FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Questions We Hear From Business Owners

When should I start planning for a business exit?

In a perfect world, three to five years before you plan to sell or transition. That gives you time to get the valuation where you want it, set up the deal in a tax-smart way, and make sure your personal finances are ready for whatever comes next. But if a deal is already in motion, there are still plenty of things we can do to protect your outcome.

How do you help with equity compensation planning?

We look at your stock options, RSUs, or carried interest in the context of your whole financial life -- tax brackets, AMT exposure, capital gains timing, and how concentrated you are in one position. Then we build an exercise and sale strategy that cuts the tax bill and lowers your risk while still meeting your liquidity goals.

What happens to my wealth after I sell my business?

Post-exit is honestly where a lot of business owners feel the most vulnerable. Suddenly you have a large lump of cash that needs to replace the income, the purpose, and the structure your business gave you. We build a complete post-exit plan covering investments, taxes, estate planning, and cash flow -- so the wealth you spent years building keeps working for you.

Do you coordinate with my CPA and attorney during a transaction?

Absolutely. A business exit involves legal, tax, and financial decisions that all need to happen in sync. We work directly with your CPA, your M&A attorney, and any other advisors to make sure every piece -- from the deal structure to how wealth gets transferred after closing -- is aligned and optimized. No one should be operating in a vacuum.
