Financial Planning for Business Transitions
You have always controlled your destiny. You had a vision for a company, and your ambition and perseverance paved the way to success. Now that you are ready to transition out of that business, you want this next phase of your life to be just as fulfilling as the one that came before. The specifics of this change are eluding you, though, and the uncertainty has you feeling a bit out of your element.
Common Questions
- When and how should I transition the business?
- Will the proceeds from my company be enough?
- How do I ensure my company and family will be OK?
- What comes after I transition the company?
- How do I make my finances work for the lifestyle I want?
Our mission is to replace your uncertainty with clarity
so that you feel excited about this transition.
You will work one-on-one with founding partner Michael G. Skowfoe, who specializes in business transitions. Michael and the rest of our team will act to meet your most immediate needs and relieve the uncertainty you may be feeling.
Once we have helped secure your current position, we dive deep into discovery to learn your answer to the question “What does freedom in my next life stage look like to me?” We are here to alleviate anxiety, restore confidence, and create the map that realizes your vision of freedom.
We can help empower you to:

- Analyze your income and savings requirements in light of your desired lifestyle
- Convert proceeds from your business into income
- Implement strategies to reduce your lifetime tax burden
