FOUNDER · LIQUIDITY EVENT

Selling a company without an unplanned tax year

A Phoenix-based founder came to us fourteen months before an acquisition closed. We restructured equity timing, pre-funded a donor-advised fund, and modeled three deal-structure scenarios before the term sheet was signed.

DUAL-INCOME FAMILY · ARCADIA

Deciding whether one parent could step back for three years

We modeled the actual household impact of a temporary income pause — retirement contributions, health coverage, and re-entry timeline — instead of a rule-of-thumb guess.

RETIREE · PARADISE VALLEY

An estate plan that hadn't been touched in eleven years

A first review surfaced a trust that had never been funded, two outdated beneficiary forms, and a state residency change that shifted community-property exposure.
