OWNER BASED PLANNING FOR COLLISION SHOP OWNERS
You Need Some Freedom in Your Future.
Owner-Based Planning™ goes beyond traditional financial planning by helping collision shop owners connect the decisions that affect their business, personal wealth, family, and future. Through an ongoing Personal CFO relationship, we help you see the whole picture, set priorities, and move important decisions forward with greater clarity and confidence.
Every Successful Business Has a CFO.
Who Plays That Role for Your Personal Financial Life?
As a successful business owner, you’ve likely built a team of trusted professionals. You may work with a CPA, an attorney, an insurance professional, an investment advisor, and a banker. Each provides valuable expertise.
The challenge isn’t finding good advisors. It’s making sure every financial decision works together and knowing what should happen next.
Owner-Based Planning™ is the process we use to connect the financial decisions that affect your business, your family, your personal wealth, and your future transition. The Personal CFO relationship is how we stay alongside you—helping you see the whole picture, establish priorities, evaluate tradeoffs, and keep your long-term goals at the center of every important decision.
Rather than replacing your existing advisors, we work alongside them to help ensure your retirement planning, tax strategies, estate planning, investments, business planning, risk management, and transition planning support a common vision. We also help coordinate next steps so good advice is more likely to become meaningful action.
Because better decisions happen when someone is helping you understand how all the pieces fit together—today, through periods of change, and as new opportunities and challenges arise.

Clear Answers to your Questions, Ensuring a Smooth Transition Journey
Transition plans encompass a comprehensive strategy for your business's future, whether you're considering selling, passing it on to family, or simply restructuring for long-term stability. We analyze your business's current value, identify potential growth areas, and develop a roadmap to maximize its worth. This includes optimizing financial performance, streamlining operations, and ensuring a smooth transition process, ultimately leading to greater financial freedom and multi-generational wealth.
Most business owners already have a team of trusted professionals, including a CPA, attorney, insurance specialist, investment professional, and often a banker. Each brings expertise in a specific area.
The Personal CFO relationship helps connect those pieces.
Through Owner-Based Planning™, we provide the ongoing perspective to help you see the bigger picture, determine what needs attention, and understand how one decision may affect another.
We work alongside your existing advisors to help coordinate financial decisions across your business and personal life. Like a CFO inside a business, our role is to help establish priorities, evaluate tradeoffs, coordinate the right professionals, and keep the overall strategy moving in the same direction.
It’s an ongoing relationship designed to help you make better-informed decisions, turn advice into action, and adjust your strategy as your goals, circumstances, and opportunities change.
We understand that family businesses come with unique dynamics. Our approach involves facilitating open and honest conversations to align family members' goals and expectations. We help establish clear communication channels, define roles and responsibilities, and create a shared vision for the business's future. By addressing potential conflicts proactively, we ensure a harmonious transition and preserve family relationships.
We work with you to identify and delegate key responsibilities, optimize workflows, and implement systems that streamline operations. This allows you to step back from day-to-day management and focus on strategic growth and personal well-being. We aim to create a business that runs efficiently, even when you're not directly involved, giving you more time for what matters most.
Multi-generational wealth goes beyond simply transferring assets. It involves building a sustainable legacy that provides financial security and opportunities for future generations. We develop strategies to minimize tax burdens, protect assets, and create a long-term plan for wealth distribution. This ensures your business's value endures and continues to benefit your family for years to come.
We specialize in serving collision repair business owners, understanding the unique challenges and opportunities within this industry. We combine financial expertise with a deep understanding of the collision repair market to provide tailored solutions. Our focus on transition strategies, family alignment, and long-term wealth creation sets us apart. We prioritize building lasting relationships with our clients and providing personalized guidance to help them achieve their vision for the future. In addition, we have a distinct network of professionals outside our area of expertise to help you achieve your desired outcome.
Our unique process begins on the front end to help you define what your new post-shop identity would be and help you determine if you are in the best position to sell to a third party. If so, we will connect you with one of our M&A partners, who will guide you through the sale process. Once you achieve your desired sale, we come in and help you to structure your assets and guide you in building your estate plan that will help you live the life you want and create the generational legacy you desire for your family.
