Planning built around concentrated success — equity compensation, liquidity events, and the financial decisions that follow building or leading a company.
Founders and executives often hold wealth in a form that is anything but simple. Equity compensation, restricted shares, options, and ownership stakes can represent the majority of a balance sheet — concentrated in a single company, subject to vesting schedules, trading windows, and tax treatment that changes with every decision. ParkHaven's work begins with organizing that picture: what is owned, what it may become, what restricts it, and how it relates to the rest of the financial life.
Planning conducted in advance of a sale, IPO, or secondary transaction tends to preserve the most flexibility. We help clients think through timing considerations, charitable intentions, estate structure, and coordination with tax and legal counsel — well before signatures are required.
The earlier the conversation, the more options remain. Call 1-800-391-5131.
A transaction introduces decisions that arrive quickly. ParkHaven serves as a steady point of coordination among attorneys, accountants, and company counsel, helping keep the personal financial picture organized while the deal moves.
When concentrated equity becomes liquid capital, the questions change — investment policy, diversification approach, income structure, and the stewardship of wealth intended to last. The transition is treated as a discipline, not an event.
As an investment adviser, ParkHaven owes its clients a fiduciary duty under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Advice for founders and executives begins with their interests, circumstances, and obligations — including the restrictions and responsibilities that come with leadership roles.
The same framework that serves established families is applied to newly complex balance sheets: tax-aware planning, institutional portfolio discipline, trust and estate coordination, and private banking access — organized through a single advisory relationship.
Earlier than most expect. Planning conducted well before a sale, IPO, or secondary transaction often preserves flexibility — particularly for estate structure, charitable intentions, and tax treatment that may depend on decisions made months or years in advance. ParkHaven coordinates this work alongside a founder's legal and tax counsel.
A concentrated position exists when a single company's stock — often acquired through founding equity or compensation — represents a large share of someone's total wealth. Concentration ties personal financial outcomes to one company's performance, which is why planning around diversification, restrictions, and timing becomes a central discipline.
A 10b5-1 plan is a written, pre-arranged trading plan that allows company insiders to sell shares on a predetermined schedule, established when they are not in possession of material non-public information. ParkHaven helps executives consider how such plans fit a broader financial strategy, in coordination with company and personal counsel.
Restricted stock, options, and performance awards each carry different vesting schedules, tax treatment, and restrictions. Planning means understanding what is owned, when it becomes accessible, what each choice triggers, and how the equity relates to the rest of the balance sheet — before deadlines force decisions.
When concentrated equity becomes liquid capital, the questions change: investment policy, diversification approach, income structure, and the stewardship of wealth intended to last. ParkHaven treats the transition as a discipline rather than an event — establishing structure before capital is deployed.
