Our Purpose

At The Lynch Triolo Bushman Group, we focus on multi-generational families who seek to pass on their values, as well as their assets to the next generation. Our clients also include corporate executives who understand that too much of their wealth is tied up in the stock of their employer but aren’t sure what to do about it. In addition, we often provide guidance to business owners and professionals who are seeking to design an effective retirement plan, or perhaps are contemplating an exit strategy that may involve selling their firm/practice or transferring ownership to family members.

For all these clients, we serve as their primary source of financial advice – the professionals they turn to whenever they need advice about investing, risk management, financing major acquisitions, or even educating their children about the responsibilities that come with the wealth they may inherit someday. We take pride in the fact that many of our clients have trusted their finances with us over the last four decades, and many of them have passed our services to their children and grandchildren as a valued legacy.

Our Process: Focused on You

Our clients are different from those of many Financial Advisors. Rather than seeking assurance that they can retire on time, our clients look for answers to complex questions such as:

“How much of my wealth do I want my heirs to inherit? Are my heirs prepared intellectually and emotionally to manage that level of wealth?”

“What are the best ways to reduce estate tax for myself and my family, while also benefitting my favorite charities?”

“Are my charitable donations having the impact I want them to have?”

Our clients are all unique and have amassed their wealth in different ways, but some group descriptions four our client base include:

Generational Wealth Families
High and Ultra -High Net Worth Individuals
Corporate Executives
Corporations and Partnerships
Non-for-Profit Organizations
Family Trusts
Donor Funds

We believe the more knowledge and understanding you have, the more likely you are to make sound investment decisions, maintaining flexibility to adapt to an ever changing world.

    Introductory Meeting
    We begin with an informal conversation to understand how we may help add value to your situation. This is our opportunity to learn about you and your opportunity to learn about us so that, collectively, we can determine whether we are a good fit for each other. If we all agree to move forward, we will then schedule a more in-depth discussion.
    Icon Image
    In-Depth Discovery
    We continue the dialogue to learning about the values that shape your decisions, the concerns and any unique family circumstances relevant to the goals you’ve set for yourself and your family.

    Icon Image
    Ongoing Oversight
    We expect to make changes and revise goals because life does not happen neatly on a spreadsheet.
