Pharma, Biotech and Med Device Solutions
Opportunity and uncertainty exist in equal parts in your fast-paced, ever-changing career. Working in biotechnology or pharmaceuticals can mean frequent chances for promotions, equity compensation options, and substantial benefit packages—but it can also mean that your company could undergo an acquisition at any time, you don’t know exactly what your income will be each year, and that you’re unsure how to leverage your benefit packages and bonuses. At Famous Financial, we specialize in helping individuals in biotech and pharma simplify their finances so they can capitalize on opportunities and protect their futures in their evolving industry.
Your income might fluctuate based on bonuses or promotions, but that doesn’t mean your personal finances have to become a guessing game. We’ll work with you to discover your values and goals so we can help you develop a strategy to manage, maintain, and accumulate wealth as your career grows. We’ll review your financial landscape so we can help you organize your assets and manage liabilities; from there, we’ll create actionable objectives that move you toward your goals. If you transfer to a new company, we’ll help you evaluate benefit packages and consolidate your 401(k)s so you maintain a unified investment strategy.
You work in an industry of ever-advancing technology and ingenuity, and you need a financial strategy that’s just as innovative and adaptive. Our mission is to give you confidence about your financial stability, even in the event that your company downsizes or is acquired by a competitor. We know the challenges you face, but we also know how to help you prepare for them. Let us help you manage your financial picture so you can be confident for a future in the career that you love.
Asset Protection
There are numerous financial strategies you can implement to protect what you own and accumulate wealth for the future. We offer specific strategies to help you protect your business and personal assets from liabilities, accumulate wealth to sustain your retirement, and safeguard asset transfer to your children and grandchildren. Whatever your goal, we’ll help you determine the right course of action to mitigate risk for your specific situation and objectives.
Charitable Planning
Your wealth has the power to impact lives, and charitable planning allows you to create a brighter tomorrow for others as you prepare for your own future. We help you leverage your financial strategies in a way that maximizes impact for the causes you care about and supports your personal financial goals. We’ll develop strategies that allow you to leverage opportunities to give back, reduce your tax burden, and provide additional income streams for your future. Giving back is a great way to enrich your life as well as others—let us help you prepare for those opportunities in the most effective way possible.
Disability and Extended Care Needs
Preparing for a sound financial future isn’t just about saving money—it’s about protecting your income and preparing for unexpected events that could impact your financial security. A comprehensive financial strategy takes into account ways to maximize your wealth as well as potential circumstances that could affect your future cashflow. We offer solutions for disability insurance and extended care that help you manage unexpected expenses and ensure you’re prepared for any future. We’ll help you identify your risk factors and establish safeguards to protect your assets so you can continue on the path to a confident future.
Retirement Planning
If you intend to retire (and most people do), the best time to start planning is now. Our team will help you discover what a satisfying retirement looks like to you—whether you want to manage your business as long as possible or you plan to cash in a pension at 55. We’ll help you determine what you need to retire comfortably and how that affects your current planning objectives. We’ll review your risk, assets, and current planning status, then recommend tools to maximize your earnings now and protect your wealth in the future. Whatever a fulfilling future looks like to you—we’re here to help you prepare for it.
Education Planning
Preparing for your child’s education might be the last thing you want to think about—especially if your kids are still young and you’re paying off your own student loan debt. But by starting early, we can help you make funding their education a manageable goal. Our team of professionals will help you simplify the process and consider factors like tuition inflation, taxes, and risks to develop a strategy that balances your current budget, maximizes your resources, and prepares the best future for you and your children.
Debt Management
Managing debt can be an overwhelming process. Whether you need guidance for paying off student loans or organizing your finances to get on track for your saving goals, our team is here to help you develop an actionable strategy and make managing your debt a reality. We’ll help you establish realistic objectives to pay off your debt and achieve benchmarks that guide you toward your overall goals. We’re here to help you lift the burden of debt so you can move forward with your financial future and get back to living your life.
401(k) and IRA Rollovers
Your 401(k) might feel like a distant aspect of your hiring paperwork until it comes time to retire or change your career path. These accounts can be incredibly useful assets for your retirement, and it’s important to optimize your opportunities from these plans, whether you’re changing jobs or planning to exit the workforce soon. We’ll work with your tax advisor to help you determine the best course of action for your existing 401(k) or IRA that aligns with your retirement goals. When you leave a job or retire, you have a decision to make regarding your 401(k) money. Depending on what your plan allows, you might be able to leave those assets in your former employer's account or transfer the money to a different fund. If the plan allows for transfers, you could put the money into your IRA or transfer it to your new employer, if your new employer offers a 401(k) plan that qualifies for rollovers. Each choice offers advantages and disadvantages, depending on your specific needs and goals. We’ll help you determine a decision based on each account’s investment options and services, applicable fees, expenses, and withdrawal options. We’ll also help you consider each account’s minimum distribution options and tax requirements and how that affects your objectives. Whatever your plan allows, we’ll help you take advantage of the best choice for your future goals.
