    Icon Image
    Philanthropic Planning
    Your philanthropic mission is as unique as your vision of a better world. Determining your objectives, however, can be challenging when there are so many worthy causes with so many unmet needs and ways to give.
    Icon Image
    Charitable Giving
    Donor Advised Funds help you maximize your charitable impact, with tax-efficient strategies that align your personal values with your financial goals.
    Icon Image
    Wealth Education
    Financial Literacy is a form of empowerment, equipping you with the knowledge to make smart financial decisions during every stage of life. Our Financially Fit program aims to help you do just that. We also know that discussing family finances is especially important with adult children, no matter their age. It's not always easy, but starting the conversation is a key step in long-term wealth planning.

    Family Business Succession

    We take pride in assisting clients through significant milestones. Some are personal, others professional, still others a mix of both. Our recent work with a business owner illustrates how strategic planning can help transform the sale of a business into enhanced financial security and a family legacy of excellence.

    Icon Image
    Asset Allocation

    Our client came to us with a unique vision for the future, and our strategic planning gave them a distinctive strategy to help realize that vision in a risk-adjusted, tax-efficient manner. We did not just revamp their asset allocation strategy for the sake of it, we executed a thoughtful, purposeful process that helped enhance their financial security in a constantly evolving financial landscape.

    Icon Image
    A Legacy Built. A Legacy Secured.

    Despite their wealth, our client shared the same concerns as any family: What would happen in the event of an unexpected event such as a health concern? When the time came, would their children be ready to manage their inheritance? What would the tax implications be? For the affluent, these questions are often highly complex. We worked with firm resources to help design a comprehensive estate strategy that seeks to help secure their family legacy.

    Icon Image
    Precision in Financial Planning

    Our financial planning process does more than just sort out retirement figures and balance portfolios. See how we helped one client achieve a host of goals — from supporting family members, funding their children's education and home purchases, and fulfilling their own dream of owning a particular vacation property — plus one goal money can't buy: clarity.

    An Executive Navigates Equity Compensation

    Executives are confident decision-makers. For their companies, they provide clarity, solve problems, and shape the future. But when it comes to their personal finances, they face many unique challenges. We recently worked with one client to help them navigate the maze of their compensation package.

"The greatest use of life is to spend it on something that will outlast it." – William James

At its core, wealth management isn't about today — it's about creating a lasting legacy that spans generations. Our multigenerational planning approach is designed to help you build, preserve, and pass on your wealth to your loved ones seamlessly and strategically.

    Founded on Leading Designations

    At The Skyline Wealth Management Group, we are proud to hold rigorous designations that help us provide you with unparalleled insights and strategies to secure your family's legacy. Our designations include: Certified Financial Planner®, Chartered Financial Analyst, Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst, and a Family Wealth Director – a prestigious designation held by less than 2% of Morgan Stanley advisors*.

    *As of December, 2023

    An Integrated, Comprehensive Approach

    We provide high level financial planning integrating advanced strategies around asset management, cash management, asset transfer, tax-efficiency, insurance planning, charitable giving, and cash management

    Navigating Complex Financial Dynamics

    With care and precision, our multigenerational team guides you and your loved ones through sensitive topics such as estate planning, intergenerational wealth transfer, and philanthropic endeavors.

    Maximizing Tax Efficiency for Future Generations

    We work closely with your tax specialists to develop strategies that help minimize tax burdens and maximize the growth potential of your family's assets.

    Empowering the Next Generation

    We offer financial education and mentorship for young family members to help them make informed financial decisions with their inheritance.

    Continuity of Care

    As a multigenerational team, we have the experience and longevity not only to help you plan for the next generation, but to guide that generation too. This helps facilitate a seamless legacy that adheres to your founding vision.

While portfolio returns are essential, they represent only a fraction of a client's overall financial picture. What truly matters is the after-tax return — the amount of money that remains in your pocket after taxes have been accounted for. Our approach focuses on delivering "Tax Alpha:" Put simply, we work closely with your professional network to help you optimize your tax benefits, minimize your tax liabilities, and ultimately help you realize substantial after-tax returns.

    Maximizing Equity Compensation

    We work closely with you to develop a plan that takes advantage of tax-deferral opportunities and sell-to-cover strategies to help mitigate tax liabilities when exercising stock options or vesting RSUs.

    Leveraging Tax-Advantaged Retirement Accounts

    We help you make the most of tax-advantaged retirement accounts, such as 401(k)s, IRAs, and Roth IRAs, to reduce your current tax burden while building a secure financial future.

    Coordinating Investment Strategies with Tax Goals

    By employing tactics like tax-loss harvesting and asset location strategies, we aim to minimize capital gains taxes and boost your after-tax returns.

    Planning for Wealth Transfer and Estate Taxes

    Our estate plans aim to help maximize tax efficiency, minimize estate taxes, and ensure a smooth transfer of wealth to your loved ones and future generations.

3The returns on a portfolio consisting primarily of Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) aware investments may be lower or higher than a portfolio that is more diversified or where decisions are based solely on investment considerations. Because ESG criteria exclude some investments, investors may not be able to take advantage of the same opportunities or market trends as investors that do not use such criteria. Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss in a declining financial market.
