At Sequent, we do not have blanket asset allocation strategies or boilerplate personal financial or trust/estate templates. For each client family, we review your goals and hopes, your specific concerns and risks along with your assets and earnings; and from this personal data, an allocation strategy and comprehensive personal financial plan is custom designed, recommended and implemented.
IS SEQUENT FOR YOUR FAMILY
A Personalized Orientation
Why Sequent?
Quite simply, our experience and commitment is to focus on serving families that have, had, or will have their own business. Forged through decades of working with closely held business owners, professionals and high ranking corporate executives, we have a valuable body of knowledge and deployable skill sets in the areas that most impact the accumulation and transfer of wealth for a family. We help families to focus on maximizing and balancing personal and corporate investments and developing replacement cash flow and liquidity. Additionally, we help coordinate business leadership transitions along with wealth transfers from one generation to the next, and optimize financial decisions to mitigate the impact of current and future taxation on a family’s wealth.
We seek to serve as a family’s personal chief financial officer to both recommend and coordinate matters important to them.
As a true fee-only family office firm, the only revenue earned by our firm is fees paid to us by our client families.
