Advanced Family Financial Planning & Sell-Side M&A Exit Planning for lower-middle market companies

Halcyon Wealth Strategies' affiliation with BNY Mellon Pershing, LLC Investments open architecture platform and Northwestern Mutual allows me and my team to deliver a boutique experience for our client families and owners. Backed with the expertise of CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® and CERTIFIED [BUSINESS] EXIT PLANNING ADVISOR® credentials.

1. Fiduciary, Fee-Based Planning: it is difficult to simply “arrive” at retirement or achieve shorter-term goals; the best way to achieve your goals is to have a system in place and quantify progress toward those targets—while maintaining financial flexibility as your life evolves. 
2. Coaching: we understand your long-term goals and we proactively help you achieve them in the most efficient ways
3. Accountability: we understand that your time is valuable; we focus on the most important items at the right times to help you achieve your goals
4. Investment performance: we work as a team to design plans aimed to provide a better level of performance than you can likely achieve on your own

• We accomplish this with a higher standard of care, from a fiduciary approach, with a broad scope of advice (versus simply managing investments)*.
• We understand that your time is valuable; we create financial clarity and confidence so that you redirect your time and energy toward your personal and professional growth.

As a Certified [Business] Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA^®), I guide our business owners toward optimal sales / exits with a focus on the sell-side for lower middle market companies.  We build financial plans to parlay those exits into retirement and generational wealth transitions.

We establish Buy-Sell entity and cross-purchase policies, key person, and Risk Options. We establish 401K’s, SEP IRAs, Profit-Sharing plans, and Cash Balance Pension Plans. 

* Fiduciary standard of care applies to advisory services and fee based plan.
