For professionals on the rise—clarity, trust, and strategies that simplify the complex and elevate your financial future.

Having been shaped by a culture where trust, attention to detail, and exceptional service defined success, Michael Pierson partners with high-performing professionals who are scaling fast but lack the financial clarity to match. Attorneys, entrepreneurs, consultants, and equity-compensated executives turn to Michael when their income, equity, or tax situation becomes too complex for standard solutions. His approach simplifies the complex resulting in a well-tailored financial plan—replacing uncertainty with clarity and building a durable strategy for every stage of their professional ascent.
