EXPERIENCE THAT TRANCENDES INDUSTRIES AND GENERATIONS
From startup executives and doctors to attorneys and CPAs, I have developed a dynamic practice that includes a diverse book of clients. Whether you are planning for retirement or financing a major acquisition, I can help provide sage guidance to help you achieve your goals.
Healthcare professionals often face unique wealth management challenges, including fluctuating incomes, substantial debt loads, high tax burdens, and the complexities of running a practice. At Morgan Stanley, we offer tailored business solutions that work collaboratively with you to ensure your start, build, and exit strategies are fully aligned with your financial goals.
Whether you require assistance navigating the sale or transfer of your business, the advice or capital required to grow the business, or simply a plan designed to safeguard your assets and build on your continued success, Morgan Stanley is equipped to help you.
Whether you are in Big Law, work as in-house counsel, the public sector, or considering a move between, I am familiar with the career paths and compensation structures of the industry. Taking the time to lay out a financial plan encompassing these considerations and compensation details enables me to help you develop a roadmap for your future and an increased comfort level.
A PLAN THAT PROVIDES MORE OPPORTUNITIES
My clients are industrious individuals driven by providing a better future for themselves and more importantly, their families. I understand every family is different and has a unique dynamic. That is why I listen carefully to your concerns and wishes before providing thoughtful advice that caters to your specific needs.
LifeView is a suite of planning tools that includes goal-specific analysis that I can use with my clients to create a holistic strategy that integrates the various aspects of an individual's financial life, including investments and cash management needs.
Goals Planning System (GPS) is Morgan Stanley's own integrated planning tool. Built on the Firm's intellectual capital and capabilities, GPS is an intuitive and efficient platform used to quickly assess whether a client is "On Track" to achieving their financial goals.
With a CashPlus brokerage account, you can manage your cash and get more value, more protection, and a seamless digital experience. Contact me to discuss or click here. Terms apply.
Intelligent Withdrawal gives us the ability to look across multiple accounts and products to identify the right combination of securities and tax lots to sell so you can help meet spending needs while making the most out of your hard-earned money.
Our Portfolio Risk Platform, backed by institutional-caliber analytics, assesses thousands of risk factors using a holdings-based approach to assess a portfolio's exposures, analyze how securities behave together across portfolios and forecast how they influence risk and return moving forward.
RESOURCES TO HELP YOU PREPARE
My goal is to create an effective plan for my clients that not only accounts for all the nuances of their busy lives but also, minimizes their taxes so they have more saved for retirement. Below are resources from the Firm that I can leverage to support that effort.
Opportunities for tax strategies ebb and flow with the fluctuations of the market and not with our fiscal calendars. Incorporating tax-sensitive investing into the daily trading activity of an account can capitalize on market fluctuations and potentially yield better after-tax results.
Smart tax planning can help you save more for retirement and keep more of what you've already saved. Consider these tax-efficient retirement planning strategies.
Learn how Morgan Stanley Tax Management Services can help efficiently manage your capital gains with a complimentary and fully personalized experience.
Taxes can be a substantial drag on investment returns. Morgan Stanley Total Tax 365 offers access to a broad range of tax-efficient strategies to help you integrate tax planning into your investment process all year long, maximize portfolio after-tax return potential and help keep more of what you earn.
