Tax Efficient Strategies

 

We specialize in tax-smart planning for high-net-worth investors, leveraging proven strategies to help reduce the impact of taxes on your long-term financial goals.

​Comprehensive, Ongoing Wealth Management

For clients seeking a long-term financial partner, our ongoing planning and investment management simplifies complexity and brings clarity around retirement, tax planning, and legacy decisions.. 

Why Choose This?

Your life evolves —your financial plan should too.  Ongoing support helps you adapt with confidence, knowing your strategy is proactive and built to last.

 Best For: Households with $1.5M-$5M+, seeking full-service planning, investment oversight, and long-tern guidance. 

Standalone Financial Planning Projects

For specific planning needs—like tax planning, equity compensation, or decumulation timing—we offer flat-fee engagements designed to deliver clarity and actionable recommendations.

 

Why Choose This?

You need trusted answers for a critical decision. Our project-based work provides fiduciary advice for focused scenarios that don’t require ongoing support.

Best for: Investors who need specialized planning but are not ready for full wealth management.

Openings available on a limited basis.

“Do the right thing, do it the right way, and do it right now.”

Gerard O’Reilly, PhD

Chart showing $5M growing to $27.75M with Altruist’s flat fee vs. $22.93M with AUM fees.

*This illustration is for informational purposes only and assumes a $5,000,000 portfolio with a 6% annual return over 30 years, with no contributions or withdrawals.

Flat fees are based on Altruist Wealth Management’s model, which ranges from $3,000 to $12,000 annually, determined through consultation and influenced by account complexity.

AUM fees are based on publicly available industry averages, ranging from 1.02% under $1 million to 0.59% for larger accounts.

This illustration does not account for taxes, inflation, or other real-world financial variables, and does not reflect or guarantee future performance. Full methodology, including data sources and assumptions, is available upon request.

The less that comes out of your accounts, the more there is to compound and grow over time − it is that simple. 

Many investors don’t realize how much they pay in fees, often because most advisors charge a percentage of assets rather than a clear, fixed cost. These fees compound over time, potentially reducing long-term outcomes.

Our flat, transparent pricing ensures you always know exactly what you’re paying—no hidden fees, no surprises.
