Our mission is to be deeply relevant in the lives of the small number of successful professionals and their families who are nearing or in retirement and looking for guidance and advise from a trusted partner.
Profile

A thought leader with over 25 years of experience advising successful business owners and executives. Whether you’re selling a business or stepping away from a C-suite role, the transition requires more than just numbers. My team helps successful people turn years of work into financial independence and family legacy.

For business owners, we guide the exit planning process from start to finish—helping them maximize the value of their business through a customized plan that aligns business, personal and financial goals. As a CEPA® professional, Rob uses a framework which helps to ensure their transition is not just successful, but strategic—preserving wealth and legacy for generations to come.

For executives, Rob provides guidance on equity compensation, cash flow planning, risk management, and tax-efficient strategies to help them move smoothly from the boardroom into retirement or their next phase of life.
