    A Windfall Can Feel Overwhelming

    A business sale, IPO, inheritance, or legal settlement can bolster your wealth and open the door to life-changing opportunities. But these windfalls typically come with complexity, tax consequences, and time-sensitive decisions. 

    In fact, some of the biggest financial mistakes we see are made right after receiving a windfall. 

    Whether you’ve just experienced a liquidity event or one is on the horizon, you don’t have to approach it blindly — or alone. In this webinar, Connor Donovan, CFP®, Lisa Manzolillo, CFP®, CDFA®, and Garrett Wells, CFP® will walk you through a strategic framework for making deliberate, coordinated decisions across areas of your financial life.

      About Simon Quick Advisors

      At Simon Quick Advisors, we understand the unwieldy challenges that wealth can create — because our founders faced them too.rnrnIn 2004, Leslie Quick was frustrated with financial firms that prioritized sales over service, so he established a multi-family office to provide independent, fiduciary management for his family and others. Similarly, J. Peter Simon, his brother William E. Simon Jr., and their father, former Secretary of the Treasury William E. Simon, opened a family office to protect and grow their family’s legacy.rnrnIn 2017, these two firms united to form Simon Quick Advisors, combining their shared values and deep expertise to better serve clients. Today, we continue their mission to deliver wealth management that’s built on trust, not transactions.

      The Trust We’ve Earned

      When I started looking for a financial advisor I was already working with an investment broker, an accountant, and a trust and estates attorney, but no one was looking at my entire financial picture holistically. The Simon Quick team had the knowledge, experience, and the technology to help me view everything in one place. Today I can focus my energy on growing my business, knowing that the team at Simon Quick is monitoring my personal assets.u0022
