Peter J. Russo, CEPA
Managing Director – Investments
MY STORYWouldn’t it make sense if your financial advisor, investment banker, CPA, tax attorney, and estate planning attorney all communicated with one another? I thought so, too. As your financial advisor and holder of the Certified Exit Planning Advisor® designation, I help coordinate services and communication between all your advisors and help educate you on the structures and disciplines necessary to implement a successful exit of your business. Whether you are selling to the next generation, employees, a financial or strategic buyer, or simply liquidating private or public stock, a coordinated approach is the key to transitioning your business in the most seamless and tax efficient manner. As a liaison between your financial and other trusted advisors, I bring cohesion to your financial world and help simplify your life.
I have spent over 30 years helping business owners and corporate executives navigate the complexities of wealth concentration. I have attained the experience and a level of education required to help clients implement their monetization strategies. During my meetings with you, I will take the time to help you determine a course of action based on your specific goals and objectives. I can coordinate this effort with the appropriate legal, tax and investment banking team to ensure that a comprehensive and coordinated approach is taken to help you achieve your stated goals. Without a coordinated approach, I have seen individuals who are going through transitions leave millions of dollars on the table.
I am a regular panelist at Merger & Acquisition events, speaking to the strategies employed by business owners and executives to create liquidity and preserve wealth for themselves, their family, and employees.
