AUSTIN AVERY

I help business owners and retirees confidently transition from the "Accumulation" phase of their financial journey into the "Allocation" phase. You have spent your life diligently building a foundation of wealth; my mission is to help you "turn on the tap." Instead of viewing retirement as a slow retreat, I help my clients maximize their income efficiency so they have the "permission to spend". Together, we engineer a Purpose-Driven Paycheck designed to fund your lifestyle, maximize your generosity, and build a lasting legacy.

Professional Background Traditional financial firms often rely on the outdated 4% rule, telling retirees to move everything into "safe" bonds and simply hope they stay afloat. As a wealth advisor and Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA), I believe that is a recipe for anxiety, not impact. I help my clients "Think Beyond the Market" by shifting the focus to two primary offensive levers: Income Efficiency and Tax Optimization.

Using my Three-Bucket Blueprint, we organize your wealth to ensure every dollar has a pre-assigned job. By utilizing Private Investment Funds (like institutional real estate and private credit) and Structured Notes, we can generate a consistent, high-yield paycheck that isn't dependent on the daily whims of the S&P 500. My goal is to transform your wealth from a static nest egg into an active employee working 24/7—transitioning you from a passive speculator into a purpose-driven investor.

Why CEPA: I pursued my Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA) designation to deepen my expertise in complex business transitions. My approach goes beyond a simple third-party sale; I focus on structured internal continuity using long-term holding structures. By utilizing Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs) and internal management stock plans, we can provide partial liquidity, reward long-term performance, retain top talent, and allow for a gradual, tax-efficient transfer of equity over time.

Beyond the Numbers I believe a successful exit isn't just about maximizing multiples—it's about the people involved and the community impact. When I’m not analyzing cash flow or building portfolios, you’ll likely find me on the golf course. I organize the "Fairways in Faith" men's fellowship golf tournament, blending my love for the game with a passion for community, faith, and organic mentorship.
