Succession Planning
Helping you protect your legacy during leadership succession demands a proven process, nuanced execution, and artful mediation.
We begin with a comprehensive online business assessment to provide insight into the valuation of your business and strategies for preparing for succession. With this insight, we will prepare a detailed succession plan. Next, we implement the plan, either directly or in conjunction with your other professional advisors, depending on how the plan is constructed. Our role is to lead the team to ensure that the plan is properly implemented and executed. Finally, we will offer to help your successors with a proven set of tools and coaching programs.
Business Valuation
We begin by understanding your unique situation and gathering essential information. We then prepare a financial valuation of your company, along with a customized report outlining the most significant factors affecting valuation.
In addition, we compare your company’s performance relative to your industry peers. We also identify financial opportunities and strengths.
Finally, we help you understand the implications of your valuation, whether it is needed for personal financial planning, strategic planning, succession planning, buy-sell agreement, or in preparation to sell your business.

Value Acceleration
Value Acceleration Methodology is a proven process that focuses on growing the value of your business and aligning business, personal, and financial goals. We will guide you through the process of developing a Master Plan that is grounded in action and provides key deliverables & metrics.
The methodology provides very predictable results. We will focus on breaking down strategic issues into 90-day sprints, connecting daily activities to value, and mitigating risk. This acts as a driver of organizational behavior and gets employees to think like owners.
We ensure owner and family wealth are at the center of the plan. Value Acceleration is used as an inter-generational & employee development, transition, and measurement tool and creates a roadmap to success.
Estate Planning
We will review all aspects of your current situation, including all existing trusts, wills, codicils, insurance policies, retirement plans, health care proxies, etc. After our review, we will craft a comprehensive estate plan that will provide you peace of mind and protect your legacy. Next, we will work with your professional advisors to execute the estate plan and to ensure that all documents are securely recorded, filed, and protected. If needed, we will retain and oversee professional advisors on your behalf. Finally, we will perform an annual checkup to ensure that your plan adequately reflects any changes that have occurred since our last annual checkup.
Strategic Planning
We will begin with a comprehensive assessment of your business using a set of business assessment tools. After our assessment, we will clarify your long-term and short-term strategic business goals, in conjunction with your leadership team. If no leadership team exists, we will lead the process of developing it. Next, we will work with your leadership team to execute the strategic plan to ensure that forward progress is made. Finally, we will facilitate an annual strategic planning retreat to ensure that your strategic plan remains current.
In addition, we will help guide you and other leaders on your team to clarify their personal goals. We take into account one’s family, significant relationships, career, health and finances.
