ParkHaven advises owners preparing to exit a company, executives navigating stock options and concentrated equity, and high-net-worth families coordinating investments, tax, estate, and liquidity under a single fiduciary relationship.
Business exit planning prepares an owner's personal financial picture for the eventual sale, recapitalization, or succession of a company. The earlier the conversation, the more options remain — particularly for estate structure, charitable intentions, and tax treatment that depend on decisions made well before a transaction. ParkHaven coordinates that work alongside the owner's legal and tax counsel.
Planning conducted in advance of a sale, recapitalization, or secondary transaction tends to preserve the most flexibility — across timing, estate structure, charitable intentions, and coordination with tax and legal counsel.
A transaction introduces decisions that arrive quickly. ParkHaven serves as a steady point of coordination among attorneys, accountants, and deal counsel, keeping the owner's personal financial picture organized while the transaction moves.
When a company sale converts ownership into 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.
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, 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.
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, and what each choice triggers — before deadlines force decisions.
A concentrated position exists when one company's stock — often acquired through founding equity or compensation — represents a large share of total wealth. Concentration ties personal financial outcomes to one company's performance, which is why diversification, restrictions, and timing become a central discipline.
A 10b5-1 plan is a written, pre-arranged trading plan that allows 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.
Some financial lives do not fit neatly on a single statement. Multiple entities and partnerships. Real estate across states. Private company holdings. Trusts with different trustees and purposes. ParkHaven's role as a high-net-worth financial advisor is to bring these elements into one organized view — assets, liabilities, ownership, and obligations — so decisions are made with the whole balance sheet in mind, in coordination with the attorneys and accountants who serve it.
Investments, tax-aware planning, trust and estate structure, banking, and reporting organized under a single fiduciary relationship — coordinated with the family's CPA and attorney.

A private wealth experience that feels known, organized, and deeply personal — the calm of a private advisory relationship with the structure, access, and planning mindset expected by families with significant wealth.
Yes — typically earlier than most owners expect. Planning conducted well before a sale, recapitalization, or secondary transaction tends to preserve the most flexibility for estate structure, charitable intentions, and tax treatment, since many of those choices depend on decisions made months or years in advance. ParkHaven coordinates this work alongside the owner's legal and tax counsel.
Restricted stock, options, and performance awards each carry different vesting schedules, tax treatment, and trading restrictions. A financial advisor for stock options helps executives understand what is owned, when it becomes accessible, what each choice triggers, and how the equity relates to the rest of the balance sheet — so decisions are made on a plan, not on a deadline.
Business exit planning is the work of preparing an owner's personal financial picture for the eventual sale, transition, or succession of a company. It coordinates the personal balance sheet, estate structure, charitable intentions, and tax considerations with the company's legal and transactional process — so the owner's outcome after the transaction is shaped intentionally rather than reactively.
Concentration ties personal financial outcomes to one company's performance, so planning generally begins as soon as a single position becomes a meaningful share of total wealth. The work involves understanding vesting, restrictions, trading windows, and tax treatment, and considering tools such as 10b5-1 plans in coordination with company and personal counsel — well before a window closes or a deadline forces action.
A high-net-worth financial advisor coordinates investments, tax-aware planning, trust and estate structure, banking and lending, and reporting under a single fiduciary relationship — organizing the family's full balance sheet and the outside professionals who serve it, rather than advising on the portfolio in isolation.
