How we work

Every part of your wealth, working as one.

Complex wealth calls for specialized expertise, strategies and resources. We look across your entire financial picture and work with the advisors who guide it — so every strategy fits the whole.

The problem

Complex wealth creates complex decisions. Fragmented advice makes them harder.

A tax strategy in one place, investments in another, insurance and estate documents that haven't spoken to each other in years, and a roster of advisors who’ve never been in the same room. Beneath that can be a harder problem: exposures that haven’t surfaced, opportunities that haven’t been explored, and decisions being considered without the benefit of the whole picture.

Our method

The CORE Process™

A disciplined four-step process — whether the question is one policy or agreement, a new strategy, or your whole financial picture.

C

Clarify

We gather the facts — your documents, goals, and concerns — and ask the right questions, for a clear picture of what’s beneath the surface.

O

Organize

Structure, economics, risks, assumptions and performance put under analysis — using analytical tools and benchmarks to uncover gaps and exposures.

R

Recommend

Clear findings and specialized strategies — with scenarios, so you see the impact of every choice.

E

Execute

We walk you through it, answer your questions, and coordinate with your other advisors — so every decision aligns.

Where it goes to work

The situations where several areas intersect at once — estate liquidity and wealth transfer, business succession and exit, buy-sell and key-person strategies, executive benefits, charitable planning, and complex insurance design — or your whole plan, examined as one.

Where we bring expertise

The whole picture, as one.

Tax strategy

Advanced, proactive tax strategy developed with your CPA — never in isolation from the rest of the plan.

Legacy & estate

Transfer and legacy strategy designed with your attorney — built to protect and pass on what you’ve created.

Insurance design

Life and long-term-care protection engineered to fit the plan — not sold off the shelf.

Business & exit

Valuation, buy-sell, and exit planning for owners with something worth protecting.

Charitable & philanthropic

Giving structured to do the most good — for your causes and your plan.

Investment alignment

How your investment strategy affects — and is affected by — the broader plan. Unified Advice does not make investment recommendations.

One team

Your advisors, working from the same plan.

We can lead the planning when that’s what a situation needs, or work alongside your CPA, attorney and investment advisor as a specialized member of the team. Either way, everyone builds from the same plan.
