Our Story and Services
Praesidio is a Latin word that means to guard, watch, protect and defend. We believe that our primary mission, above all else, is to protect, guard and grow our clients’ wealth and financial lives. Jim studied Latin in high school and college, where he gained an appreciation for this classical language.
Jim and Lisa employ a consultative process, which at its core is comprehensive financial planning. Their goal is to bring clarity to the financial world of the uncertain. Working with a network of professionals who have experience in different fields, such as Taxation, Estate Planning, Investment Banking, and Lending allows them to provide strategies for almost all of their client’s financial needs.
Identifying and helping clients capitalize on financial opportunities that may benefit them, in areas such as portfolio management, asset preservation, and providing insurance reviews, is how they consistently seek to add value to their clients. If you are a business owner, they will recommend strategies that span the life cycle of your business. Whether it’s providing retirement plan solutions, business valuations or potential exit strategies, they have the resources that can help you reach your financial and investment goals.

Tax-Efficient Charitable Giving Strategies
Many of us prefer to combine our support for the causes and people we care about with a desire to save on taxes. Fortunately, there are strategies that may help us accomplish both. Whether you want to donate to charity or invest in a loved-one's future, consider these tax-smart ways to help make your giving go further.
Tax-Savvy Ways to Give
The One Conversation You Should Be Having
As hard as it is to swallow, old age can rob one of hard-won independence. And, at some point, we'll all be faced with the reality that we're unable or unfit to make important calls about finances and medical care. Take these steps to ensure that you have trusted decision-makers in place should you—or your parents—become incapacitated.

Learn MoreManaging family wealth is like running a company—you need a strategy to help manage assets and mitigate risks. Bridging the gap between private wealth and investment management services, we work with owners and founders striving to accelerate growth and develop robust succession plans. We help manage the entire process by leveraging some of the top research and investment management resources in the industry.
Planning for the Unplanned
Events such as death, disability, or retirement of a business owner don't have to mean the end of a successful business. Succession planning can provide for an orderly transition of ownership and business management during lifetime or at death. There are various options for structuring and funding buy-sell agreements, key employee needs, and other executive benefits programs.
Transaction of a Lifetime
Creating and growing a successful business is seldom just about money, nor is the decision to exit the business. Whether that exit is through an IPO, merger with another company, private sale, or succession within the family, the process is intense, the details are complex, and the decisions are often an unexpected combination of personal and financial needs. Morgan Stanley has been helping business owners like you bring clarity and confidence to what is typically a once-in-a-lifetime event.
Exiting Your Business
Understanding Your Equity Awards
How performance shares work:
• The difference between incentive and non-qualified stock options, as well as restricted stock awards and units.
• The difference between incentive and non-qualified stock options, as well as restricted stock awards and units.
Concentrated Stock and Options Analysis
Designed for executives who have significant wealth in stock and options of their company, the Concentrated Stock and Options Analysis illustrates various valuations of holdings as well as hypothetical diversification scenarios.
10b5-1 Plans
As a corporate executive, you may be aware of material non-public information at any time and can also face company-imposed quarterly or specific blackout periods restricting market access to trading your company stock. A 10b5-1 plan is designated to address these issues. By utilizing a 10b5-1 plan, you can gain an affirmative defense against claims of insider trading. Your plan can include tailored trading schedule that coordinates with your personal need for liquidity and your own timing requirements.
