Every strategy we implement, and the honest case for each.

Each overview covers the mechanics, the numbers, the risks the marketing skips, and where the strategy fits. If a structure is not on this page, we probably reviewed it and passed.

Capital Gains Planning

You built the position. The question is how much of it survives the sale. We plan exits so that tax is deferred, reduced, or eliminated where the Internal Revenue Code allows it, and we quantify the trade-offs of each route before you commit.

Ordinary Income Planning

Ordinary income is the hardest tax to plan around: a 37% top federal rate, limited deferral options, and few exclusions. The strategies that work are investment-driven, and they carry real economic risk that has to be evaluated honestly, not waved away.

Qualified Small Business Stock

Section 1202 is the largest single exclusion in the Code for founders, early employees, and early investors. Planned early, it can eliminate federal tax on tens of millions of dollars of gain. Planned late, most of it is left on the table.

Estate & Gift Planning

The 2026 federal exemption is $15M per person, $30M per married couple. Above that, the transfer tax is 40%. The planning question is not whether to use the exemption but which assets to move, when, and through which structure.

A conversation costs nothing. Waiting usually does.

A first meeting covers your situation, the strategies that plausibly apply, and what we would need to review before recommending anything.
