How do I make a complex situation work smoothly?
Cheryl was a very successful HR professional and later a consultant. She amassed a significant amount of wealth, mostly in the stock of one company. Dealing with the early loss of her husband and then having to overcome cancer, she had been tested and had come out the other side. She created a life full of family and friends, along with enough money to do what she wants.
Thoughtful and caring, she is passionate about helping her family and her community. Giving back to organizations she cares deeply about was important in her financial planning. Cheryl has handled so much on her own. She recognizes the importance of having the right professionals on her team, who will objectively advise, guide and help her with the things she doesn’t want to do herself. We helped her understand all her different assets and how she can use them to create the lifestyle she wants. Then we consolidated and organized her finances, and built a plan to best position her financial assets for her desired retirement lifestyle. We created a retirement income distribution strategy as well as a strategy for her company stock and charitable goals.
As we go through the years together, we collaborate on how to optimize her taxes, gifting regularly to her family and charities and keep the cashflow going for her. With homes in two states, she is able to live in her paradise and visit her family when she wants. She’s living the life she creates and handling things very well. Having us on her team, gives her the information she needs to make smart decisions and reduces the stress of managing all these moving parts. It is a unique retirement plan, and it fits her very well.
