Our wealth advisors provide a number of services including:
Cash Flow Management seeks to manage your personal liquid assets as they would be in a business setting. Rather than seeing cash as simply a way to pay for things, Cash Flow Management looks at money management strategically in order to meet both short term and long term financial goals. This management view allows you to see how payments now can affect your liquid assets in the future. This management style is more than just a budget, which typically outlines income and expenses without creation of a system to facilitate savings and growth.
Many people forgo this step, believing that a simple budget is sufficient to meet their cash flow needs. However, a managed cash flow system, when used correctly and on a consistent basis, can strengthen your financial position. Cash management can put you in a position where large bills and savings goals, both short term and long term, are addressed in an effective way.
Household employee include housekeepers, cooks, nannies, valets and others who do work in and around your home. Individuals who are contractors and provide services to more than one individual under their own business license are typically viewed as independent contractors and household employees.
In order to meet federal, state and local requirements, individuals are required to withhold and pay taxes, including social security, Medicare and unemployment taxes. Ever changing tax laws can dramatically affect the amount of withhold that is required and what payments you are required to make as an employer.
Our concierge team can manage payroll for your household employees including tracking, reporting and payment of all required taxes. Professional management of household payroll ensures that you are meeting all federal and local requirements and avoid costly penalties and fees.
Additionally, payroll management allows you to focus on other, more important issues with the comfort in knowing that your home’s obligations are being taken care of.
Giving back to causes that are important to you and your family is personally rewarding. In order to maximize tax savings and adhere to government regulations, the Smolin team of wealth advisors can help establish an individualized solution for charitable efforts that suit your unique needs.
Depending on the needs of your family and your charitable goals, a private foundation, charitable trust or charitable endowment may work best for your needs. The Smolin team can be instrumental in establishing your charitable donation and ensuring that it is kept in compliance with local laws, state laws and IRS regulations. Our team handles all details so that you may focus on the charitable work that is important to you.
Open communication is at the crux of wealth management. To that end, reporting on your portfolio and discussion about your financial position is available on demand at any time. Regular monthly reporting allows you to see all activity, transactions and performance over that time period. Account summaries include:
Monthly reporting is automatic and can be assessed in a manner that is most convenient for you, be it by the internet, email, post or fax. Further reporting is provided quarterly and annually to provide an accurate overview of your entire portfolio.
Asset protection is a strategic way of evaluating and protecting your assets. Individuals with wealth, particularly business owners, are at constant risk financially. Lawsuits, claims, taxes and accidents can jeopardize your assets and overall well-being. A qualified wealth advisor can develop a plan based on the particulars of your situation that protect your assets. This is done in a way that makes assets difficult to reach in the event of a claim, but does not attempt to hide assets.
Attempting to self-manage asset protection could result in violating fraudulent transfer laws. Transferring assets in a manner that is not legally accepted can be viewed as fraud and may have considerable legal and financial repercussions. Therefore, asset protection is best left to professionals.
Unexpected liability can come from a number of sources including:
