Accelerating the Evolution of Financial Advisors to Family Office Directors

America’s billionaires can have anything they want, and their overwhelming choice for wealth management services is the family office. It’s a rational choice since it provides bespoke, holistic, and integrated advice across the spectrum of financial solutions, and it does so without conflict, economically, sustainably, transparently, and with a taxes-first decision paradigm. 

Every successful family and business owner would benefit from these same benefits. Imagine working in harmony with diverse subject matter experts to solve your clients’ problems thoughtfully and creatively. Now, imagine a division of labor that will take your productivity to the next level. Our Family Office Advantage™ is great for you because it’s great for your clients. 

Live at the center of your clients’ lives. Control nearly 100% of their wallet for financial services. Enjoy a level of client satisfaction you’ve never experienced before. Live a work/life balance that appreciates your whole life. Earn an elite level of compensation, and retain and eventually monetize the value of your practice.

Family Office Advantage™

Financial Gravity’s Turnkey Multi-Family Office Charter puts you at the center of your client’s financial life, at the table for all solutions development decisions. While this is a great advantage for you, it’s the best model for the client’s welfare as well.

Consumer friendliness is the single best advantage of our business model. To our knowledge, all family offices feature tax, risk, and wealth management professionals working in harmony for the best interests of the client family. 

As a practical matter, this means a fundamental shift in the relationship between you and your client. You move from salesperson to counselor and advocate. Instead of competing with other professionals, you work as a team. Imagine how much more your clients will appreciate and value this approach. 

Putting tax strategies together with asset protection and wealth management yields the most successful and sustainable model of client experience and explains the unparalleled success of the family office. 

Financial Gravity has taken the lead in democratizing the benefits of the family office for the American family. These benefits include:

True Fiduciary

Too often, financial advisors have to manipulate the definition of fiduciary. With our Taxes First, Then Math™ investment philosophy and decision-making framework, the client’s best interests are put in first position, where they belong.

Holistic Solution Design

Clients benefit when their tax, insurance, planning, and asset management professionals work together as a team. And you can stop worrying about hidden agendas and power plays, secure in the knowledge that a team is working to give your client an unmatched experience.

Taxes First Investment Philosophy

Taxes first means more than intelligent allocation design; it means deposit and withdrawal practices designed to keep the client’s compounding as efficient as possible. As asset management has become increasingly commodified, tax alpha has taken on new significance, and you can be part of that client-friendly trend.

Meritocratic Product Selection

Working with subject matter experts empowered with modern product selection tools and motivated by client success makes for a more satisfying career. You can rest easy knowing that best efforts were employed to achieve best interests of the client.

Control the Controllables™

Many advisors have suffered from hot new algorithms and smart-sounding trading techniques that all eventually prove the truism that there is no arbitrage available in portfolio management. With our mature philosophy, you can focus on the real value add that a fiduciary advisor can provide: cost control, tax efficiency, intelligent diversification, and empathetic risk tolerance management.

Transparency

Transparency is simply missing at many rival firms, including some of the largest ones. Yet transparency is the cornerstone of trust, the essential ingredient in long-term relationships. At Financial Gravity, we understand that trust is downstream from transparency.

"Selecting my succession partner was a daunting task. I considered many individuals and many firms. Either the advisor was primarily investment focused with only lip service to financial planning and tax planning, or the firm had not built out their operations to really serve my clients they way I had. I selected Financial Gravity because they checked all the boxes. Now my former clients get financial plans updated annually, they get tax projections and tax preparation, great portfolio construction using Time Optimized Planning and a tech stack to rival any firm I have seen. Scott Winters has fulfilled every promise he made to me. Approaching 18 months with the firm, I have the flexibility to take long vacations and delegate everything I want to, to a professional team. I am very happy and can slow down and retire on my terms."

Contemplating Sale

Comprehensive, Content-rich Communications Support

Most advisors quickly learn the difference between marketing and sales. They come to understand how resource and time-constraining marketing can be, and how, ironically, it can make a huge dent in their available business development calendar. 

You can be gifted at content creation and marketing, but you cannot also be the best at business growth and development. By partnering with us, you can have both. Our Done With You model includes agency-level marketing services. 

We will produce and deliver a permanent monthly campaign of email, newsletter, video, and webinar-based educational materials that add real value to your client relationships and can open a world of new revenue opportunities for you.

Family offices do not sell; they are fiduciaries who act solely in the best interests of their clients. Our educational client campaigns are designed to educate and keep you top-of-mind, maximizing the value of the trust you’ve earned.

Family offices are built on a problem-solving, fiduciary approach. Family Office Directors are not salespeople—and they shouldn’t be. But that is the choice offered by our competitors: learn to become a salesperson or sign over your book of business to sharks with the single goal of transferring your clients’ wealth to themselves.

You manage the relationship; we will handle virtually everything else. In this radical new division of labor, all parties do only those jobs that they are best at. As a Family Office Director, you maintain complete control of the relationship.

Taxes First, Then Math™

We can’t imagine a single or multi-family office that doesn’t have tax professionals working side-by-side with risk and investment professionals. This holistic approach explains the remarkable success and durability of family office relationships.

At Financial Gravity, we understand the importance of integrating tax services with planning and wealth management. Here’s how we support your client’s wealth journey:

HALO™ Holistic Asset Location Optimization

Our portfolio analysis and design tools strategically allocate investments across taxable, tax-deferred, and tax-exempt accounts. By placing income-generating assets in tax-advantaged accounts and growth-oriented assets in taxable accounts, we can help reduce the tax bite on investment returns.

Tax-Smart Distribution Strategies

We implement strategies that carefully manage when and how funds are withdrawn from various accounts. This approach can help minimize the tax impact of distributions, especially during retirement, and helps ensure that clients retain more of their hard-earned money.

Reduction of Taxes on Social Security and Medicare Costs

Our proactive planning includes strategies to help minimize the taxation of Social Security benefits and reduce Medicare premium surcharges. By carefully managing income thresholds and employing tax-efficient withdrawal strategies, we can help clients avoid unnecessary taxes and higher healthcare costs.

Proactive Tax Planning

Utilizing legal and ethical strategies, our Family Office Directors engage in proactive tax planning to identify opportunities for clients to help reduce their tax liabilities. This includes leveraging deductions, credits, and other tax-advantaged strategies to maximize tax savings.

Align Your Client’s Expectations With Their Lived Experience

America’s wealthiest families are also its most successful investors. The reason for this is simple: their multiple professionals in financial advisory, strategic tax planning, and risk management all work together as fiduciaries toward the common goal of their client’s best interests.

That dream-come-true value innovation is available now—through you, as a Financial Gravity Family Office Director. 

We believe that client loyalty is downstream from trust, and that trust is downstream from transparency. Our Turnkey Multi-family Office Charter is designed to retain and maximize the trust you’ve worked so long and hard to engender by being fully transparent and adhering to the tenets of the true fiduciary.

Low costs, a focus on after-tax compounding, creative diversification, and, crucially, an empathy-based approach to risk exposure can make all the difference for your clients. Let us show you how all of this can happen for your clients and you.
