Why we built BuiltWealth™ for you

We didn’t just decide one day to start working with business owners.
Personally, I’ve been doing this for over 20 years now, and I’ve sat across the table from entrepreneurs at every stage.
From the owner who just figured out how to pull a real salary out of the business, all the way to the owner who’s handing a multi-million dollar check to the next generation.
Michael and I, and our whole team at HFM, have walked through the tax planning, the estate conversations, the family dynamics, the “what do I do now?” moments, many times.
What we kept seeing, especially with owners in the trades, was that nobody was serving them the way they deserved to be served.
These are business owners with real, complicated financial and investment needs, but they were either getting the same cookie-cutter advice as somebody retiring from a desk job, or they were being ignored entirely by the bigger firms until their company was worth some massive figure.
BuiltWealth™ is how we bring everything we’ve learned over those decades, every framework, every process, every hard-won lesson from working with entrepreneurs, and deliver it specifically for trades business owners.
On your terms. In your world. For your whole financial life, not just the investment piece.
That means we’re not starting from scratch.
When we sit down with you and map out where you are on the BuiltWealth™ Ladder, we already know which conversations need to happen with your accountant and your attorney, and when.
We know what makes a business more valuable to an acquirer, and we know that those same things tend to make it a better business to own.
We’ve built our team of advisors, CFPs, and tax planning partners, so that this relationship doesn’t end with us. It carries through to your kids and theirs.
This isn’t theory for us. This is 20-plus years of doing the work, refined into a process that’s built for how you actually operate.
That’s what BuiltWealth™ is.
Is it for you?
