Prepare for a Major Liquidity Event

Whether you’re selling a business, exiting a major investment, or converting stock options, a liquidity event can change everything—and trigger new complexity. At Brickley, we can help you structure your transition in advance, so your next chapter begins with clarity, confidence, and control.

The Moment That Defines the Next Decade

Liquidity events often mark the single biggest financial inflection point in a family’s lifetime. But most people only plan after the money moves—missing key opportunities to:

  • Seek to reduce tax exposure with proactive structuring
  • Allocate new wealth in a way that supports long-term goals
  • Reevaluate estate planning in light of sudden net worth changes
  • Reduce the risk of wealth becoming a source of family confusion or conflict
Combination benefits

With Brickley's combined CPA and advisory, we can help you:

Assess your pre-transaction structure with your CPA and legal counsel
Create a strategy for handling sudden wealth across taxable, trust, and philanthropic vehicles
Align your liquidity with retirement, estate, and family planning
Prepare emotionally and logistically for the next phase of your financial life
