Estate (Trust) Planning
Estate (Trust) Planning
We spend a lifetime creating and managing our financial affairs and yet too few spend the necessary time to make sure our desires are carried out in the event of incapacity or death.
Whether your estate is simple or complex, our team at SBC is here to assure your desires are accomplished in the most efficient manner possible with ease of distribution and minimizing estate expenses in mind.
Business Exit Strategies
Business Exit Strategies
For most business owners, their company is a complex and illiquid investment that represents the lion’s share of their net worth. It also represents their life’s work, a legacy worth protecting. Getting an exit right takes planning. Whether you intend to transfer your company to family, partners, managers, a third party, private equity or a strategic buyer, exit planning is well worth it.
Even something as simple as developing an income strategy and tax management strategy from the actual liquidity event becomes crucial to the success of the exit.
On a personal level, exit planning settles your mind, re-energizes you and gives your work greater purpose.

Tax Planning
Tax Planning
We all need proactive planning advice, plain and simple. Tax planning goes well beyond what account to pull money from and when. It involves business planning, corporate executive benefits, income planning, charitable planning, and much more. Tax planning is an essential part of our financial and estate planning. All to ensure that all elements work together to allow you to pay the lowest taxes possible.
Family Meetings
Family Meetings
Leaving wealth for the next generation should be a family conversation. These family discussions are a critical piece in our estate planning to ensure our desires are understood by those most important to us. Often these discussions help us immensely with our planning and are a valuable tool to make sure we aren’t the ones responsible for family disagreements when we are not around to clarify our desires. Yet these discussions are often difficult for us to have on our own.
Let the experienced team at SBC help facilitate these conversations with your loved ones.

Our Process
Here is how we work together with you to create your personalized financial strategy.
Start with a Conversation
We start with an informal meeting to get to know you. We take the time to listen to your lifestyle goals, financial concerns, and address any questions you may have about our firm, our processes, or our services. Leaving the meeting, you can feel confident knowing that you have a team of trusted professionals just as invested in your success as you are.
Assess Your Current Financial Situation
After our initial conversation, you will receive a no-commitment analysis of your current financial situation so you understand where you are and what it will take to get where you want to go.
Work Together to Develop a Plan
As a client, we work with you to customize your financial plan for your specific needs. While the initial assessment provides a good starting point, your financial plan is as unique as you are. In this phase, we balance objectives, expectations, and priorities with your stage of life, risk tolerance, tax implications, and more.
Make the Plan Actionable
A plan is only as good as the action that comes from it. We work together to break down the small steps you can take today to achieve success tomorrow. But because there isn’t just one path to success and because life happens, we have built-in contingency plans to help you stay on track to achieve your lifestyle goals.
Review the Plan Regularly
Periodic reviews of your plan keep you on track to achieve your goals. The economy, markets, and legal environments are always changing, so staying connected through regular reviews ensures you stay on the path to achieving your financial dreams.
