We offer integrated planning to help individuals, families, and business owners align every financial decision—from strategic wealth planning and tax optimization to business succession, estate design, and multigenerational wealth transfer.

What Brings Our Clients to the Table

Real challenges. Real life.

Life doesn’t come with a playbook—especially when major financial decisions intersect with family, business, and long-term goals. Transitions, liquidity events, and evolving relationships often create pressure, uncertainty, and complexity

  • Affluent Families juggle near-term needs, long-term ambitions, and the dynamics of wealth across generations.
  • Business Owners face concentrated risk, growing tax exposure, and the challenge of planning for an eventual exit or succession.
  • Entrepreneurs & Young Investors are gaining traction seek clarity—across investments, taxes, estate planning, and day-to-day financial decisions.
  • Women in Transition often navigate financial choices after loss, divorce, inheritance, or other life-changing events.

At Asset Preservation Strategies, we align every financial decision—so you can move forward with clarity, not guesswork.

Our Process

A collaborative process, not a one-time plan.

Our approach is tailored, transparent, and built to grow with you. We coordinate with your existing team—or help you build one—to integrate your legal, tax, investment, and personal decisions into one cohesive plan.

  1. Discovery – We listen. Where are you now? What matters most?
  2. Strategy – We analyze your full picture and design a coordinated plan to connect the dots.
  3. Implementation – We coordinate action with your broader team.
  4. Ongoing Review – As your life evolves, so does the plan.

“We don’t push investments—we get to know you. We’re product- and strategy-agnostic, focused instead on understanding your goals and educating you on the possibilities that align with them. If you have a vision for your wealth, our job is to help shape a strategy that supports it while providing access to exclusive opportunities.” Greg Banner, CEO

Client Spotlight

We’re proud to work with clients across generations, industries, and life stages. Here are a few of their stories, in their own words.

I’m a 64-year-old divorced woman and entrepreneur with a clear vision for retirement. I can save money, but do not have the expertise to invest it like a professional. John and his team at Asset Preservation Strategies not only manage my money competently, they ensure I understand the plan every step of the way. We are a team. Their mentorship empowers me and creates peace of mind about my financial future. Trust and results. That’s what I want from a financial planner … and John and his team deliver.

Leslie Z

John and Monica and the entire Asset Preservation Strategies team are my financial advisors and support. I am the third generation, relying on their wisdom and expertise in financial planning. It is not just financial planning but truly preserving resources for future developments and generations. They take each client’s unique circumstances and listen intently then lay out a wide range of opportunities providing experience and insight for each decision. My kids will probably be 4th generation in the next few years as they grow and understand how John and Monica shared their wisdom with their parents.

Integrated Wealth Management

Wealth management isn’t just about picking investments. It’s about making sure your capital is organized around your life—not the other way around. At Asset Preservation Strategies, we use a disciplined, real-world framework to coordinate risk, income, and opportunity across time.

The Bucket Plan®: Time-Segmented Clarity

Instead of treating your wealth as one undifferentiated pool, we separate it into three purpose-built buckets:

  • Now – Accessible for short-term spending and emergencies
  • Soon – Income-focused investments to cover near-term needs
  • Later – Long-term growth assets designed to build legacy and replenish the others over time

This structure gives each dollar a defined role—so you’re not forced to sell at the wrong time or guess where your next draw will come from.

Core & Satellite Strategy: Structured Flexibility

We build portfolios around a central core of diversified, long-term holdings—then surround that with satellite strategies that adapt to market conditions, personal preferences, or tax opportunities.

  • Core – Quality investments that aim to stay steady through market cycles
  • Satellite – Targeted positions like private equity, structured notes, or thematic investments that can offer growth or protection depending on the environment

Together, these strategies create an adaptive system—one that balances protection and growth, minimizes overexposure, and reflects your personal comfort with risk and opportunity.

Bottom line? We don’t just manage money. We manage the structure around it—ensuring that your investments, income needs, and long-term priorities work in sync.

Ready to Put Structure Behind Your Strategy?

Whether you’re preparing for a business transition, organizing generational wealth, or simply looking for a clearer path forward- we’ll help you connect the dots and make every decision count.

Let’s talk about what’s next- and build a plan that reflects where you’ve been and where you want to go.

No pressure. Just perspective—and a plan that’s aligned with you.
