You know you can trust Sterling with your clients.
When clients ask questions about financial topics outside your scope of work, who can you turn to? As a trusted financial advisor with advanced designations in a number of wealth management disciplines, Sterling has answers.
Why you should refer clients to Sterling:
Clients are not sure if they are managing their money optimally.
They don’t know if they can retire and meet their continued cash flow needs. They are not taking full advantage of tax-preferred investments. And even if they had all the money to support their retirement needs, they do not know how to access it efficiently. They may have various financial products, but don’t know if they need them or not, or if they face unknown unknowns.
A qualified financial advisor can help your client move from where they are now to where they want to go.
Clients are facing an unexpectedly large tax bill as a result of their success.
They’ve been successful, and that success comes with a price: an increasing tax bill on the growing value of their company, real estate, and investment accounts. They are unaware of how to preserve more of the proceeds from liquidity events for themselves and their family. As a result, they miss opportunities and pay more tax than necessary.
A qualified financial advisor can mitigate or eliminate taxes.
Clients suffer a reduction in the value of their life’s work when failing to plan.
Everyone wants to maximize the value of their business for their own benefit, for their family legacy, and inter-generationally. In the end, they want to minimize what goes to the government. By failing to plan, more taxes are paid than necessary.
A qualified financial advisor empowers your client to give to family and charitable organizations that are aligned with their values.
What can happen if you don’t introduce your clients to Sterling?
Your clients won’t be sure that they are going to be okay – no matter what – if they don’t engage a qualified financial advisor.
Get to know Sterling. He’s a highly qualified, award-winning financial advisor.
