Pro and College Athlete Planning
Professional and College athletes have very unique and complex financial and retirement planning needs. These needs will start as you enter college, especially with the recently enacted support for college athletes being able to profit from their name, image, and likeness ("NIL") through Draft Day and continuing on until retirement from the game and beyond. Finding a trusted partner to help you address these needs is very important.
We are dedicated to helping our clients build wealth and protect their hard-earned assets. We are completely independent, so our loyalty belongs exclusively to our clients - not to a parent company.
