Aligning your business structure with your personal wealth goals.
Business Owner & Executive Strategy
Running a business means carrying two financial lives at once — your company’s and your own. Most business owners are so focused on keeping the business moving that their personal finances end up neglected, unprotected, or completely tangled up with their business finances.
That’s where things get expensive.
We help business owners and executives build strategies that work on both sides — protecting the company, reducing tax exposure, rewarding key people, and making sure your personal wealth isn’t dependent on whether your business has a good year.
You built something. Let’s make sure it’s actually working for you.
-
Solo 401(k): Maximize personal contributions if you are a sole proprietor or single-employee business.
Profit Sharing: Reward employees while building your own retirement fund with flexible contributions.
Cash Balance Plans: Accelerate tax-deferred savings with high contribution limits.
412(e)(3) Plans: Guaranteed retirement income for mature, stable businesses seeking predictable funding.
-
Buy-Sell Funding: Ensure a smooth transition and business continuity when an owner departs or passes away.
Executive Bonus Plans: Attract and retain top talent with tax-advantaged supplemental compensation.
Key Person Protection: Safeguard your revenue and operations against the loss of a critical individual.
Workers’ Comp Strategy: Manage risk and potentially reduce costs by classifying coverage effectively.

Yes. We work with business owners on key person protection, buy-sell funding, and executive strategies designed to protect what you’ve built — and ensure your business can survive and transition if something unexpected happens.

It depends on your revenue, compensation structure, long-term goals, and tax exposure. A sole proprietor has different options than an S-Corp owner with employees. We evaluate all of that before recommending any specific plan — whether that’s a Solo 401(k), Cash Balance Plan, or something else entirely.
-
When structured properly, many executive and retirement plans are designed to improve tax efficiency while building long-term stability. This is one of the most significant financial advantages available to business owners that most never take advantage of.
