Next Generation Business Transition Planning

Pre-Transaction Value and Readiness Planning

We work with privately owned companies well before a sale is imminent to strengthen equity value and owner readiness. This includes business readiness planning, due diligence preparation, integrated tax and wealth considerations, and guidance around timing, valuation, and growth strategy decisions. Owners gain clarity on what buyers evaluate, what needs improvement, and how to position the business to operate successfully beyond the founder.

Transaction and Liquidity Event Advisory

For owners actively evaluating or executing a transaction, we provide steady financial and tax planning support throughout the process. This includes buy side and sell side guidance, offer and earnout analysis, tax planning before and during a sale, and coordination through due diligence so decisions remain informed, organized, and aligned with long term objectives.

Post-Transaction Wealth, Tax, and Family Planning

After a liquidity event, we help owners transition from operating wealth to stewarding it. This includes integrating tax strategy, wealth management, retirement planning, real estate considerations, and family planning into a coordinated long term framework that supports lifestyle goals, legacy priorities, and next generation planning.

Business Transition Planning Questions for Private Company Owners

Ideally, planning begins several years before a potential sale. Compound Wealth works with owners early to assess readiness, improve financial reporting, and address buyer considerations over time. This allows space to strengthen equity value, align tax and wealth planning, and make thoughtful decisions around timing rather than reacting late in the process.
Additionally, we have built Compound with AI as the backbone. All of our processes have been formulated using AI tools. As other firms need to rework all of their workflows to adapt to the rise of AI, Compound is ahead of the curve.
Tax planning before a business sale can significantly influence after-tax proceeds.
