Business Owners
Business owners dedicate time and energy to their company’s success – and they deserve a partner who understands their journey. Our business-owner clients value the expertise we provide to help them manage their assets and plan for their company’s – and their family’s – future. Our clients benefit from our comprehensive approach that uncovers new planning opportunities and facilitates meaningful collaboration among their professional advisors. And when the conversation turns to more advanced concerns like business valuation and the prospect of going public, we can bring in Baird’s in-house team of Business-Owners Solutions specialists to provide informed, timely guidance.
We prioritize understanding our clients as individuals – listening to their aspirations, values and concerns before recommending any solutions. We sit down with them to develop plans for building, managing and ultimately transferring their business, so they feel prepared and confident about a future they worked so diligently to achieve.
Families

Smart financial planning is essential for caring for your loved ones’ futures. Our team works with you to create plans and strategies that help you and your family reach your important and uniquely personal priorities. Whether it’s helping you plan for a child’s education, map out a successful retirement, mitigate your tax burden or pass on a legacy, we make sure you feel confident – both financially and personally – about what comes next. We can also provide guidance on the human side of family wealth, facilitating entire-family discussions and meeting with adult children and grandchildren to ensure their voices and opinions are heard.
We also team up with your other advisors such as attorneys and CPAs to ensure all our plans are working in concert, identifying any strategic opportunities and eliminating any gaps or redundancies. Our well-rounded approach makes sure every part of your financial plan fits together with your dreams.
