What Don't You Know That You Should Know?
Specialized wealth management for executives and professionals, business owners and entrepreneurs facing complex decisions about equity, liquidity and what comes next.
Building significant wealth can create opportunities you never expected — and questions you may not know to ask.
When much of your wealth has been created through stock options, RSUs, concentrated company stock or an approaching liquidity event, managing the investments are only part of the picture.
At Paffendorf Wealth Management Group, we help you understand how the pieces work together. We look beyond your investment portfolio to help you make informed decisions about equity compensation, concentrated stock, taxes, retirement, estate considerations, business interests, and long-term goals.
The objective is simple: understand what you have, know your choices, and build a plan for what comes next.

Planning Before the Decision Becomes Urgent
Some financial decisions can be made at any time. Others cannot.
Vesting schedules, exercise dates, trading windows, tax considerations, a company sale, retirement, or a change in employment can all affect the choices available to you.
Our approach begins by looking ahead — identifying decisions that may be coming, understanding the choices available, and coordinating those decisions with your larger financial life.

Sophisticated Planning. Straightforward Explanations.
Equity compensation and advanced wealth planning can become highly technical. We believe the explanation shouldn't be. We help you understand what you own, the choices available to you and the potential tradeoffs so you can make more informed decisions about your wealth.
