San Francisco Wealth Management: A family office approach

If you live in San Francisco, let our family office approach cater to your wealth management concerns. We can help bring simplicity when it comes to dealing with multiple professionals and subsets of wealth management.

Employ tax-loss harvesting, tax-aware direct indexing tailored to your existing holdings and tax circumstances, separately managed accounts (SMAs), and thoughtful asset location to create a coordinated portfolio rather than a collection of isolated investments
Bring structure and discipline to your portfolio in a way that reflects your objectives and risk tolerance, including the management of concentrated employer stock positions
Coordinate RSUs, ISOs, NSOs, and ESPP shares—from vesting or exercise through diversification and eventual sale—with your broader investment and tax strategy
Collaborate with your CPA and estate planning attorney so your tax, investment, estate, and legacy strategies remain aligned
Design a retirement income strategy intended to support the lifestyle—and legacy—you envision
Structure philanthropic giving—including the thoughtful use of donor-advised funds—to reflect your values while considering tax efficiency
Navigate complex employee benefits, including deferred compensation, retirement plan elections, and other workplace benefits

Investment advisory services in San Francisco and Silicon Valley

We offer fiduciary wealth management for individuals and families in San Francisco, Santa Clara, Palo Alto, Mountain View, and surrounding Silicon Valley 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 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 executives and technology professionals, this 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 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.

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 transition into retirement with greater confidence. If you'd like to speak with an advisor about your business succession, click here.
