A Singular Targeted Purpose

Casey Pisano, CFP®, MST has spent over ten years in client-facing financial services. During this time he realized there is a gap in between the work that accountants and financial advisors often perform for clients. This gap is the tax and wealth transfer strategy that clients demand.

For the Ultra High Net Worth this gap is often addressed by establishing a family office or installing a virtual family office solution. This can provide a team of highly qualified professionals that work with only that family’s wealth and business endeavors. While this is a great solution for that market segment, it is costly. For those with $30–50m in assets and above, the cost may be a good value. For everyone else, the cost likely does not justify the expense.

Bluestone exists to address the tax and wealth transfer needs of those who fall through the gap that exists between ultra-high net worth and those that demand a level of service commensurate with their work ethic and achievement.
