Wealth Management Services in Washington, DC

Serving Washington’s professionals and entrepreneurs with clarity and confidence

As your income grows, so does financial complexity. Equity compensation, real estate investments, multi-entity businesses, and family trusts—each decision impacts your long-term wealth.


At Straight Talk CPAs, our wealth management services in Washington, DC help high-income individuals, business owners, and multi-generational families manage, grow, and protect what they’ve built.


We coordinate every moving part—taxes, investments, estate planning, and legacy design—so your wealth isn’t just growing on paper, it’s working with purpose. Because real wealth management isn’t about accumulation—it’s about clarity, coordination, and control.

Most financial firms focus on returns. We focus on results that stay with you.

Each plan is designed to help you make smarter financial decisions—today, next year, and for decades to come.

Tax-Smart Wealth Management That Aligns With Your Goals

Our Wealth Operating System (WOS): How We Bring Order to Complexity

We don’t manage wealth reactively. We build a system that keeps you proactive.

Our proprietary Wealth Operating System (WOS) gives you a structured, tax-informed roadmap to manage every part of your financial life with precision.


Here’s how we do it:

  1. Define your vision – lifestyle goals, liquidity needs, and long-term priorities.
  2. Map your cash flow – identify gaps, opportunities, and reserves.
  3. Plan your taxes – optimize bracket usage and deferral timing.
  4. Structure your assets – determine ideal placement across taxable, deferred, and Roth accounts.
  5. Manage risk and rebalancing – set limits, triggers, and policies to stay disciplined.
  6. Design your legacy – align giving, trusts, and estate protections with family goals.


This documented system ensures nothing is left to guesswork—and every financial move fits into a coordinated master plan.

Wealth management isn’t just about having more—it’s about keeping more, safely and strategically.


We specialize in helping Washington, DC, professionals and families:

  • Structure pass-through and multi-entity income for lower tax exposure
  • Integrate investment, tax, and estate strategies into one plan
  • Plan liquidity events and business exits with tax-smart sequencing
  • Maximize equity compensation and deferred income opportunities
  • Build legacy, trust, and charitable giving frameworks



Our clients aren’t looking for generic advice—they’re looking for strategic coordination that makes every dollar accountable.

FAQs

  • What makes your wealth management approach different?

    We start with taxes, then build everything else around that. Your investments, income planning, and estate strategy aren’t treated as separate pieces—we tie them together so they actually support one another.

  • Can you work with my current investment advisor or attorney?

    Yes. We stay connected with the people already advising you, making sure your tax strategy lines up with your investment and legal decisions instead of competing with them.


  • How often do you review client plans?

    We hold quarterly tax and portfolio reviews, plus an annual strategy meeting—or more frequently if major financial events occur.

  • Do you manage investments directly?

    We don’t sell products or manage funds. Instead, we coordinate strategy and structure for maximum after-tax performance alongside your investment advisors.

  • Who is the ideal client for your DC wealth management services?

     Executives, professionals, and business owners earning $350,000+ annually or managing $1M+ in assets who want a comprehensive, tax-efficient wealth strategy.
