Fortress Financial Partners was founded to bring a fresh, personal approach to wealth management. Tired of the one-size-fits-all solutions of big firms, we created a hybrid Broker-Dealer and RIA to serve families and individuals according to their needs, free from corporate red tape.
Our independence means we prioritize your goals, without the distraction of public shareholders, private equity, or proprietary products.
Yes, proactive tax planning includes estate planning to help you transfer wealth efficiently while minimizing taxes. Without proper planning, your heirs may face unnecessary estate taxes, which could reduce the assets they inherit. We work to structure your estate in a way that leverages tax-efficient gifting, trusts, and other strategies to protect your wealth.
By planning ahead, you can ensure a smoother transition for your loved ones while preserving more of your assets. Our goal is to help you leave a lasting financial legacy with minimal tax impact.
Yes, while we provide tax preparation within our comprehensive suite of services, we are happy to coordinate with your CPA to ensure no strategies are overlooked, and that your tax decisions support your broader financial goals.
This partnership allows us to fine-tune investment, retirement, and estate strategies to be as tax-efficient as possible. If you don’t have a CPA, we can recommend professionals who align with your needs.
The best time to start tax planning is now, regardless of your income level or financial situation. Tax laws change frequently, and planning throughout the year allows you to take advantage of potential savings opportunities before it’s too late. Waiting until tax season often means you’re only reacting to what’s already happened, rather than proactively making adjustments.
By starting early, you can optimize deductions, manage capital gains, and make strategic contributions to retirement or investment accounts. A well-thought-out tax plan helps ensure you’re making the most of every financial opportunity available.
Proactive tax planning helps you minimize your tax burden by identifying strategies to reduce taxable income, maximize deductions, and optimize your investment tax efficiency. Instead of just reacting at tax time, we help you plan ahead to take advantage of opportunities throughout the year.
This approach can lead to significant savings, improved cash flow, and a stronger financial future. By aligning your tax strategy with your long-term goals, you can make smarter financial decisions. Our goal is to ensure you keep more of what you earn while staying compliant with tax laws.
Yes! While your CPA focuses on past taxes, we help plan for the future by identifying strategies to reduce your tax liability.
