Jane, a 35-year-old highly successful graphic designer in the advertising industry, had long felt she was missing out on opportunities to grow her wealth due to her busy schedule. She sought the assistance of a financial planner to help her plan and prioritize her financial goals.

Challenges

Jane’s primary challenge was the difficulty in planning her finances while juggling her frequent projects and deadlines. Due to the inconsistencies in her income, she struggled to keep tabs on her finances effectively. She also needed someone to help guide her on investments and financial planning and provide her with the keen insights she wasn’t accustomed to receiving.

Strategy

We took a customized approach to Jane’s financial profile by having extensive meetings to understand her financial goals, objectives, and challenges. Together, we evaluated these factors with a holistic financial plan and determined the best ways to support her. We began by working out a budget that allowed her enough room to cover her essential expenses while still funding her savings goals. To help Jane overcome her financial challenges, we established a budget to track her income and expenses, set up automatic payments to her savings account once a month, and provided her with tailored investment advice that best fits her financial objectives. This put her investments on autopilot and enabled her to focus more on her work.

Results

With our financial planning guidance, Jane now has a clear understanding of her financial health, allowing her to make more informed decisions, including investments. She has met her savings target, and her investment portfolio is performing exceptionally well, more than she had hoped for.

Our approach helped Jane save more money and provided a step-by-step guide on how Jane should invest her funds. With this guidance, Jane can rest assured that she is gradually growing her wealth, all while staying focused on her work.

John, a 41-year-old professional residing in Los Angeles, approached our financial planning firm seeking expert advice on managing his finances, including his salary of $450,000, Non-Qualified Stock Option (NQSO) grants, and Incentive Stock Option (ISO) grants. With a net worth of $1,000,000 and maximum contributions to his Roth 401k, John sought guidance on integrating an anticipated inheritance, estate planning, aggressive savings for future goals, and optimizing his stock options in light of an upcoming IPO.

Challenges

John’s financial situation presented several challenges, including optimizing his stock options, maximizing savings to achieve his financial goals, and planning for an anticipated inheritance. Furthermore, he needed to minimize estate taxes by strategically using GRATs and CRUTs while ensuring adequate funding for his wedding and future travel plans.

Strategy

We conducted a comprehensive financial analysis for John to develop a customized plan that addresses multiple aspects of his financial life. This included investment strategy, tax and estate planning, as well as philanthropic objectives. A stock option selling strategy was tailored in partnership with a tax expert to align with John’s specific financial goals, such as his anticipated inheritance and upcoming wedding expenses. We aimed to optimize gains while reducing tax impact. Retirement planning involved advice on Roth 401k contributions, backdoor Roth options, and HSAs for tax-efficient growth. We suggested a six-month emergency fund to secure his financial standing during unexpected situations. Strategies were also devised to incorporate John’s future inheritance in the most tax-efficient manner across his portfolio. Lastly, a thorough estate plan, featuring GRATs and CRUTs, was implemented to minimize estate taxes and facilitate a smooth transfer of wealth to his heirs.

Results

Leveraging our expertise, John successfully met his financial objectives via a long-term strategy that combined tax-efficient stock option plans and retirement savings. This was tailored to align with his future financial needs, including an anticipated inheritance, early retirement, and extensive travel plans.

Profile

Benjamin (48) and Miriam(44) are a married couple investing in real estate for the past 10 years. They own several short-term rental properties in Miami and have successfully generated passive income from their investments. However, they are now looking to expand their portfolio and are seeking professional financial advice to help them achieve their goals.

Challenges

Benjamin and Miriam are facing several challenges in their real estate investment journey. They are looking to sell one of their properties to fund the purchase of a larger property, but they are concerned about the tax implications of the sale. They are also interested in exploring 1031 exchange opportunities to defer taxes on the sale of their property.

Strategy

We identified a 1031 exchange opportunity for John and Jane. They helped them identify a like-kind property to exchange for the property they were selling, which allowed them to defer taxes on the sale. Additionally, we also recommended an Opportunity Zone Fund to defer long-term capital gains from the sale of another property. This allowed John and Jane to invest in a designated Opportunity Zone, which provided them with tax benefits and helped them achieve their investment goals.

Results

We were able to work with Benjamin and Miriam’s CPA to successfully navigate the complex tax laws surrounding real estate investments. They were able to sell their property and invest in a larger property without incurring significant tax liabilities. The 1031 Exchange and Opportunity Zone Fund helped them achieve their investment goals and expand their real estate portfolio.
