What we do

Two disciplines. One coordinated plan.

Financial planning defines where you are going. Tax planning helps you make each decision with a clearer view of what it may cost. At 3rd Level Wealth, the two are designed to work together.

Financial planning

Bring every part of your financial life into focus.

Your plan connects the decisions that shape your life, family, business, and legacy. It creates the framework for what to do next and stays current as your circumstances change.

Investment management

Portfolio construction and ongoing management aligned to your goals, time horizon, and risk tolerance, including rebalancing and tax-aware placement.

Retirement planning

A retirement strategy that connects income, investments, healthcare, Social Security, and the life you want your resources to support.

Cash flow and income planning

A clear picture of what is coming in and going out so saving, spending, investing, and giving all point in the same direction.

Risk management

A clear look at life, disability, and liability coverage so your protection matches your family’s actual needs.

Estate planning coordination

Beneficiaries, wills, trusts, and powers of attorney aligned with your wishes, in coordination with your estate attorney.

Charitable giving strategy

A thoughtful giving plan that supports the organizations you care about while fitting into your broader wealth and legacy goals.

Tax planning

Plan before the opportunity becomes a deadline.

Tax planning is proactive and year-round. We consider the tax consequences of financial decisions before they are made, then coordinate the strategy with the professionals involved.

Year-round tax strategy

Look ahead before deadlines pass, model the effect of major decisions, and coordinate recommendations with your tax professional.

Income and contribution planning

Manage tax brackets, retirement contributions, Roth conversions, distributions, and withholding with the full year in view.

Business and entity strategy

Evaluate entity structure, owner compensation, retirement plan design, and the tax consequences of growth or transition.

Giving and equity compensation

Coordinate charitable gifts, appreciated assets, stock options, RSUs, and sale timing with the rest of your financial plan.

Why they belong together

One decision often affects both sides of the plan.

Retirement income

Investment withdrawals affect cash flow, tax brackets, Medicare premiums, and the longevity of the portfolio.

Business decisions

Entity structure, owner compensation, benefits, and succession planning shape both business and personal outcomes.

Charitable giving

The right asset, timing, and giving structure can support your values while improving the efficiency of the broader plan.
