Built for the Moments Your Equity Becomes Wealth

Lake House Private Wealth Management is the independent fiduciary firm for executives navigating equity-driven liquidity events — acquisitions, IPOs, change-of-control payments, and the moments that define a career. The decisions made in the 12 months around a liquidity event determine whether the wealth you've built funds a generation, or evaporates into avoidable taxes and concentrated stock risk.

Independent. Specialized. Built for that window.

WHY LAKE HOUSE
Three things most advisors won't tell you.

1. Independence is structural, not aspirational. Lake House isn't an advisor at a bank pretending to be independent. We custody at Schwab and Fidelity, hold no proprietary products, and earn nothing from product manufacturers. The advice you receive is the advice we'd give our own families — because there's no firm-side incentive structure pulling it in any other direction.

2. Specialty depth beats generalist breadth. The decisions an executive faces at an acquisition, a vesting cliff, or a 280G payment are not the decisions a retiree faces. We've built Lake House around three specialty practices — M&A and liquidity events, executive equity compensation, and pre-retirement coordination — because depth in a few practices serves clients better than generalist competence across every problem an advisor might encounter.

3. The firm exists for the moments that matter. Most advisors are built for the long, calm middle of an executive career. We're built for the inflection points — the years that determine whether the wealth you've built funds a generation or evaporates into avoidable taxes and concentrated risk. That's not marketing. That's the model.

WHO WE HELP
Specialty depth for executives at the moments that matter.

Lake House clients face one of three inflection moments — an acquisition or change-of-control event, a compounding equity compensation problem, or the unique financial demands of an aviation career. We've built the firm around all three.

HOW WE HELP
Coordination, not just planning.

Most executives don't need another plan. They need someone running the coordination across tax, equity, family, and timing — so the decisions get made in the right order, with the right professionals at the table, before the planning windows close

MAP THE MOMENT

Before any recommendations, we build the full picture — your equity comp calendar, your trigger event timeline, your tax exposure, your family decisions, the professionals already in your ecosystem.

This is the work most advisors skip. It's also the work that determines whether the rest of the plan actually fits.

DESIGN THE COORDINATION

We build the integrated plan — not just an investment strategy, but the sequencing of tax decisions, equity exercises, charitable timing, and family transfers across the 12–36 months ahead.

Your CPA, attorney, and HR team are part of this conversation. We bring the framework. They bring the execution. We coordinate.

EXECUTE TOGETHER

Plans don't execute themselves. The 10b5-1 setup happens on a deadline. The 280G election has a window. The Roth conversion has to happen before year-end.

We run the calendar, surface the decisions, and quarterback the moves — so nothing falls through the cracks.

REVISIT, REFINE, REPEAT

Equity comp keeps vesting. Tax law keeps changing. Family situations keep evolving. Lake House clients hear from us proactively — not just when they call.

The work is never "done." Neither is the coordination.

If your situation has changed, the conversation should change with it.

Generic wealth management is built for the middle of an executive career. Lake House is built for the moments when the middle ends — and the next decisions determine the rest.

If your company is being acquired, your equity is vesting, or you're three to seven years from a transition you've been quietly thinking about, we'd value a conversation. No pitch, no obligation — just a clear read on whether your situation is a fit for the way we work.
