We’ll help you zero in on the most important areas—like your RSUs, taxes, and investments—so you can make decisions that actually move the needle for your future.
You’ve got the career, the skills, the capacity to earn, and the equity—but are your finances keeping up?
You’re not sure how to invest based on your goals or risk tolerance
Ignoring your investments could cost you hundreds of thousands, even millions
Big investment firms leave you confused about fees and performance
At KB Financial Advisors, we don’t just plan your wealth. We manage & grow it for you.
Targeted stock diversification
Concentrated stock diversification and 10(b)5-1 plan guidance
If you’re sitting on a pile of stock from your company, we get it—it’s tempting to ride the wave. But if that wave crashes, it can hurt. We’ll help you diversify your holdings with a targeted strategy that balances risk and reward. Whether it’s spreading things out to lower volatility or setting up a 10(b)5-1 plan for smooth, predictable sales, we’ve got your back, so you don’t have to worry about putting all your eggs in one basket.
Smarter tax allocation
Tax-deferred, tax-free, and taxable accounts to lower lifetime taxes
Taxes don’t have to be the villain in your financial story. With the right strategy, they can be just another part of your financial game plan. We’ll show you how to allocate your tax-deferred, tax-free, and taxable accounts so you don’t get stuck with a hefty tax bill down the road. Think of it as tax-proofing your future—because who doesn’t like the idea of keeping more of your hard-earned cash?
