Examples of Our Services

The journey to becoming a professional athlete is exciting – and challenging. The Global Sports & Entertaiment Groups can offer financial support at the right moment. Even if an athlete just wants to talk with us to get a second opinion about their options, we're here to help. It's all part of our mission to give back to the sports and entertainment community by providing the skills and knowledge to help athletes make smart choices about their finances. We want athletes to not only think about today, but tomorrow, too.
The Path From Athlete to Entrepreneur
Entrepreneurs and athletes have a lot in common: Both have competitive drives and get-it-done mindsets. They don't shy away from calculated risks and consider failure as a learning opportunity. Many athletes think about what they'll do after sports, some choosing to become entrepreneurs. Learn how a our team can help plan for success.
Investing in Life After the Game
Careers in sports and entertainment follow unique financial trajectories that may benefit from a tailored investing approach. A planned approach with the right asset allocation framework can help athletes and entertainers preserve and, in some cases, enhance their career earnings.
Coogan Accounts: Protecting Your Child Star’s Earnings
When child entertainers and athletes achieve financial success, unique considerations come into play, from financial demands to fiduciary requirements and labor laws. For parents of a rising star, it's essential to carefully manage their child's finances. The entertainment industries are notoriously fickle, and you want to make sure your child's early success leads to a financially secure adulthood.
