor for matters involving taxation and tax planning and their attorney for matters involving trust and estate planning, charitable giving, philanthropic planning and other legal matters.
