Tax-Aware Insights & Strategies
Because what you keep matters more than what you earn
With federal deficits continuing to rise and the scheduled expiration of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act on the horizon, proactive tax planning is more important than ever. As holistic, fee-only fiduciary advisors, we focus heavily on after-tax outcomes—helping high-net-worth and high-income individuals reduce unnecessary tax drag through thoughtful planning and tax-aware investment strategies. Our resources explore ways to manage income and capital gains taxes, diversify retirement portfolios more efficiently, plan for the future sale of a business or concentrated low-basis equity position, and use tax-aware SMAs to enhance long-term returns through systematic tax-loss harvesting.
