Fiduciary investment advisory services in Raleigh, Cary, Apex, and Durham

We offer fiduciary wealth management for individuals and families in Raleigh, Cary, Apex, Durham and surrounding Research Triangle communities.  Our investment advisory services are designed to pursue long-term growth while managing risk in accordance with each client's objectives, circumstances, and risk tolerance.
 

Not all financial advisors assume fiduciary duties or the standards of care and loyalty associated with acting as a fiduciary. In the field of wealth management, a person or business that assumes a fiduciary duty is obligated to put their clients' interests first at all times. 

As an independent, boutique wealth management firm, we feel we can serve you best by placing your best interests above our own. 


Tax-Conscious planning

We help clients identify opportunities to manage their tax liability and prepare for significant future tax events. For real estate owners, this may include planning for property sales, rental income, and potential 1031 exchanges. For executives and technology professionals, it may include coordinating RSU vesting, stock option exercises, concentrated employer stock, and liquidity events with their broader investment and tax strategy.

Our approach considers investment and real estate decisions through a tax-conscious lens, including the timing of income, capital gains, portfolio changes, and other significant financial events.

Retirement planning

Our retirement planning services focus on creating a strategy to ensure a financially secure retirement by setting goals, estimating future expenses, and implementing strategies to accumulate and manage the necessary funds.

The Accredited Investment Fiduciary® (AIF®) designation reflects specialized knowledge and competency in the area of fiduciary responsibility. AIF® designees follow prudent investment and governance practices grounded in a Global Fiduciary Standard of Excellence.

At Inspire, these principles guide every facet of our work. From building custom portfolios and coordinating sophisticated tax planning to understanding the people and priorities behind the numbers, we put your interests first in every decision we make.


Business succession

There are over 30 million business owners in the U.S., and 75% of them do not have an exit strategy. We can help you build an exit strategy so that you can segue into a peaceful retirement. If you'd like to speak with an advisor about your business succession, click here.

  • Design a transition horizon (typically 3-5 years) and coordinate with your CPA, succession attorney, and business valuation professional so the structure is in place well before you need it
  • Determine what your business needs to provide for you to be financially independent — whether you sell, transfer, or remain involved
  • Plan for the proceeds, structuring an investment and income strategy for life after the business
  • Stay by your side after the transition closes — because that's not the end of the plan, it's the beginning of your retirement

Real estate planning

We can help our clients navigate the complexities of DST investments and incorporate them into their overall financial and estate planning strategies. Our role is to assist clients in understanding the benefits, risks, and potential tax implications of DSTs, and to develop a personalized plan that aligns with their investment objectives and financial goals.
