Business Description

Emerald Wealth Management, LLC provides expertise to business owners, retirees and families. Our philosophies revolve around Asset Growth and Protection, Retirement Planning, Personal and Business Risk Management, Wealth Accumulation, Minimization of Taxes & Business Succession strategies.

As a CFP and a CPA with a Master's of Accounting, my clients benefit from my experience with tax efficient investment management advice, tax reduction strategies and the ability to communicate with their tax compliance preparer directly.

401(k) and IRA Rollovers,
Stock Option Planning (including ESOPs),
IRA Investment Management,
Business Succession Plans,
