Top Financial Planning Firms
Financial planning builds a written plan for how money moves from today's income and assets to future goals. For business owners and executives, financial planners model cash flow, retirement savings, stock options and equity, insurance, tax efficiency, education funding and the proceeds of a future business sale, then revisit the plan as circumstances change. Employers also hire planners to run financial wellness sessions for staff. The usual triggers are a liquidity event, a new equity grant, an approaching retirement or a messy mix of accounts that nobody coordinates.
When comparing firms here, check whether the planner is a fiduciary, how they are paid, and their experience with clients whose wealth is tied up in a private company.
