Personalized Wealth and Financial Complexity Management
Build your incredible future
You’ve done well so far, but you might feel like something could be missing. You may want to build something lasting for the future, or you may want to know how soon you can work because you want to, not because you must. Partnering with Doncaster Wealth, a fee-only fiduciary firm, can help you make it happen.
Put simply, we help you avoid mistakes, create options for the future, and execute. To Doncaster Wealth, wealth management is complexity management.
Whether you’re still working, or if you’re retired (or soon to be), we can help you with:
Cash Flow Management: Make saving, debt, and investing decisions a breeze to build the future you need.
Decisions on RSU’s, Stock Options, and Bonuses: Maximize your wealth and enjoyment of life, rather than watching your company’s stock.
Goals Planning: Few people have a singular financial goal. We help you optimize and prioritize your competing goals and make multiple goals a reality.
Investment Planning: Build a personalized investment strategy that prioritizes the right level of risk, minimizes taxes, and gives you options.
Risk Planning: Know what can go wrong and create the strategies to mitigate those concerns.
Tax Planning: Save not only on this year’s taxes, but create your lowest lifetime tax bill.
Employer Benefits: Maximize your options and free money from your employer.
Retirement Planning: Know how much you can spend, what assets you should spend first, and build the strategies that will continue to build wealth.

we provide you personalized, intangible and tangible wealth solutions
Intangible
Confidence that your plan will work, regardless of life or situation changes.
A team that lets you learn from the mistakes of others. Your next financial challenge may be your first, but not ours.
Proactive planning: see potential problems before they arise.
Elimination of unease around RSU’s and Stock options.
Save time and headaches: spend more time with family and friends, have fun, and improve professionally.
Second set of eyes and opinions on the one-offs: home and car purchases, gifting, donations, etc.
Financial Accountability:
Save the right amount for your future.
Take profits when appropriate.
Take on the right amount of risk in your investment accounts.
Check off the to-do’s you’ve been putting off (estate planning, insurance policies, etc.).
Tangible
Tax saving strategy: this alone should recoup fees many times over.
Appropriate investment approach: improve returns, obtain the right level of risk based on your goals and timeline.
Asset location: hold assets in the right places to reduce taxes.
Gain/Loss harvesting: reduce taxes now, and position yourself for future tax savings.
Spending strategy: we help you think this through beforehand to save taxes and reduce opportunity cost.
Cash management: earn the maximum on the appropriate amount of cash.
Lifetime tax bill planning: create a plan with the lowest lifetime tax bill.
Client calendar: accountability to actually improve throughout the year.

don’t be another number at a big financial firm
Large financial firms have inherent issues in putting you first:
A firm with thousands of advisors must manage advisors at the lowest-common-denominator level. They have restrictions on strategy, advice that can be given, and limits on new technology and tools. Clients do not get the best, because the firm must protect itself first.
Portfolios are made to be firm-friendly, not client-first. The larger the firm, the harder it is to move large quantities of money in the market. This results in missed opportunities, and indistinguishable portfolios across firms. Shouldn’t your portfolio be based on your priorities, not what is helpful for the firm?
While large firms talk a big game on staying on top of new technology, investment strategies, and tax planning, the reality is they have entrenched bureaucracy and redundancy, reducing your efficiency and costing your more.
