Wealth doesn’t just require money — it requires discipline. If there is one thing you have mastered as a physician, it’s a healthy respect for the rules.

Who We Serve

Physicians face financial worries that differ from other professionals. You’ve made substantial investments in your training and in building your practice, and you shoulder considerable financial risk throughout your career. But with the right guidance, you also have tremendous opportunities to grow and preserve your wealth.

You shouldn’t have to educate your financial advisor about the challenges and possibilities on the horizon for you.

The Rx Wealth Plan:
Your Prescription for Success

Wealth is not something you wing. You achieve it the same way you achieve everything else: an assessment of data, logical and unemotional evaluation, educated insight, critical decision-making and a long-term commitment.

In order to accomplish this, we have a specific process that helps us identify who we can help and how we can best serve them. Rather than offer “free” advice and then a heavy-pressure sales pitch, we charge a flat fee for a standalone plan that takes into account your current finances and assets.

Want to understand our thinking and get a glimpse of what it’s like to work with us? Start with a no-cost, no-obligation analysis of your most recent tax return. We’ll identify key tax savings opportunities you missed and offer insight into how an Rx Wealth Plan will help you avoid pitfalls in the future and set you up for success.

The Rx Wealth Plan is a blueprint for building your critical financial infrastructure and includes:

  • Starting with your “why” – We know your situation is not like others.  We need to understand what is important to you and why.  Also, what makes you make the decisions you make.
  • Our and your assumptions – Both Rx Wealth and you must make some basic assumptions. We review these assumptions to be sure that not only are we on the same page, but that our assumptions are based on the best information possible.
  • Giving our recommendations with steps to implement –Based on your “why,” we lay out the specifics of what you need to do to build your financial infrastructure now and to capture opportunities and eliminate risks that could derail your wealth building in the future. For example, we may recommend strategies to get control of your cash flow, reduce taxes, tailor your portfolio to your vision, and protect your wealth from unexpected risks.
  • The art & science behind our recommendations – We share with you all the data, our logical and unemotional assessment of that data, and the factors and considerations that lead us to our recommendations.
  • Our ongoing infrastructure support – We outline how we will help you implement our recommendations and support you going forward.
  • Straightforward, actionable advice and service – We provide you advice, guidance, and service you can count on to help you protect and grow your wealth.

Much like becoming a physician, successfully building wealth and achieving your financial goals takes focus, determination, a defined path, and consistency. Without these key characteristics, a physician is just using hope as a strategy, and hope is rarely the best option for achieving success and wealth. If you are not using a defined framework to manage your wealth, please call us for a complimentary consult.

Early Career Physicians

If you’re a young professional, early in your career, you’re likely at a stage where you could use support managing your debt—either from medical school or buying into a practice, or both. While establishing your career, often with a young family at home, the first decade in medicine frequently leaves ambitious physicians vulnerable to lifestyle creep as your salary grows.

Case Study

 

Mid-Career Physicians

You’ve hit your career stride, but your wealth hasn’t grown at the pace you expected. The employment or partnership agreement you negotiated is paying off income-wise, but you’re looking to lower your tax burden and make sure you’ve contained your insurance costs. Now that you’re well established, your sights are set on your exit plan. After all, you can’t practice medicine forever and early retirement, working less, or transitioning into a more enjoyable but lower-paying role is starting to look pretty tempting.

Case Study

 

Late-Career Physicians

You’ve done it—built a successful career as a physician, and now it’s time to slow down, fully enjoy the rewards of the life you’ve created, and perhaps sell your practice. As you embrace your empty nest, less hectic schedule, and breathe a sigh of relief, you’ll want to make sure you have all the pieces in place for the retirement of your dreams.

This means considering selling your practice or negotiating an exit from your employer, revising your investment strategy and spending plan, protecting your assets, completing your estate planning, and preparing to leave a lasting legacy. Your advisor should have a thorough appreciation for what you’ve accomplished and a deep understanding of what it takes to wrap up a medical career on your terms.
