Get Clarity and Confidence to Make the Most of Major Events in Your Financial Life
When major financial events arise—like receiving an options grant, going through a tender offer, preparing for an IPO, or navigating an acquisition—the stakes are high. These moments shape your financial future, but they often come with layers of complexity and uncertainty. We support you with data-informed perspectives on the implications of everything from startup compensation to liquidity events.
At Stardust Wealth Strategies, we thrive on the challenge of crafting tailored solutions for these situations. Together, we’ll explore your values and goals to create a plan that not only optimizes your financial opportunities but also aligns with what matters most to you. We provide actionable strategies for your unique circumstances, helping you confidently navigate equity compensation, tax planning, and liquidity events.
Project-based planning offers a focused way to address immediate needs while laying the groundwork for future success. Many clients return after the event driving their project has passed, ready to build on the foundation we’ve created together and continue working toward their long-term goals. Whether this is a one-time engagement or the beginning of an ongoing relationship, we’re here to help you make confident decisions and achieve financial clarity.
Fees for Event-Driven Financial Advising
Our project-based financial planning fees range from $2,000 to $10,000, depending on the complexity and scope of your specific needs. Half of the fee due upfront and the remaining balance upon project completion.
Every project is unique, so we encourage you to reach out to discuss your circumstances and receive a tailored estimate that reflects the value we’ll deliver.
