A Disciplined, Tax-Smart Approach to Building, Protecting & Growing Your Wealth

San Diego moves fast—from biotech breakthroughs in Torrey Pines and MedTech innovation in Sorrento Valley to the defense ecosystem around Point Loma and thriving professional firms throughout the county. The people leading these industries don’t build wealth by accident. They make it with structure, intention, and smart tax strategy.


Whether you’re navigating RSUs from a tech employer, balancing unpredictable bonus cycles, expanding a business, or preparing for a future liquidity event, your wealth plan needs more than generic portfolios or product sales. You need coordinated, CPA-led guidance that gives you control—not complexity.



Our wealth management approach integrates investment strategy, tax planning, retirement planning, and long-range financial structure into one cohesive plan. Everything works together—so your money compounds efficiently and your decisions move you toward goals with clarity, discipline, and confidence.

We don’t push products. We architect a financial system tailored to how you earn, what you value, and where you want to be.


Your plan includes:

  • A wealth plan that’s actually built around your milestones and long-term goals — not a generic template.
  • Portfolios that stay diversified and grounded in real risk management. No speculation. No guesswork. Just strategies built to hold up when markets move.
  • Tax planning led by CPAs, woven into every decision, so you keep more of what compounds.
  • Clear, real-time dashboards showing your net worth, allocation, performance, and overall progress — all in one place.
  • Quarterly strategy check-ins to adjust for market changes, new income, or shifting goals.



This isn’t a sales script or a “set it and forget it” portfolio. It’s structured financial leadership, tailored to you.

A Cohesive Wealth Blueprint Built Around Your Life and Goals

We Understand San Diego’s Wealth Challenges—and the Opportunities Behind Them

San Diego professionals face financial complexities that many wealth firms overlook:

  • RSU, ISO, and NSO taxation
  • Vesting cycles that disrupt cash flow
  • Multi-state income for remote or hybrid professionals
  • Contractor-heavy businesses with fluctuating earnings
  • R&D-driven tax implications for biotech and medtech teams
  • Real-estate-focused wealth building is common across Southern California
  • Military and defense leadership with specialized benefits and restrictions


We build strategies that reflect how San Diego professionals actually earn and accumulate wealth—while grounding every recommendation in tax efficiency and long-term preservation.


And because your goals extend beyond local markets, your plan incorporates national and global strategy positioning—so you’re protected, diversified, and ready for what’s next.

Case Study: From Scattered Assets to a Structured Wealth Engine

The San Diego biotech engineering lead came to us with RSUs vesting quarterly, multi-state income, and savings spread across uncoordinated accounts. No structure. No tax-forward planning. No long-term trajectory.


Here’s how we rebuilt his wealth strategy:

  • Established primary goals: semi-retirement at 55, two investment properties, and college funding for two children
  • Reorganized assets into a tax-efficient, diversified, risk-aligned portfolio
  • Built a contribution system tied to vesting cycles, quarterly bonuses, and long-term cash needs
  • Implemented a CPA-led tax reduction plan—including AMT mitigation strategies and R&D-related incentives
  • Created a real-time wealth dashboard tracking progress against each milestone


The results:

  • Portfolio performance improved 24% in year one
  • Reduced annual tax burden by $6,200
  • On pace for property acquisition target, 18 months ahead of schedule
