Who we help
Your financial life doesn't need to fit into a category.
A career change, business decision or family responsibility can affect more than one part of your finances.
You spent years taking care of everyone else
A later start on saving, student loans, a demanding schedule and almost no time to think about any of it. Your career asks a lot. Your finances shouldn’t.
Financial situation
We help you see what to address first
A plan that accounts for a later start
Loans, income and savings in one clear picture
Tax-aware investing and retirement planning
Insurance and risk questions looked at together
Your company stock became your biggest bet
Options, RSUs, bonuses and a deferred compensation election you had a week to decide. It adds up to real wealth, and real risk, when nobody is watching all of it.
Financial situation
We help you weigh the choices around company stock
A clear view of your concentration and how to reduce it
Timing for vesting, exercises and sales
Tax planning around equity and bonuses
A plan for life after the next promotion or exit
Most of your wealth lives inside the business
You’ve poured everything into building it. The personal side, from retirement to what happens when you sell or step back, keeps getting pushed to next quarter.
Financial situation
We plan for you, not just the business
Separating personal wealth from business risk
Planning well ahead of a sale or succession
Retirement strategies that work for an owner
Working alongside your CPA and attorney
You’ve built real wealth. Now you want it to last.
Several accounts, a few advisors and a quiet sense that nobody sees the whole picture, or understands what you want it to mean for the people you love.
We work with individuals and families facing meaningful financial decisions, growing complexity and the responsibility that comes with wealth. Situations may include business ownership, equity compensation, inheritance, retirement or planning across generations.
002Is there a minimum?
We don’t publish one. What matters is your situation, how much is going on, and whether we can genuinely add value. If you’re not sure, just ask.
003How do you build portfolios?
Around you. Every portfolio is actively managed and built for your stage of life, your goals, your taxes and what you already own. We don’t drop new clients into the same model. And sometimes the best move is to do nothing.
004Will 3LM work with my children?
Yes. Family education can evolve as children grow, from early conversations through college, work and later decisions about wealth. The right topics, timing and format depend on each family and the agreed scope. Personalized family access is a future phase, not a service available today.
